Legacy of Kain 2 Graphical issue

[ShadedTear]

System specs are in signature. Video Card is GTX 1080
Driver version: 368.81
PCSX2 Version: GIT 1214-gda68811

Issue: At certain distances the textures of the characters become really messed up. This becomes especially apparent in the opening in-engine cutscene.
This "bug" does not happen in Software mode and does happen in both the OpenGL and DX11 renderer.

Screenshots:







I am also including a GS dump for any devs who may be interested.

I personally couldn't find a solution other than using software mode but if anyone could, please enlighten me.

Known issue. It's just the lack of mipmapping.

[ShadedTear]

Oh that's right. I remember something about that years ago . . . Actually, maybe I even made a thread about it?

Is there any progress on that front?

[FlatOut]

No. As far as I know no one is actively working on mipmapping.

[Blyss Sarania]

Mapping those mips is hard

Seriously though, I read that gregory had an idea how to do it but it was way down on his list because of the amount of work involved and the low number of games affected(which are ofc playable in software mode).

[FlatOut]

It might be a low number of games that are affected, but they include some of the very best games.

[Blyss Sarania]

But they are still playable in software mode and it's not a trivial task at all.

They're also playable on PS2, and they look better on PS2 than software mode. They might as well not be playable in PCSX2.

Personally I would love to see this game playable in the emulator since the PC version is so bunk and it looks so good at 4x native (errors not withstanding)

But if I'm stuck playing on my PS2 then so be it.
