DPI can only affect the content within a game window, if it is set to just that - a window, using flip mode in d3d12 shouldn't be affected, borderless window mode in d3d11 would be.

It turns out that what we believed to be fog, that's not fog... It just looks like fog. I checked out Sin with DX8 and DX9 level renderer (through dgVoodoo) and debugged the shaders for a problematic part. The calculated fog values were the same with both DX8/9 levels… Also, in both cases the …

What? I've just said that maybe it's the fix already implemented for the fog in Source engine games (like SiN Emergence, you can see the issue in the first level) that is causing the issue. Ignore this guy, its just some random know it all clown that isn't willing to learn. This issue occurs on …

you didn't understand anything. In some games this solves launch\working issues. You can think abstractly as much as you like without relying on facts and test results when it just works. Theres no games that instantly break because of too many cores, theres a few that sporadically break down when …

This is an ongoing driver problem on AMD's side, PAL is using excessive memory that causes address space exhaustion too early.

I have figured it out. The issue was indeed the number of cores. I used Special K tool to spoof the number of cores - now the game thinks there's only 2 and runs like a charm! Case closed! i'm guessing you found a no-cd crack for this, the legitimate protected exe will abort on trying to start with …

OP is in no way responsible for the graphical capabilities of D3D9On12 . His library is just a hundred lines of code to force that. I guess an advantage is that it's all open source? Somewhat like dxup , except this is actually still getting developed. I cannot vouch for features then, but at least …
