Visibility issues in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

[sirlucidae]

Game: Prince of Persia, The Sands of Time (USA)
Core: LRPS2 v2.0.0-65e8afb
Settings: Integer scaling, fullscreen mode, v-sync on

I wasn't sure what to name this ticket because it's hard to describe in a few words. So far only with this game have I experienced such behavior, where a semi-transparent box appears to be overlayed ontop of the screen, obscuring my view and at times making it impossible to see anything. It looks as if some of the images contained in this layer are menu/UI elements. These attached screenshots might help to explain what I'm seeing...

PS: In case it's relevant or specific to this game (ie. re-producing), I first noticed this issue when I loaded from the second save point, but it's possible some other variables changed in the mean time.

Looks similar to this issue: #119

Do you have the GameIndex.yaml file in place? and/or are you using the latest build of the core? (the GameIndex database should be embedded in the core now, as of the last couple of days, making the separate file not strictly necessary in the latest builds)

Yeah there is a GameIndex.yaml and it matches the current branch version. The core was updated through RetroArch with "Update Installed Cores". I just tried your suggestion from the other report of switching to the ParaLLEl-GS renderer (instead of Auto), and so far in my testing it seems to have solved the problem, thanks for that.
