(I) Fix(ed)-it Felix Wrapper
MydknyteStyrm:
Hi everyone,
I recently updated my computer and I was setting up my Felix game. I am getting strange lines around the text and characters when I load it up that I never had before. It looks like thin lines around text and Wreck it Ralph. Sometimes when I change the Bezel percentage it goes away, but I cant seem to lock down on anything. Any ideas?
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Nvidia GeForce 650Ti
intel i5 4670k Quad

We would need a snapshot to be certain, but it sounds like it's just scaling badly. Strange artifacts are usually a symptom of scaling to a non-integer scale. If you can post some pics maybe I can confirm, but as of now I'm unsure how to fix something like that without more info.

Here's what I'm seeing. Thanks for the help so far

I'm a little ill right now, but I'll do my best.
Notice where it seems to draw a line where the end of the texture block is? That is typically a scaling problem. The solution, unfortunately isn't always clear cut. There is a long-standing error in d3d that can cause similar errors in certain scaling situations. It has to do with rounding errors during the blending process so the first thing you might want to try is to ensure anti-aliasing and all of that stuff is turned off in your video card settings. If that doesn't work then it could be the game itself and it's crude scaling not liking your monitor resolution. Play with the bezel settings as you mentioned before. You can probably get away with an imperceptible scale change and it'll be just enough as the errors seem to only be one pixel high. You can also change the desktop resolution prior to launch of course... that might help as well.
Now all of that being said, I have also seen similar render errors on an old ati card. The problem was a combination of being underpowered (needed a bigger power supply) and having wonky drivers. How it would do me is the first thing loaded would have render errors. If I exited the game and started it up again, the errors would be gone. If the artifacts you are seeing are intermittent like that then it's probably a video card issue.
Thanks for the distraction man... I really needed it today.

Sorry to hear you're under the weather. I have another distraction for you. Yes, you were right, the anti-aliasing on my Nvidia was ON, so turned it off and voila, no artifacts. The issue I have now is with your latest updated FIFJ, I cant seem to get the game to center top to bottom on my screen. My monitor is set at 1360x768. About two versions ago I had no issues whatsoever, but now I cant seem to change this (see pic)
The game is centered, but smaller than my window. It used to be able to block the white in the middle from top to bottom. I changed the ms from 50 to 200, but nothing seems to be doing it. I also noticed that if I change the cfg. file instead of using the settings.exe, the changes stay put. Any ideas? Take your time to reply, if the Nyquil hasnt knocked you out yet. Not the end of the world if I dont get it running today. Thanks again!
