[Pinball Arcade] Broken lighting with default resolution (720p), but the bug is fixed by using any other resolution (480p, 1080p)

Zach-star1 commented 1 year ago

Quick summary

In the Pinball Arcade the lighting effect on the table is a crucial part of the experience. When starting the game using the default resolution (720p), the lighting effects are broken and the tables look very dark. By changing the resolution to any other value (480p, 1080p...) the bug is completely fixed and the tables look bright as they should

Details

This bug occurs with both OpenGL and Vulkan in the exact same way

Attach a log file

I first opened the application at default resolution (720p), I started a game on "Tales of the Arabian Night" and then I closed it --> the table looked dark

So, I changed the resolution to 480p, then opened again Pinball arcade and started a game on "Tales of the Arabian Night" --> the lighting on the table was completely fixed

Attach capture files for visual issues

game at default resolution, the table looks dark

game at 480p, the table lighting is completely fine

System configuration

CPU: i7-8565u GPU: NVIDIA Geforce MX130 GPU Drivers: 537.13

Other details

Thanks to all the developers for the hard work :)

Missing .rrc capture file

I've been testing the game for a while and I found a solution to the broken lighting. It needs to be enabled both "Write color buffers" and "Read color buffers", so that even at standard res the game looks just fine.

Do you it should be added to the recommended settings in the wiki? If needed I can provide screenshots and the .rcc file of the gameplay
