This is a game bug, but I can work around it.
It's entirely stupid. The game locks mip 1 then unlocks mip 0 and expects it to upload -- so then when it renders it does mip filtering between 0 and 1 and 1 hasn't been uploaded which makes this funny transparent catgirl.
Should be fixed now!
Hi @Joshua-Ashton,
I retested on Vol.0 (since you have that game) and the issue is fixed by d39cf31 / b658cae however fa988be appears to break it again to a lesser extent:
| fa988be | b658cae | WineD3D |
|---|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
Overall transparency is much lower with fa988be, when characters tilt their heads some transparent layering effects can also be seen.

This was tested on Proton 5.0-8-RC1 w/ DXVK Build [#1311](https://git.froggi.es/doitsujin/dxvk/-/jobs/1311) and [#1310](https://git.froggi.es/doitsujin/dxvk/-/jobs/1310)
Could you try it with my branch: https://github.com/K0bin/dxvk/tree/mark-dirty-in-lock?
EDIT: nevermind, this code has been merged to master.
I confirmed that all 3 Nekopara titles (Vol. 0, 1, 2) are now displaying correctly when using DXVK master (291f7e0).
Closing... Thanks.
(Sorry for the delay I was on vacation this past week.)

Are they still broken or did you mean to write 'are now displaying correctly'?
@K0bin Yeah, sorry that was a typo. They are indeed rendering correctly. I'll edit my comment to make the correction. Thanks.

Description:
This was reported by a user on the Proton Issue Tracker: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/180#issuecomment-611259828
In NEKOPARA Vol. 0, 1, 2 (385800, 333600, 420110) non-static character models (E-mote) are partially or completely transparent.
This issue occurs on both Proton 5.0-7 and Windows using DXVK 1.7 or master (5558460). Issue is not present on WineD3D or Native Windows D3D. The issue however appears when replaying a Native Windows D3D apitrace in qapitrace on Windows.
Please let me know if any additional information is required or if additional testing is needed.
