Shadows are completely missing in this port. In other 2 games shadows are rendering fine.

I can confirm that all the shadows are missing.

I have also the Switch and PC version. This version is missing the shadows.

I can barely start any of the games because it just keeps on crashing. I've read and followed the read me but nothing has changed or helped the situation

Is the sliding normal whenever you stand still on pretty much any slightly slanted terrain?

On most terrain if I stop controlling the character's movements it will still slowly slide in one direction depending on what looks like a slant on the terrain.

The game actually calculates shadows, saving them to a render target, but the later parts of the pipeline responsible for applying the shadows fetch the wrong (=a blank) render target.

This should be a relatively easy for me to fix, but KT really ought to fix this - it's a one-liner.

1: each time i start the game it resets my options references such as sound volume and skip all or read only. 2: when i reported my first term i lost the pub outfit i was wearing. 3: i had to re-load a previous save because i reported all my progress the day before evaluation. apparently when you have nothing new to report, you can not progress.

Please add the widescreen resolution option to the settings menu. I had to manually edit the .ini configuration file to change the resolution to fit my screen.

It appears any additionally obtained accessories/clothing items beyond those you start off with are deleted from time to time, i think it coincides with the options menu reverting to it's default settings.

No shadows and the game doesn't save system data. What hashmid said.

Shadow mapping is bugged in this game because they are not only using the wrong output resource from the shadow mapping pass, but also because they are relying on undefined behaviour (that only works on the AMD graphics driver) because of a bug in their pixel shader.

After some fun efforts in reversing the HLSL, this is the source code of their shader:
Texture2D<float4> meow : register(t0); SamplerState samp : register(s0); void main( float4 position : SV_Position, float2 uv : TEXCOORD0, float4 oColor : COLOR0, uniform float4 sbias ) { float tex = meow.Sample(samp, uv).w; tex -= sbias.w; if (tex < 0) discard; return; }

This code has no return type (as it is a void type), and on AMD hardware, causes the render target to be set to float4(0, 0, 0, 0), corresponding to shadow. On Intel and NV hardware, the render target is not touched, and remains set to float4(1, 1, 1, 1), corresponding to no shadow.

The proper HLSL for this shader is:
Texture2D<float4> meow : register(t0); SamplerState samp : register(s0); float4 main( float4 position : SV_Position, float2 uv : TEXCOORD0, float4 oColor : COLOR0, uniform float4 sbias ) : SV_Target { float tex = meow.Sample(samp, uv).w; tex -= sbias.w; if (tex < 0) discard; return 0; }

Can you tell me which file you're editing?

Just in case KT never fix these games.

Not editing a file here, this is a pixel shader passed into the graphics API. The workaround I proposed above is really not the right way to do it, as the shadow shader expects a high precision depth map and not a low precision render target (which just says "there's a shadow here" on AMD hardware).

The proper fix is to replace the shadow shader's input to actually use the depth stencil view, which is probably only a few lines of code for KT. To do this via injection is... harder (and something I'd like to get around to eventually).

Playing at windowed 1600x900 resolution, there's a weird sharpening issue. Some of the fonts are jagged, and things look generally low quality. Is there any fix for this? I do have shadows, fortunately, but it's distracting to see the tears in the font when a character is introducing themselves.
