GameDB: Adds SkipDraw ranges to 'Tales of the Abyss' #6074
Conversation
This aims to correct the graphical issues introduced by the use of Upscaling and half-pixel Special (Texture) in Tataroo Valley, Engave, Keterburg, Keterburg bay, and outside the castle in Baticul. This does introduce a minor graphical glitch in the Desert Oasis, but should be an acceptable compromise for everything else it corrects

Not sure if this is still an issue with current Skipdraw settings, but in the past when using Skipdraw in TotA, it caused everything in the game to become dark, forcing you to increase brightness to the max. (And as a result this also affected the GUI + Cutscenes, becoming overly bright). |
From what I tested, it does randomly cause some areas to become darker when loaded for the first time using manual hacks. Once loaded it doesn't seem to cause any further instances for me, but may warrant more in-depth testing to be sure |
That is very aggressive |

Not in favor adding these since they are upscaling issues. |
I tried lower values than the ones suggested on the game's wiki page, but it doesn't seem to correct the issues that this range seems to fix. It makes Engave playable without needing to drop to Native resolution and fixes some of the blur in Tataroo Valley which Half-Pixel Special (Texture) seems to introduce there. I have noted that using an end of 354 corrects the visual issue it introduces in Desert Oasis, but breaks it everywhere else |

I will close this as it's not a good idea to add skipdraw for upscaling issues, this will break native res from looking proper. |
