Water animation bug

[plzdonttrack]

The water found at the beginning of the game, just as the player takes control of Reks, does not animate properly while the program is active. The wave animation will repeatably freeze on a single frame of animation for long periods of time.

Tested with FOV at 45, and FPS at 90. All other options default.

Thank you for the report. I will check to see if this is alike in other areas with water.
Have you tried it with the fps limit being 60 fps? If so, what is the result?

[plzdonttrack]

Same effect applies to 60 and 120 FPS as well. I should note that it may take a few seconds after opening the program for the animation bug to occur.

I'm examining this issue now. I'll update you on my findings.

I found the issue.
This happens when I am scaling the global time to be relative to your frametime.
Setting the global time scale < 1 causes the animation to become delayed and choppy.
Furthermore, exiting the scene and coming back results in a corrupt texture

I think the water animation casts the global time as an int and divides it, rounding down (I think it's dividing by 0).
Also note that setting the time scale above 1 again does not fix the problem; when it's broke, you must reload a save.

Edit: I've confirmed that other water, such as the water near south bank is not effected by this. I wonder if there are any other similar assets?

I found a similar issue in the sandsea, where the animation for the sandsea resets a bunch (but still plays)
Is the discoloration on top a corrupt texture, I wonder? I'll confirm this later.

The water in Jahara does not seem to be effected by this as well.

This was indirectly fixed with the bruteforce fix introduced in Update 5, which was introduced to help minimize issues #19 and #18.
This issue is only slightly fixed, and therefore will remain open.

This issues persists in the new update, however it now never produces the glitched artifacts.
