PVRX2 Fonts look terrible

[blackpaw]

The Fonts in my PVRX2 look terrible - too thick and all blocky. Also I get a lot of vertical bars and garbled display in the general display. Have tried with VRM9 and EVR. GBPVR looks fine.

However this is just my test PC with a onboard Intel video chip - could this be the problem? My real PC will have an NVIDA 5200

Which is best - Vrm9 or EVR?

Can you post a (fullsize) screenshot so we can see what you mean?

What resolution are you running?

Is this fullscreen or windowed mode? Its rendered internally for the fullscreen resolution, and scaling to a smaller window can look average depending on how your video card does its scaling.

GBPVR looks fine.

Thats funny - we usually hear the opposite comment. GBPVR.exe always rendered for a low 720x480 resolution, which could lead in some really ugly results when it was stretched to fill the users screen (fuzzy or soft edges, or blocky edges)

[blackpaw]

Both (fullscreen/windowed).

Actually I wouldn't say GBPVR was perfect but it looked a lot better thn PVRX2.

Files attached,

Sub, unless you want to track this down yourself, don't worry about it - my PC with the nvida card looks perfect.

However if you want info anyway, can help out with whatever is needed.

Thanks, Lindsay

What resolution are you running your desktop at?

[blackpaw]

LCD at its native resolution - 1280x1024x32. DPI=96

Can you start the app then zip and attach the pvrx2.exe.log and pvrx2.exe-native.log files?

[blackpaw]

Done - attached.

Could it be an issue of me missing fonts? not that I should be - Std XP Pro SP2 etc.

Just to reiterate - don't bother following up on this issue if its just to fix my problem - its only a test pc anyway. But I assume you want to know why ...

Thanks - Lindsay

Do you have dual monitors, with one of then running at 720x576? It looks like its running at this resolution.

[blackpaw]

Nope, but double checked the adapter settings - definitely nothing set up.

Its onboard video - SiS 661FX, not capable of dual monitor display.
