Yes this is a regression, I can reproduce this issue both opengl and vulkan in my phone rn9.

This issue is back #5001 @unknownbrackets

unknownbrackets added a commit to unknownbrackets/ppsspp that referenced this issue Oct 23, 2021
Previously had been disabled when cullDistance/clipDistnance were
unsupported, but it's still helpful without those.  See hrydgard#15049.

Sorry, have had spotty time recently and really screwed up that conditional. Restored range culling for Mali and other devices that don't support shader culling. Is it working now?

(also my fault for screwing up the review of the check...)

Will work on a geometry shader solution for Mali soon, we'll see if it performs well enough to enable generically.

Hi Developers,
Seems this games banding problem is back from 1.14.04 - Happens on Vulkan or Open GL es - (Please note this doesn't happen on the Windows build, Vulkan etc etc).

Are you sure you're using v1.14.0? Is this with software transform on or off? Does it change anything?

You said it did and did not happen on Vulkan, maybe you meant it doesn't happen on Windows + Vulkan.

No sorry Unknown, i meant this seems to be only a problem on Android, using that version 1.14.0.

Did you enable geometry culling in graphics setting?

Geometry-shader culling should not be needed for this issue, the vertes-shader based range culling should be enough.

Hi sorry, i was a bit busy, but no culling is on, just trying 1.14.1-8 to see if any change.
Nope no luck, same problem guys, banding is still there.

I cannot reproduce this issue in my vivo y11 vulkan backend and I also notice that this game performance is decrease.

Safe to tag as MALI GPU issue only?

@hrydgard

I believe what's happening is that we now prefer the geometry shader path to fix this on Mali, but if that's turned off, we just don't do anything, instead of using the vertex shader method. Should be easy to fix.

About the performance skip gpu readbacks should be on.

Thanks guys, this now runs perfect again, using Android 11 on my Retroid Pocket 3+ with its annoying Mali GPU, but somehow runs this game at 2 x texture upscaled, plus 2 x hardware scaled, and plays at a solid 40 fps.
Fantastic emulator, on this awesome handheld, for its price.

This is occuring in the latest version of PPSSPP for Toca Racer 2 and 3 for the RetroPie 4.X. Is there a setting in the lr-ppsspp or the standalone ppsspp that should be changed to fix this guardband glitch?

Did you turn on the speedhack "Disable culling"?

Well then turn it off. It's not compatible with this game
