Game basically unplayable on Intel Arc B580 dedicated GPU
Screen is very odd whenever loading a game when loading game data ... then its fine a short moment while loading save file then when ingame back to the odd screen
When pressing windows key for opening the start menu its fine for some reason but closing it will be poor again

Simple question: Drivers Updated?

i would also try writing a post on intel forums
see if u can find other games with the same issue
carmine storm
Thats one fine idea 🫡👍

I can also suggest to try to disable Discord overlay for the game, and also try it in window mode instead of fullscreen.

I can try playing that later today

you could also try reloading the drivers with the win hotkey

window 1080p didnt work any better but windowed 720p works as good as 720p ever gets lol
i tried to scale the resolution ingame only the top two arent working
screenshots seem to portray the actual screen how it should be
so the top two dont work but the lower two work ... weird

Weird indeed.
Another thing you can try is to open Settings while holding Shift - this way the resolution picker should offer more options.
Also, did you try to disable Discord overlay?

if youre talking about that newly implemented discord overlay i havnt looked into how to use it at all
i can try tomorrow its half an hour to 11pm here and tomorrow is 50/50 chance i gotta work or at least get a docs notice as im a bit ill
carmine storm
the discord overlay seems to have no or negligible impact on the odd screen situation
i just hat VT open on the 1280 by 1024 resolution setting and then my microsoft edge window displayed the same odd screen every few seconds

If another window has the same behavior I’m assuming it’s a driver issue… I’d contact intel and see what they have to say about it
carmine storm
the other window only had it when VT was opened tho
scenic marlin
hmmm thats weird
carmine storm
thats what i said too 😅
carmine storm
now sea of thieves does a similar thing with lower opacity and only maybe the top third of the screen ...
ctrl shift windows B ... gpu reset doesnt seem to help against this
scenic marlin
im pretty sure this is a driver issue then
try a 3rd game and if it happens there then it def is
id just try and contact intel and see what they have to say about this

SoT ran good before also 2 other games ran fine
but i guess this diverges off of the voxel tycoon spectrum
so as a general trouble shooting people can play on smaller resolutions for now (720p and 1280 by 1024 resolution working)
carmine storm
on 720p some ui elements seem to get cut off sadly
even on the higher working window option

I’ve never rlly payed attention to how things behave in Windowed mode but I’m pretty sure this happens to most games that don’t support resizing
carmine storm
somehow now it works in VT after switching ... something in the intel graphics setting i have no clue what it was
maybe its the fps limit beyond my monitors capabilitys
scenic marlin
i doubt its something to do with fps
though it might freak out when its trying to output more than X amount
carmine storm
im not sure its fine when i set it to 144 fps ... while on a 60fps screen
also for screen scaling it seems to be good on the retro setting whatever retro means to the intel people
carmine storm
I can now say the issue has something to do with frame synchronysation
Intel has options to let games gecide or an overwrite to Vsync on / off / smooth / smart and that with the goal fps set ti 144 totally wiped my issue
edit also found out everything on the B580 works dependant on Resizable Bar being activated
so my crashes mostly stemmed from that
