[BLUS31426] Minecraft PlayStation 3 Edition - Flickering Graphics

[alexconsole04]

Quick summary

Minecraft on latest versions has an issue regarding flickering graphics that can happen at random when exploring worlds.

Details

In Minecraft, when going into a world, the graphics can sometimes start to flicker tiny parts of blocks, presumably from the existing loaded chunks. This can happen on regular worlds, but this is very easy to replicate on the tutorial world. The video below showcases the issue in action.

I have tried various settings including Strict Rendering Mode, buffers and nothing seemed to have fixed it. The log is only using default settings.

This only happens on latest version (ranging from 1.78 to 1.84) and only occurs on Vulkan. OpenGL does not have this issue.

Need information: What build introduced the issue, assuming it's a regression

Can't pin point what exact build introduced this issue, but I believe this is a regression as before this wasn't an issue on vulkan. I would need to find the build that could've potentially introduced the issue.

[alexconsole04]

With the help of other members, we have pinpointed the RPCS3 version that introduced this issue. That being PR 10938

Here are logs from both builds.
