[d3d9] SpellForce 2: Faith in Destiny - Water tiles momentarily appear black when walked on by units.
Fixed !
This game should work better than native or WineD3D now, there's actually a missing splashy effect there because the game binds a 2D texture to a 3D (volume) sampler which causes the readback to be 0 0 0 0 on native, whereas we can workaround it and see the intended texture and cool refracty effect that would have rendered on older real hardware :clap:
Thanks. I can confirm that the issue is fixed by applying forceSamplerTypeSpecConstants and that we can now see the small circles emanating from the unit position as they move through water.

SpellForce 2 has a bunch of other spin-off titles. I'll make sure to verify if those are also affected by this so I can provide you with a full executable list.

I've checked SpellForce 2 - Anniversary Edition, which uses a slightly revamped SpellForce 2 engine (the latest, as far as I'm aware), and the black tiles over water issue is present there as well. I think the override should match SpellForce2.*\.exe (assuming I got the regex right).
Hey @Joshua-Ashton,
I've confirmed the issue affects 2 other Spellforce 2 titles. Spellforce 2 - Anniversary Edition (As mentioned by @WinterSnowfall) as well as Spellforce 2 - Demons of the Past is also affect. The regex above should cover all 3. I've however not been able to confirm if the issues occurs in the Editors as they require require vulkan child window rendering support.
Full executable list:
SpellForce2.exe
SpellForce2DemonsofthePast.exe
SpellForce2FaithInDestiny.exe
SpellForce2DemonsofthePastEditor.exe
