#1572 r5515 breaks Mario Kart

[toxic shadow]

Commit 5515 breaks the second (lower) screen when playing mario kart.

_cpu_mode = 1
engine_3d = 2

When rendering text (scoreboard etc) it is blank and when it is rendering a 3d scene the lower screen flickers heavily.

Reverting to 5514 resolves the issue.

Not according to my tests. Moreover, that doesn't really make sense. Try cleaning.

just tried a complete new build. Deleted source an redownloaded.
Deleted all config files.

Same problem. Even when leaving _cpu_mode and engine_3d as default.

You dont see the issue at the start. I get the issue in the following places:

when selecting a kart.
when selecting a map.
Heavy flickering at the start of a race.
No character faces shown on the map during a race.

If you are unable to replicate i will try to create a video.

I am using GTK build, built with GCC 6. Maybe GCC 6 is optimising something.

Fixed in [r5516].

Please confirm that [r5516] resolves your issue.

Note: Unrelated to this bug, could you check the last comment in bug 1570. A cast was put in the wrong place. Should have been insde the brackets next to the abs. Once that is done it should be possible to close it.

Thanks.
