Mirror effected lights and Missing Alpha hack

[zyko93]

Does anyone know how to enable the "alpha" hack we used back in the day?
and if you know how to fix the mirror effect without having to play in native resolution?
Skipdraw does not fix the issue.

I've tried playing Ratchet & Clank : Dreadlocked & Lotr : The Third Age

Same issues appears to be in both.

Please help, I really wanna re-live my childhood

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

The problem is there 100% of the time, I know others have fixed similar issues with skipdraw, alpha and texture offsets. but skipdraw does nothing, texture offset fixes it a tiny bit (but still too annoying to play with) and I don't have the alpha option.

"Emulog.txt" is empty.

means you didn't launch your game.
best would be
1 - to launch a game
2 - to take a screenshot of your error
3 - to post both your screenshot and your emulog

ok, waiting for your screenshot.
but there's a chance it'll be fixed in ogl renderer

[zyko93]

Won't let me post any screenshots for some reason. If you look at the text "New game, load game and more" It has this blurry effect which you see out through the entire game so basically anything that is shiny or reflective gets this effect.
   
   

[zyko93]

If you want we can further discuss the matter on discord/skype, where I'll also allow you to take control of my computer through teamviewer.

[zyko93]

For now I'm hopping the bed, you may add me on discord at "Xaltorez#5651"

Switch to OpenGL if you have a Nvidia GPU and use Half Pixel Offset
