VFX behind refractive material renders incorrectly as black and glitchy

[mellow haven]

I have a vfx graph effect that draws opaque meshes. When viewed through a refractive material, the particles are rendered incorrectly. Any ideas as to why this might be happening? I'm on Windows using Direct3D 12

This is the vfx graph output settings

The issue is fixed if I change the vfx graph shader to be transparent. Not sure why, and I do want them to be opaque

Huh that seems backwards. I'd expect you're using the opaque scene color node which shouldnt work with transparents

I would try just doing a simple screen position + scene color and see if you can draw above it
