Snowblind Progress

[samwisel88]

Hi everyone, been using PCSX2 on and off for years, but this is my first time posting. I remember not too long ago someone finally went in and figured out exactly what was causing the half-screen bug in Snowblind engine games. I was hoping we could get an update on whether this issue was being investigated, and if there was potentially a fix in the works. Either way, thanks for this awesome piece of software.

Yeah there's a fix.

I think you need to come back in a couple of days. I have the feeling that we will get soon a new stable release... Snowblind fix is still not merged if I am not wrong.

It is a beta build but should contain the Snowblind fixes.

OMG I'm at work but I will try this out as soon as I get home. If this works you guys will be my heroes.

This build could have some issue in native resolution (fixed in latest git). Otherwise it must be fine.

I can honestly say I saw this and yelled out loud I was so happy I noticed the compatibility list hasn't been updated for Champions: Return to Arms (not sure of other snowblind games) since version 1.1.0 (and idk how it was marked playable then as you had half a screen in hardware and I get 40fps top with 6 extra rendering threads in software) but I am eager to retry playing this and a few of my other snowblind games when I get home (my lappy is a joke lol I need the desktop power )

Playability is not governed by speed or requiring hardware, as long as the game works in some configuration, at any speed, it is classed as playable

Oh I see... Well i think that is kind of inaccurate as at least to me 35-40 FPS isn't playable, especially whenever you use a skill it dips to like 25 but if that is how it's setup then I guess I can't judge I'm just psyched it might be playable by my definition!! (I still haven't been home to try it yet )

To squeeze out some extra performance disable widescreen hacks and zoom all the way in with the right stick to minimize the rendering area.
