Ppsspp: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Predator Unable to enter user name

When I arrive at this point and I want to create a new game, it is impossible to write because the FPS go down a lot. I want to choose a letter and it quickly goes to another letter.

I had to put a name at random. Lol!!

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Oreo 8.0.0 Exynos.
ppsspp-v1.8.0-219-g33c53eebe-android.apk
To play I use a Dual Shock 4.

It would help to know if this happens on other devices (such as a PC.) It could be that it triggers some performance issue, or it could just be some timing thing.

Also the game is too bright even if I enable the "Lower Resolution For Effects" in hack setting 🤔

Tested in latest Windows Build. Same keyboard error:

Also I have the same brightness error:

Software render looks fine:

I assume this must mean the game is calling sceUtilityOskUpdate in a tight loop. It might help to add an HLE delay, or maybe it should actually be doing a frame delay.

It'd be very interesting to know if a real PSP is faster here than most other games...

@Drasikk Please do not close the issues when it's not fixed.

[Panderner]

Same happens on latest build

[Panderner]

Here's a log when I trigger the osk during starting the game

user_main    E[SCEKERNEL]: Util/BlockAllocator.cpp:62 Clearly bogus size: 00000000 - failing allocation

@Drasikk please reopen

[Panderner]

@hrydgard why is this issue keep closed? It's not yet fixed.

[hrydgard]

I didn't close it, it's not supposed to be closed.

[Gamemulatorer]

@Drasikk please reopen

Why @Drasikk turn to @ghost 😶

[hrydgard]

He presumably deleted his account.

[Panderner]

@Drasikk please reopen

Why @Drasikk turn to @ghost

The reason, someone in GitHub turn into the @ghost when the accounts are deleted, banned from GitHub or some repositories.

I think the keyboard issue has been solve by using native keyboard in android? see #12696

The remaining issue is the brightness error?

[unknownbrackets]

Even if the native keyboard is an option, I don't think that makes it solved. It's not the default option (and I don't think it should be, since password entry etc. would be broken by that in many games.)

If brightness only happens when slow effects are disabled then it's just a side effect of that hack, not a bug.

@unknownbrackets atleast we can enter our username using native keyboard thanks for that 😉

About the brightness error disable slower effect has no effects in this game enable/disable using my phone.

Brightness error still present in the latest git using default settings of ppsspp

But when hack settings set to lower resolution for effects (aggressive) brightness error is fixed.

phone specs

Android 6.0.1

@unknownbrackets why brightness error disappear if I exit and return to ppsspp?

If it's true that the brightness error related to disable slower effects? so it's better to remove that option 🤔

[unknownbrackets]

Well, doing that will delete and recreate all framebuffers. It likely means that we have a framebuffer that is old, but we don't realize it's old, and we haven't detected that the game tried to modify it directly through RAM.
