You should use 1920x1080.

Thanks, that made it work!

I just don't understand why I'm getting 100% capped framerate at 30fps... like, it doesn't dip. It's perfectly still at 30fps... must mean I'm doing something wrong right? I have the energy save thingy on, both from the control panel and the Nvidia settings.

What else can I do? I mean, if my computer can't handle 60fps, at least it should dip back and forth and not stay stable at 30 right?

Hmm that's odd - but everyone else who's running Durante mod is getting 60fps so why can't I?

I turned of V-sync from the Nvidia settings and it's still 30fps cap, perfectly stable...

If you're sure it's not your computer's limitations then yeah not sure... What was your fps without the fix on?

Okay so if I turn off the SMAA it still looks pretty damn good but I get a good amount of frames back. However, I also have the issue where the story summary scrolling text while loading first appears, then blacks out all but the top left corner. Then in the opening area that same box of the top left corner looks normal, but casting in a gradient out from it looks like a big light bloom.

For some reason the screenshot button I set isn't working so I can't take pics of this.

Is it possible to use GoDeSaTo to render the game at the native res of my monitor? I set the RenderResolution to 2560x1440 (my monitor) but the game comes out all jaggy (not aliased poly edges but more like the screen is being downsampled even though it doesnt need to be).

Everyone has that stuttering. Durante even mentions it in his post about the game, it has to do with the way the game buffers. Not sure if he can even do anything about it.

Very annoying.

Okay I took some screenshots to show the weird corner box thing.

Also I guess my game is running a beautiful 30fps too.

Text scroll screen
Weird Box/Bloom 1
Weird Box/Bloom 2

You see it has cascading panels that move around. If you turn the camera the right way it seems to disappear.

Minimal effect

Yet it is actually still there...

Do any nVidia people get this or is it an AMD issue?

I finally caved in and got GeDoSaTo compiling a while ago and started looking into this. Still have to get a bit more familiar with your code base but it looks very clean, so well done!

I've redirected the scissorRect which was easy to do and it solved the menu issues. This seems to work fine on my end but there are a couple of other issues still apparent that I'll take a look at tomorrow or something as it's nearly 3AM here now.
To play with the menu fixes, download this dll and place it in your GeDoSaTo folder.
