Report a visual problem about game The Sims 1. #275

My OS : Win10 (22H2) My Game : The Sims 1 My OS Language : Simplified Chinese

What is the Problem:

  1. I download latest version of DDrawCompat v0.5.1 and put it in game folder.
  2. Run The Sims 1
  3. alt-tab back to windows, and then back to game, all fonts in game become little bit blur and little bit hard to read.
  4. use shift+f11 and checking DisplayFilter option, but none of them made fonts clear.

Since the DDrawCompat works fine, technically there's no error log I could upload for you. I solve the problem by using Sims1WidescreenPatcher, there is a DDrawCompat 0.4.0 in it. that version works just fine, solving the "alt-tab glitch" and no blurring fonts. I don't understand how DDrawCompat or Sims1WidescreenPatcher work so maybe other thing cause this?

Is this still an issue with v0.5.2?
