4B4D07FD - Risen 3: Titan Lords

[Sowa95]

Validation

• I've read the FAQ.
• The Xenia build used is from a Canary branch. (not UWP/MLBS/AlexVS/master/pull requests, etc)
• This issue isn't for help (tech support) with Xenia, or a game.
• I've checked if this game doesn't already have a compatibility report.

Xenia Canary version

xenia-canary/xenia-canary@fbad66e

Issues

• guest crash when loading to gameplay, not an issue on Netplay branch.
• broken collision if CPU supports AVX-512 instruction set, disable AVX-512 in BIOS.
• requires readback_resolve to correct lighting in certain areas and eliminate blocky artifacts in top half of the screen.
• camera rotation speed tied to FPS.
• runs at unlimited FPS by default.

Scribble_heap can be used as an alternative to readback_resolve - not as accurate as RR, and it won't get rid of blocky artifacts, but it is faster.

AVX-512 workarounds

• disable AVX512 in BIOS.
• enable disable_context_promotion, which could present other issues (needs testing) and will reduce general performance.
• use Xenia Master with x64_extension_mask = 0, unfortunately this setting is not functional on Canary,
  at least for AVX-512.
