My screenshot from earlier doesn't look nearly as bad now, but I'm having a similar issue on my dad's laptop. The display is 1080p, and his eyes aren't as good as they once were, so he has the text size turned up. However, if he does this while plugged into an external monitor, text on that monitor becomes blurry as if it's been rendered from a vector font and then scaled to the normal size as a raster image, even though on that screen the text scaling is at 100%. It seems to be much worse if the program is started on the laptop screen and moved to the monitor than if the program is started on the monitor, suggesting it's something to do with not redrawing stuff when it should, but the only proper workaround he's found has been to put the text size back to 100% on the laptop screen, which makes the big monitor usable, but the laptop one nearly useless to him.

Holy crap, cyrax, you just made me realize I've been here for two years

That's a lot of time to spend being a semi-lurker for most of it

I'd probably go back to taking screenshots of games like I used to but I don't know if dolphinfx has been updated to work with the new shader system, and if it hasn't I don't really know what else I could do for shaders. I could always post manually, but that's hardly representative of how the game could look in dolphin, and I was really doing that to try to find the best I could make games look in dolphin on my old hardware.

I should probably check of dolphinfx works now and take some wind waker screenshots, it's been a while. Over a year, now.

That blurriness when using non-standard scaling is driving me crazy too! It was introduced with Windows 8.1 but we could just revert to the Windows 8/7 behaviour, in Windows 10 there's no way to do that. However, I think you can fix the scaling issue on external monitor by right clicking an empty space in your desktop then going into Display settings => advanced display settings => advanced scaling settings => set a custom scaling level. By changing the scale here you should be able to apply the scaling only in the laptop monitor...

Glad I could be a reminder.

That's one of the things we tried, but it blurred (not scaled) the text on the external one for seemingly no reason.

My plan failed horribly; shader compile errors up the butt when trying to launch

oh well

So today was my phone interview for the behavior therapist position....yeah pfff phone interview alright. I stayed sitting in my car for 15mins for them to calll. And if your wondering why in my car its because its the only time I have during my lunch break. See LordVador, this is the type of bull*&%^ that I have to deal with down here, no professionalism, nothing. Not even an email notifying that she may have forgotten! Oh and if you haven't figured it out...yes I am infuriated!

Sorry if I'm rambling, give me some time and I'll cool down....jeez these people!


P.S. Ok she replied back apologizing and to reschedule the interview. (rolls eyes)

so has neobrain abandoned Dolphin altogether? i see he's working on Citra, does he still develop here?

[cyrax33]

Neobrain hasn't been in the forums for a very long time much less any commits, I would say he's busy with Citra.
