Wootility UI bugged

[dry haven]

This just started out of nowhere and updating Wootility didn't fix my problem, the visual problems flicker on my monitor however it doesn't show up in the clip

I'm not sure how to help you since we cannot see the issue 😅

[dry haven]

managed to get a better video of it happening

[lethal star]

does this happen on the website version

[dry haven]

nope just the app, im using the website in the meantime instead

i uninstalled and reinstalled wootility to try and fix it but it didn't solve anything 💔

[lethal star]

idk who handles this internally but @willow stratus prob knows who to poke about maybe upgrading electron

or maybe its gpu hw acceleration or some such

[wide veldt]

Do you have OLED monitor?

[dry haven]

it is not an oled

240hz

[lethal star]

not quite sure how thats related

[dry haven]

just disabled hardware acceleration gpu scheduling in the windows settings and restarted, also didn't solve it sadlyy

[lethal star]

i mean in electron (the wootility installed app is basically a chromium browser without being able to go to other websites)

[willow stratus]

The only issue sort of like this I've seen had to do with forcing settings on the Nvidia control panel

But that was the UI being blurred because of forced fxaa which is not this at all

@dry haven did you recently update windows/drivers or do some kind of gaming performance tweaks?

[willow stratus]

We upgraded electron very recently

[dry haven]

i did change my nvidia control panel settings recently but im positive i didn't change my global settings

i don't know if this information will help find the problem either but just pressing any key make the window freak out

also, only a few of the visual problems show through OBS recording, alot of them only appear on the screen and don't pick up on recording

specifically everything flickering black or white, doesn't show up when i try record it

[lethal star]

it not showing up when recording would indicate its either happening outside the recording framerate or isnt happening on the pc side but monitor side

[willow stratus]

Now I'm wondering if your GPU is dying

[dry haven]

i don't believe its frame rate cos sometimes it just freezes as black but obs still doesn't pick it up

[dry haven]

god i hope not its not even 2 years old

my drivers should be updated but ill go quickly try reinstall and see if that helps

[lethal star]

if it gets stuck at black for like half a sec or so and obs doesnt pick it up yeah im with diogo id be worried about other stuff as well

[zenith lichen]

sounds like when i had a GPU with the "Vram" failing it would cause all sorts of visual issues till it died

[dry haven]

i mean, forgive me cos im not like super clever when it comes to pcs but i don't really play anything gpu heavy all too much and when i do i play them on the lower side of quality settings to be safe

i also never have like performance problems with anything else everything works all good

if reinstalling drivers doesn't work then ill try find a spare monitor maybe cos im starting to think it could be the issue somehow

and see if the problem still carries over

[zenith lichen]

For reference, “VRAM” is where graphics information is temporarily stored to be used for processing graphics data or sending it to the monitor. If this starts to fail, it can cause some strange visual issues. This can range from spots on the screen, sections of the screen going blank, issues with game textures, blue screens, certain ponts not updating correctly etc.

It is pretty rare, and not tied to settings, so if you start to experience a widespread range of issues, it may be related (hopefully it is not).

(could also just be a driver issue)

[dry haven]

so it might just be bad luck and my card could just be failing even if the settings is seemingly giving me the all good? 😬

[willow stratus]

Another thing that came to mind is overlays

Do you have msi afterburner or similar?

If so, try turning it off

[dry haven]

i don't believe i have anything like that

and i definitely didn't activate any overlay kinda stuff around the time the problem started happening

also reinstalling drivers didn't help the problem, rip

[willow stratus]

Try disabling gsync / freesync, searching for the issue I can see it might cause similar issues

[dry haven]

both off but still happening

cheers to you all for this help btw i should say 💜

[willow stratus]

Rip I don't know then

At least you can still use browser

[dry haven]

minimising the window seems to make it go back to normal also

like minimising and maximising it

but then obviously the second i interact with it

it goes crazy again lol

[dry haven]

yea ill live of course its just a strange problem with the app specifically

[wide veldt]

Very visible VRR flicker
