World of Warcraft: WotLK - Two monitor long blackscreen flash #3819

Open Vulcum opened 9 months ago

Vulcum commented 9 months ago

I use two monitors and when i click on second monitor the screen with game just act like ALT+TAB. Blackscreen pop up really slow and after 2-3 seconds I see game again. After it when I click to primary screen with game the same scene happen. Blackscreen and after shows game. But is it possible to remove this? Just like normal fullscreen(windowed) settings. I tried older GPU driver and the blackscreen flash was max 1 second in worst. But when I use the latest GPU drivers I have these problems. I "solved" it by self with game settings to only windowed mode and by my support program Dual-Monitor Tool (using for locking my cursor in one screen) i made shortcut to fill screen with open window. So I see Windows bar sadly.

How I said. This blackscreen flash happend all the time but it was under 1 second so I could still manage control my character in-game.

So Is it possible to remove the blackscreen flash?

This just sounds like Windows is changing resolution or refresh rate or other monitor mode since the exclusive fullscreen app can make Windows do that when it is running. That isn't the fastest on Windows. I assume you have tested latest regular dxvk too as old versions aren't supported here (nor async).

So I see Windows bar sadly.

Can't you solve this by using the maximized option below Windowed Mode? This will turn it in to a borderless window.

I tried set Windowed Maximized (its default) but still happening. Its interesting when i just remove dxvk config all of this stop. I do not know how to test it. Because Prim.monitor is 2550x1440 165 HZ and Second.monitor is 1920x1080 60Hz.

So I have to make/find differend dxvk config for WoW? Im new in this.

What do you mean by this. You mean the dxvk.conf file? or dxvk in general. The only dxvk config (and by that i mean the options in dxvk.conf) that is likely to influence this is d3d9.enableDialogMode = True but it might not do anything. Do note that Windows is not officially supported. (Don't know how this behaves on Linux X11 without fshack as i don't have a multi monitor setup hooked up right now)

One thing to try is in Nvidia settings or control panel, can't remember the name, is to try and mess with "Vulkan/OpenGL present method" just for this exe. E.g. trying to set it to "Prefer layered on DXGI Swapchain". Though i don't know if it would influence this.

I mean these all files from World of Warcraft folder -> I upload the log too there. https://file.io/9l0cWJwtF2mg

set it to "Prefer layered on DXGI Swapchain". Though i don't know if it would influence this.

I have set it already.

Thought ide chime in on this issue. If you enable d3d9.enableDialogMode = True this issue seems to be fixed. No more black screen. Can safely click between monitors too.

@Vulcum can you verify this?

@Vulcum can you verify this? I have 2-3 seconds blackscreen while switching between monitors.

Any ideas what to add to config for WoW WotLK? Im using this one and just added "d3d9.enableDialogMode = True" https://pastebin.com/mcCmcAVx

Yes you just insert it into the dxvk.conf next to the exe.

I reread the issue and understand now you are saying that the issue goes away if you delete the config file? If that is true then just remove it. I can see in your link the config messes with a whole bunch of random options. You should mostly never have to mess with any of this unless there is a specific issue and then i would rather that it is reported here. Most of them are meant for debugging or to work around specific issues and might introduce others so I'd advise that you delete the file and then only reports issues that happen without any dxvk configuration.
