Title: Retroarch not returning to desktop resolution
Post by: sozuke on March 22, 2021, 04:17:03 pm

Hi guys!

I've got an R9 380 with CRT emudriver 2.0 beta 15 through SCART on a PAL TV that does NTSC as well. Ised "Generic 15.7" setting when installing. Some times when I quit Retroarch the desktop resolution (640x480) doesn't return, instead I get a squished screen that seems like it's still using the super resolution that the game I played was running at. When I check the display setting I can confirm this. Changing back to 480 makes things look normal again. It only happens some times, seems random to me.

I've attatched a screenshot (which also looks stretched, though it's taken with my phone, maybe I'm cursed :lol) Any idea what's happening?

Thanks!

this issue is present in retroarch since ever. I had to place a shortcut icon on my desktop for me to switch back to 720x576i resolution. sometimes it happens in a row several times. sometimes works. I use close content and then quit retroarch option from the menu.

I use retroarch through attract mode/rocketlauncher which resets the resolution after playing a game

Thanks guys!

I use Launchbox, but that doesn't seem to help. What's different with Rocketlauncher/Attract mode?

And also, maybe it would be possible to create an autohotkey-script or batch file or something that set resplution to 480i when quitting...
