#Lossless Scaling breaks when using more than one monitor

When using more than one monitor LS doesnt work, when using a prgram at 60 fps, instead of doubling to 120 or tripling to 180, it will say some nonsense like 132 / 124. It only functions as it should when i disconnect all displays except one from windows.
I'm on a 6700xt.

Do your monitors have different refresh rates?

little jungle
#

yes

jagged stump
#

This might be the issue then. I face this problem a lot too and I have a 144 and 60 Hz monitor

little jungle
#

is there no fix? is it really a bug? I have two 60hz monitors ans a 170hz

jagged stump
#

You can test it by only using the two 60 Hz monitors
If the bug happens then too then it's maybe the different refresh rates colliding

little jungle
#

so i assume you are correct but im not sure how to go about playing anything without turning something off 😓

jagged stump
#

Yeah I have the same thing
Wait

#

Could you try using one of your 60 Hz monitors as your main windows monitor?
And then still play and use LS on your 170 Hz monitor?
See if that helps

little jungle
#

says 132 / 139

jagged stump
#

And when you play the game on one of the 60 Hz monitors and then output LS to your 170 Hz monitor?

#

You will see the game twice but it should work normally then

little jungle
#

huh... when i play the game on a 60hz monitor and set output display to the 170hz one it still only displays on the 60hz one

jagged stump
#

You have to select to output to your 170 Hz monitor in Lossless

little jungle
#

yes ive done that, it refuses to switch

jagged stump
#

Maybe try restarting Lossless and the game

jagged stump
#

Does it work?

little jungle
#

well now i have the game showing on two monitors, id say "sort of?"

#

its not tripling correctly more like my games fps is 60, and the program is showing 60 / 140

jagged stump
#

Your 170 Hz monitor should still show the generated smoother frames
It's not ideal but it's something

jagged stump
#

Does it show 60/120 correctly when you set Frame Gen to x2 at least?

little jungle
#

oh my bad that was just in the menu, it looks like it is tripled correctly now

#

i suppose this is usable but what a messy way to do it lol

jagged stump
#

It's annoying but probably the best we can do for now

Since the devs are not able to reproduce this, it doesn't look good in terms of official fixes

little jungle
#

really? where did you hear that?

#

ive had the issue constantly for the last month and have reinstalled gpu drivers a dozen times by now

#

they can have my computer

jagged stump
#

We have a lot of threads in this support channel regarding this issue
And it was said that neither of the admins or mods can reproduce this

#

Not necessarily about nonsense but also about Lossless showing 144/144 instead of 48/144 for example

#

However there are also people who have this issue with only one monitor so they can't even apply this fix

little jungle
#

i posted about it in another thread maybe a week or two ago, but im pretty sure it IS graphics driver based, back then i found a version of AMD drivers that it worked perfectly on, but unfortunatly AMD is kind of bad at making drivers and my fan controller software didnt work correctly on those ones, so for a while i just put up with the noise of my overbearing case fans and enjoyed a fully functional LS. Yesterday i kind of had enough and updated to the latest drivers to fix my fan controller and now LS is nonfunctional again. Or at least thats my suspicion

#

i hope they get it fixed soon cause this does feel kind of silly

jagged stump
#

Hm I see
There were a lot of people lately who reported LS showing nonsense framerates (like 60/48)

little jungle
#

figured out if you use WGC instead of DXGI you can put something over the screen your using instead of displaying the game on two monitors at once

#

Just restart pc then play game. works for me

little jungle

#

Then you have a program blocking it, go to msconfig and find it

versed jacinth
#

might have to try to DDU and reinstall drivers. If you already did that, then yeah maybe try some older drivers. Other than that no idea :x

#

This might be a stretch, but do any of you have unactivated Windows? Or furthermore, a Windows watermark at the bottom right?

#

I ask this because I had similar problems, you know, 144/144 fps counters and the game not being detected etc. But then I activated my Windows, the watermark goes away and I no longer have problems with LSFG

little jungle
#

used AMD cleanup utility

#

Damn, I see, it was worth a try at least

jagged stump
#

I guess it could practically be any kind of background program that tries to somehow be in focus or any kind of overlay

hallow stag
#

Yeah I am thinking it has to be some sort of overlay interfering with the program

jagged stump
#

Then again I don't understand why playing on the second monitor and outputting LS to your main fixes it

hallow stag
#

I tried just about everything before activating my Windows and frustatingly nothing worked lol, I do hope everyone finds that one thing messing with LS
