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

Here's the dump.

This issue is back #5001 @unknownbrackets

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?

-[Unknown]

(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.

Confirm fixed by 067f45d

I confirm, it works well!! 😃👍

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).

This is on a Retroid Pocket 3+ with these system specs...............

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.

Yes, I confirm that it fails again.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 plus exynos. Android 12. ppsspp-v1.14.1-9-gf65a8aa74-android

I will look into this.

Safe to tag as MALI GPU issue only?

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.
