Previously the exclusive fullscreen option in the settings screen was
guarded by a compile-time #ifdef VK_EXT_full_screen_exclusive, which is
always true on Windows. It now uses a runtime fullScreenExclusiveSupported
cap derived from whether the extension is actually enabled by the driver.
Switching between borderless and exclusive fullscreen currently requires a
restart. This is because once DWM has claimed the window (any frames
presented), ALLOWED_EXT cannot re-engage exclusive mode on an existing
swapchain. A new process gets a fresh HWND that DWM has not claimed yet,
so ALLOWED_EXT works correctly at startup.
The proper fix is to use VK_FULL_SCREEN_EXCLUSIVE_APPLICATION_CONTROLLED_EXT
with vkAcquireFullScreenExclusiveModeEXT/vkReleaseFullScreenExclusiveModeEXT
to explicitly negotiate exclusive mode with DWM mid-session without needing
a restart. To be done in a follow-up.
This extension is not available on Android, there they have
VK_GOOGLE_display_timing, which they also have an abstraction library
for, so will look at that later.
Early part of work on #17685
Doesn't actually use any of them yet, just making sure enabling them
doesn't cause any weird issues. They will be used for the future display
timing rewrite.
Fixes#17014
Even if our depth-testing-equal heuristic believes that the game needs
lower depth resolution.
This removes some depth-fighting artifacts (that are present on the real
PSP, but nice to avoid) in Outrun, Split/Second and Cars: Race-o-Rama -
essentially reverting these to the behavior we had before the heuristic.
(The heuristic is good though - it means less compat.ini hacks going in
the other direction).
In the case of Outrun, this relies on two passes that pass exactly the
same vertex coordinates twice resulting in the exact same final
geometry. This is actually guaranteed by the spec if the vertex math is
exactly the same and "invariant" is set on the position output, though
I guess you never know.. Haven't seen any issues at least.
Also sneak in disabling some validation messages from using extra Vulkan
validation layers other than the default.
Enabling the EXT_swapchain_colorspace extension lets the driver expose
all the formats it really supports.
Used this to discover that my Galaxy S21 supports Display-P3 which is a wider
gamut than sRGB. Might be able to do some color boosting mode for fun.
Or, use this stuff to play around with HDR?
