We now differentiate between a resize event and surface change/destroyed
event, reducing the overhead for resizes in the Vulkan backend. It is
also now now safe to change the surface multiple times if the video thread
is lagging behind.
This stops the virtual method call from within the Renderer constructor.
The initialization here for GL had to be moved to VideoBackend, as the
Renderer constructor will not have been executed before the value is
required.
This is needed because for some reason the WSI for NV Vulkan drivers
doesn't return VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR, so there is no other way to know
that a resize has occured apart from polling, which is a poor solution for
X11 (since it is blocking).
This was relying on behaviour that GLExtensions was adding fake extensions to the supported list with ES.
This no longer happens so it needed to be changed.
It was only implemented in OpenGL, though the option was visible in both
backends, leading to memory leaks if you enabled it in DirectX.
And it wasn't particularly useful as a debug feature as it only showed
where in the EFB the copies were taken from, not what format it was, or
what the copy was used for, or what content was in the EFB at that point
in time.
Also, it stretched the copy regions relative to the window, so the
on-screen regions don't even line up with the window unless the game used
the full EFB (some pal games) and you game image stretched to the full
window.
SSAA relies on MSAA being active to work. We only supports 4x SSAA while in fact you can enable SSAA at any MSAA level.
I even managed to run 64xMSAA + SSAA on my Quadro which made some pretty sleek looking games. They were very cinematic though.
With this, it properly fixes up SSAA and MSAA support in GLES as well. Before they were broken when stereo rendering was enabled.
Now in GLES they can properly support MSAA and also stereo rendering with MSAA enabled(with proper extensions).
OpenGL ES 3.2 adds this feature to core
It was available to GLES 3.1 as GL_{EXT, OES}_texture_buffer as well.
For the non-Nvidia vendors that implemented this is:
- Qualcomm's Adreno 4xx
- IMGTec's PowerVR Rogue
OpenGL ES 3.2 adds a few things we care about supporting in core. In particular:
- GL_{ARB,EXT,OES}_draw_elements_base_vertex
- KHR_Debug
- Sample Shading
- GL_{ARB,EXT,OES,NV}_copy_image
- Geometry shaders
- Geometry shader instancing (If they support GL_{EXT,OES}_geometry_point_size)
Nvidia was the first to release an OpenGL ES 3.2 driver which I uesd to test this on.
This also enables GS Instancing on GLES 3.1 hardware if it supports all of the required extensions.
