Quoting: x_wingDoes this patch only fix the issue with Proton/DXVK?
Good question. I haven't actually tried the Mesa patch yet since it supposedly caused other glitches. But I assumed it would work in both cases?

For now I just set anti alias to "taa".

I'll wait for the full release and the possible engine upgrade to see if it needs a quirk in Mesa or not.

Penny-pincher sense is tingling - free game!

Kidding aside. I'll call it a winner. This particular mix of fun characters, horror interlaced with humor works well for me.

Also a genre that's new to me. Most of these games seems to be an excuse to ogle scantily clad manga ladies so my eyes sort of glazed over every time I heard "visual novel". Guess I've been overly prejudicial.

I swore I should lay off the Kickstarters, but this one was too hard to resist...

The demo mostly works with Proton. There's a missing news headline so the final puzzle can't be solved without cheating.

Can you test if the lens flares are gone as well? Use different AA settings at night with bloom enabled.
Here's the bug report for the lens flare issue with a couple of patches to try out:

Quoting: Liam DaweThat seems like a typical AMD Mesa issue with Unity, I had no problems with NVIDIA. art of rally had a similar issue, which is fixed in the very latest Mesa drivers. This is also a quick demo of an unfinished game that's still some ways off remember.

Update: tested on an Intel laptop (so Mesa) and not seeing that issue. So it seems it is AMD specific.
FWIW, I filed an issue with Mesa and was informed that it's a game/Unity bug. Uninitialized mipmap levels. Can be worked around by setting AMD_DEBUG=zerovram.

Game dev have been notified.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleYa know, fixing wine so that it can run games better is hot and all, but what's also sexy is companies fixing their games to work better with wine. Example: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1217060
That is good news. I don't really care if a game is native or not, if it's a "true" port or uses some sort of wrapper. What counts is support from the developer.

Not the same bug, but it is specific to Mesa.

That's still a problem with 20.3.0-devel.

I'll try to file a bug with Mesa when I have some time to spare.
