Getting NVAPI_ERROR and is there a way to turn off the LG notification? #76

bug

Hello,

Thank you for creating this. I have a problem where after I applied/included/saved my preset, it gives me a NVAPI_ERROR every time I reboot my PC. The dithering also does not seem to apply to my system (although I do see changes in the preview window of the options tab). Finally, I do not use LG screen/remote. Is there a way to turn off anything related to the LG remote? It pops up every time I reboot my PC as well.

I use Windows 11 (clean install) and my GPU is the RTX 2070.

What happens if you manually apply the preset? I assume it works then? According to the log it's caused by the color data settings; maybe it's not liking the "Default, Auto, Auto, Auto" settings just at startup. Does the error go away if you change it to BPC8, RGB, VESA, RGB? Maybe the dithering does not work because of the error. If you manually execute the preset and there are no errors, is the dithering applied then? Currently it's not possible to disable the LG controller entirely, I will add an option for that in the next release.

Unfortunately, I see no difference visually (still see strong banding) when I manually apply it. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but it does say that "8-bit temporal dithering" is my current setting, and I get no error message when I hit the apply button

When not using HDR you might try 6-bit temporal dithering, this will reduce banding more. By the way, I've just released 5.5.0.0 which should stop the LG notification if there are no tv's detected. It will now only show when you activate the LG controller tab page.

Thanks for the update on the remote notification. I tried 6 bit temporal, but it seemed to give me slightly more banding vs the 8 bit temporal.
