WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006 2D Crowds flickering in OpenGL

[Panderner]

There's a bug in WWE SvR 2006 where the 2d crowds are flickering in OpenGL.

Hm, you don't need to make a new issue, we already have #13797.

[Panderner]

but it's different issue in vulkan the entire screen flickers

[hrydgard]

Oh, sorry, you are right. Might be related but I'll reopen.

@Panderner You need make a frame dump to let @hrydgard debug

Here's a GE Dump:

Did this start happening recently? If you try the builds in #13941 (click Checks tab -> Artifacts in top right -> download whichever you want), does it still happen?

If not, does this happen with default settings (including block transfer on, buffered rendering on, vertex cache off, etc.?)

Since it's flickering, can you take a pair for framedumps, one where the audience is visible, and one where it's not? Might need to compare things.

Anyway, leaning towards bumping this to 1.12.

No flickering using your ge dump 🤔

No feedback @Panderner

Can you test this game instead of GE Dump?

This game is super lag on my Redmi Note 9 using OpenGL backend with lots of graphics flickering while on Vulkan the game is smooth but also have a dark overlay flickering.

@Gamemulatorer can you please check your frame rate?

In PPSSPP v1.0 this game is smooth on OpenGL backend with less graphics issue

Did you mean the latest builds? You're using older version of PPSSPP. @Gamemulatorer
