Really odd issue for the boffins | Lossless Scaling | Page 1

So I have the most weirdest issue. Every game LSFG works perfectly except starfield recently. After several mins with LS activated it will crash the game.
Without LS active, game runs just fine. Tried older versions of LS, tried DXGI, WGC, flip presentation model on/off and various other settings in LS.
Game is running in a window, LS Scaling set to auto, Scaling type LS1 performance, FG 2.3 x3 to get that lovely 120, LS version 2.11.
Everything is capped to 40fps in RTSS.
Not had any issues before.
Even downgraded GFX drivers and updated to latest.
I'm genuinely stumped.

What API is Starfield running on?

hybrid pewter Sep 24, 2024, 4:36 PM

#

DX12, though I'm just trying LS 2.9, it's only been 5 mins but can't seem to get it to crash. I'll play a little longer and report.

hybrid pewter Sep 24, 2024, 5:46 PM

#

No, still crashes on 2.9 😦

Can I help you remotely using Rust Desk? Here on the discord call

hybrid pewter Sep 24, 2024, 5:50 PM

#

With all due respect, I'm not comfortable with that. What did you have in mind and I can try it?

hybrid pewter With all due respect, I'm not comfortable with that. What did you have in mind a...

Can you broadcast the screen then? That way I can help you faster

#

broadcast without rust desk just through discord

hybrid pewter Sep 24, 2024, 5:52 PM

#

of course. bare with me. It can take a few mins or instantly to crash.

#

did you see it crash?

#

Sadly it is still doing the same thing 😦

#

show me your LossLess settings

#

What is your driver version?

hybrid pewter Sep 24, 2024, 7:25 PM

#

I have prefer dxswapchain set in NCP and power management set to max perf also.

#

latest 561.09

silk anvil Sep 24, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

Check if there is any overlay getting in the way

hybrid pewter Sep 24, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

I have RTSS overlay on

#

i don't have nvidia experience installed

#

steam overlay disabled too

#

just rtss

#

though it has never given me issue before

#

with LS

#

I also have an undervolt going but again, it's never been a problem. Though all other games work fine with LS. Just Starfield.

silk anvil Sep 24, 2024, 7:32 PM

#

Have you tried changing the API to Vulkan using dxvk?

#

in the starfield

hybrid pewter Sep 24, 2024, 7:33 PM

#

not tried that with SF, though it works well with daysgone and LS. Give me a few and I'll try it out.

#

oh but doesn't dxvk only work with dx11 and below and not dx12?

#

wait

#

From what I've seen, this mod literally breaks the game's performance

hybrid pewter Sep 24, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

yeah, just reading the comments now

#

doesnt sound promising

gusty gust Sep 25, 2024, 5:19 AM

#

What else has changed since it worked correctly?

hybrid pewter Sep 25, 2024, 6:41 AM

#

Windows security updates (the amd one), GFX drivers and LS updates.

#

All of which I've investigated before asking for help.

gusty gust Sep 25, 2024, 6:54 AM

#

Ah so it's been a long while

hybrid pewter Sep 25, 2024, 6:55 AM

#

Currently testing LS 2.9 with the VC redist arthurdsd kindly provided. Not crashed just yet but maybe too early.

#

nope, just crashed.

#

gusty gust Sep 25, 2024, 7:06 AM

#

I doubt you only had three updates in a month?

#

Actually I would bet on it that you haven't

hybrid pewter Sep 25, 2024, 7:12 AM

#

Hmm what you mean updates? Windows updates? Game updates?

gusty gust Sep 25, 2024, 7:13 AM

#

Programs too even!

Remove downvolt and rtts too disable full screen optimization in apps, when my gpu and power cable won't right lsfg first to crash the pc I mean lsfg can be hard on system stability and people talking about win 11 update problem and need specific driver maybe you must install them
