Silier Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hello @FlyingBaguette, In case you have nvidia graphic card, can you try to force the game to use it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingBaguette Posted July 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Thanks for your responses, I am on a laptop using the integrated graphics. (intel hd graphics 620) I also uploaded the system_info file @Stan`(it shows windows 8.1 as the os as I gave compatibility mode a try, to no avail) system_info.txt Edited July 29, 2020 by FlyingBaguette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luttenberger Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 i have the exact same problem since some time. any solutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiley Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) The problem is caused by highdpi screens and how recent Windows versions scale them. Since Windows internally tries to handle application compatibility for highdpi screens, it gives scaled resolutions to SDL2, which is actually severely low. This caused the game graphics to be absolutely @#$%, (for instance, the main menu buttons were stacked etc. for me on my screen). I noticed this when I switched from Linux to Windows. Interestingly there were no green glitches at the time. And then there was an update within the year 2020, (I can't be sure if it was Intel or Windows, since I did both at the same time), that resulted in this atrocity. I have reason to believe the actual glitches come from within Intel drivers because the game resolution is so much lower than the native one. I spent like two whole days trying to figure this out. I really wish I had seen this thread earlier, this information would have really helped me when I was randomly reading SDL2 docs and ancient SDL forum threads. There are 2 solutions, 1) Specify exclusive fullscreen (the oldschool kind literally nothing uses anymore because its drawbacks outweigh the benefits). 2) Specify awareness in the binaries which stops Windows from meddling with the resolution by scaling them or whatever, which means SDL2 can actually know the true resolution and draw the game using the true native resolution. #2 is what MS itself recommends. Unfortunately, both of these solutions require WFG devs and as an end user there really is not much you can do other than wait for A24 which hopefully will have this fix. Or apply this metaphorical english patch yourself I guess. Edited August 22, 2020 by smiley 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you press F2 (it takes screenshot from the internal renderer) and press Print Screen (it takes screenshot from the game) and post both pictures here? 9 hours ago, smiley said: Unfortunately, both of these solutions require WFG devs and as an end user there really is not much you can do other than wait for A24 which hopefully will have this fix. Or apply this metaphorical english patch yourself I guess. If I understood you correctly you say that user can't fix awareness. But actually user can for Windows 10 and iirc Windows 8.1 and it does work. You need to open executable settings and customize the DPI settings. Then you need to add the gui.scale setting to user.cfg with a value multiple of 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Can you locate pyrogenesis.exe should be in appdata ? Then right click properties and disable scaling ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiley Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Most likely you made a mistake when changing the settings, regardless, maybe this executable will fix it for you. The binaries are from svn rP21936. Copy this file and replace the one you already have. pyrogenesis.exe Edited August 30, 2020 by smiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
