Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Soul Hackers 2
  • Steam AppID of the game: 1777620

System Information

I confirm:

  • that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Certain spell effects, textures, and other such things are missing, Ringo's blade slash outside of combat being the easiest to test and see. Other people have also reported issues with fullscreen, but that's outside the purview of this report.

steam-1777620.log

Reproduction

Load the game, start a new file, and play through until you reach a scene where it's suppose to be raining (shown here). There will be water dripping down the screen, but no raindrops (shown here). A more obvious example would be a cutscene not much later where there should be triangles floating across the screen (shown here), but there won't be on Proton (shown here).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing effects in Soul Hackers 2 using the rain scene and floating-triangles cutscene described in the report. Inspect steam-1777620.log alongside the Proton Experimental run and compare the affected rendering behavior with the linked reference images. Done means the reported spell effects, textures, and scene particles render correctly.
