So I have been trying to get Shrek 2 to work look nice through the emulator, and I'm having this issue: Fog renders badly with both Hardware Renderers, and setting skipdraw to 3 fixes that problem, but when objects like bushes leave their draw distance they disappear without fading out. When using the Software renderer the objects fade out properly when leaving the draw distance, but the fog is still broken (and there is no skipdraw with software rendering). I might make a bug report later but I just wanted to post this to see if anyone had a solution first.

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!):

I started in software rendering, which has the broken fog, then switched to hardware rendering, which has the broken object fade in.

Here also is a video of the problems in action: youtu.be/TKlmlrjaNvA

Also there is some visual artifacts in the menu when using hardware rendering.

Do you own another PS2 console ?

yeah I have a ps2 slim. Why? I have the game and my friends and I play it as a yearly thing and I'm looking into emulating it in case anything happens to the disk or we run out of ps2s to play it on.

Extract the bios from your PS2 slim and use it instead.
That very rare PS2 model you own is known to be buggy

oh okay I'll try that. I remember having trouble getting the bios dumper to work last time but I'll give it another go.
