Graphical anomalies. Driver issues or game bugs?

[Thor Hafsgaard]

Hi there.

First off, thank you for an amazing mod.

I have spotted two issue in Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion.

Issue #1 - Lava and forges exhibit some peculiarity. https://youtu.be/GtjH0z8WVFg

The map above is ravdm5.

Issue #2 - Certain textures flicker a lot. https://youtu.be/Vq8zvjBE8us

The issues in the videos are from my Radeon RX 6800. I have tested on an RTX 3070 and here the lava issue is also present, but in a different way. Still, could it be a driver issue despite this?

The flickering textures was observed with both cards. I'd be happy to help with anything you need to troubleshoot it.

Regards, Thor

Thanks!

Lava is problematic at places. Opengl might probably tweaked better, but not sure and never tried hard for it.

Issue #2 - Certain textures flicker a lot. https://youtu.be/Vq8zvjBE8us

That seems to be the infamous z-fighting issue present in many maps: issue is a just content issue because of the engine's software renderer origin, not a driver or engine issue. Some few of them had been fixed by replacement entity files. That particular one, nothing to do about it as far as I can see.

Ah okay. Thank you for a quick reply. I haven't made a bug report regarding issue #1, but I can make one if you'd like me to. Cheers.

I haven't made a bug report regarding issue #1,

I think it's a known issue - found this old bug report https://sourceforge.net/p/uhexen2/bugs/67/

Thanks for the reports though, I may get back to it as time permits.
