Bug Description

​I am experiencing a severe graphical glitch in Tenchu: Return from Darkness (Xbox) where flame effects and fire particles flicker aggressively in orange.

The flickering occurs whenever fire or flame effects are on screen (e.g., torches, burning buildings). It looks like an arithmetic overflow or a shader blending issue unique to the RTX 50-series.

Expected Behavior

No flickering
