Steps to reproduce.

1. Start a new game.
2. Complete the intro tutorial mission (Note there is another camera bug where combat ghost can only be hit while it is standing near the railing over the doorway. In the normal game, it can be hit anywhere in the room.)
3. Start night 1, enter the fireplace room, head upstairs and try and use the doorway.
4. Walk back downstairs, a cutscene will play directing you to take a picture of the folding divider.
5. Attempt to take the picture of it, the camera does not light up.

Capturing some discussion from Discord: it appears that this is more than just a rendering issue, pressing the right trigger does not trigger the expected action even when aiming at a target that is expected to work.

yeah that's right it doesn't work at all, and it seems to happen in both 1 and 2, but we can't test 2 because we can't even get past the title screen

The blue ring works but only flash for 2 frames then stop working until you but the camera away.

managed to get through the door but took a few tries

[Posey999]

the title's a Little Misleading considering some Blue Rings do appear in certain photo spots

[Posey999]

Also doesn't work

[s2r222]

This appears to have been resolved as of version v0.8.62. All the capture circles are appearing as they would on normal hardware so far halfway into night 1. Will be testing the rest of the game tomorrow to see if any other issues come up.

[s2r222]

During my testing, I discovered that if you are using the Microsoft provided video drives for AMD video cards (Currently version 32.0.13031.2000), the blue circle does not appear.

However if you install the latest AMD driver from AMD themselves (Current version 32.0.21001.9024) The circles will appear. So the version of video drivers you have installed do matter.

This bug only affects nivda Gpus

This does not only affect nvidia GPUs. On the Steam Deck (which uses AMD), it also does not work as of 0.8.71 (tested both openGL and vulkan backends).

This bug isn't reproducible on my AMD RX 6600 GPU drivers 25.6.1. I'm on Windows 11 24H2.
I tested it using the latest Xemu release 0.8.71.

Bug reproduced v0.8.94 with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 driver 32.0.14.7652 on Windows 11 24H2 with OpenGL and Vulkan backends.
