Flickering

Closed this issue · 9 comments

If you are playing in other languages the item subtitles are flickering.

I wasn't able to replicate the issue yet.

I suspect this is caused due to the fact that internally, the game runs at double the reported framerate with every odd "frame" being used for rendering and every even "frame" being used for synchronization.

The FPS unlocker completely removes the synchronization frames and makes every frame a rendering frame. Maybe the subtitles still rely on this fact and it causes them to only render every other frame.

Thanks for providing the footage. Have you tried it with English subtitles as well?

This is the item subtitles not the voice subtitles. English language hasn't got it. (in this case the german replaced with hungarian)

I can confirm that this issue happens when using the German language option. This doesn't happen with the English subs. Strange.

Ok, I understand a bit better what is going on now. With "item subtitles" the game tries to draw a black rectangle behind the text, but something fails, causing it to be a different size every frame.

I have identified the issue to be a bug with resolution enforcement. As a temporary fix, you can disable it.

  1. Open the config file lanvp.ini inside the game folder in notepad.
  2. Scroll to the bottom and find the option force_resolution
  3. Replace everything after the equals sign with a 0. It should look like this: force_resolution=0
  4. Save the file and restart the game.

I will look for a better method of resolution enforcement and publish a fix in the next version.

EDIT: In relation to this, I found another issue with the interface not scaling properly on non 16:9 aspect ratios. That will be also addressed.

Alright. Thank you for the help.

The issue has been resolved in the latest release (v1.1).
