Title: Need to install modes every time restart to Windows desktop
Post by: punkysuen on January 11, 2022, 12:59:22 am

Specs:
i5-2400, R7 260X, Windows 10 Professional 64-bit

I installed crt_emudriver, enable EDID emulation on VGA, and connected to CRT through RGBHV (HV combined by T-shape adapter).
Everything works fine, except modelines disappear every time I restart Windows.
If I do turn off instead of restart the computer, everything is normal for the next time I boot it.

Any advice?
Thanks!

I've never seen this issue, sorry. How do you check that the modelines have actually disappeared? Arcade OSD?

Yes, I check by Arcade OSD.
I have tried disable EDID emulation and re-install the driver 18.5.1 several times, but the problem remains.
Eventually, I solved the problem by the following tries:
1. Uninstall driver 18.5.1
2. Install driver 16.2.1
3. The modelines no longer disappear after restarting, everything works fine, except AMD pops up a error message box about improper driver
4. Then I uninstall driver 16.2.1, and install driver 18.5.1 again
5. This time, the modelines no longer disappear after restarting, and the AMD message box does not pop up anymore

Hope my experience might help someone in the future.
