God Eater games showing black screens in PowerVR

[aidan0203]

Here I am again. :)

Gods Eater Burst (ULUS10563), God Eater 2 demo (NPJH90338) and God Eater 2 (NPJH50832) does not show anything in the screen after you load the game. Only the FMV's show up, nothing else. (I know God Eater 2 isn't still playable yet, I just tested it anyway).

I tested some of the previous builds manually and found out the latest working build on buildbot-- v0.9.8-943-gc142207. Builds beyond that show black screens on the games I mentioned above, even with default settings. The emulator is still responding though, sounds are fine, the game reacts to what I press, just the black screen is all.

What is the first build with the problem?

First build that is downloadable from buildbot - v0.9.8-950-g410fc71

So, then, it seems like glClear() is caused things not to be visible for you, but I'm not sure why that would be...

Here is a quick video I made about this issue.

I have an Android tablet with PowerVR SGX 544MP and for me it works fine (tried with 9.8-1119)

The latest build should include some cases where late flushes were fixed. This may improve things, I'm not sure. If not, I assume there are no video driver updates available for your computer?

No, there are no video driver updates available for this laptop's graphics card.
Anyway, latest build that I downloaded, v0.9.8-1146-g89fde3b is still broken to me.
EDIT: I meant v0.9.8-1149-g89bbc90. Sorry

Okay, so I found this out just now. I haven't dig in through the start screen but after I did, I was able to load up a save, and the game showed up like it used to. The only problem now is the start / load screen, and the menus in-game.

It should be like this:

Hm, maybe could try disabling the glClear optimization on PowerVR?

This game working perfect in iPhone 5S Powervr gpu

Maybe is a driver issue.

Fixed in v0.9.8-1406-gd040b98. Thanks @hrydgard .

I think I should close this now.

It's still pretty mysterious, but I'm glad that helped, heh.
