What sense is there to disable the z-buffer?

I would say that it's preferable to keep z-buffer enabled even though it causes a few issues. Without z-buffer, we'll have textures clipping and objects appearing through walls.

That's what I mean – IMO it should always be enabled; can you list the issues that come with enabling the z-buffer?

Yes, of course. 👍

• Dropped flares end up beneath the surface (#93)
• Water animated texture is visible on the interior floor of the boat (#96)
• Some disc sparks are not visible (Link)
• Wall light fixture have z-fighting with the wall (Link)

These are the issues I know of when z-buffer is enabled, but I'll make sure to add to the list if I see anything else.

That's so weird! I thought it was about having it disabled. Wow.

My hunch is this list will potentially be quite long.

Why is it not as much an issue in TR1?
