What filter should I choose for 1080p?

[Colen Bardbarian]

Just for the record, I grew up with these games from the Amiga days.

However, either my eyes can't cope anymore or there is some way to make this look less pixled? what's the best options?

I downloaded Beneath a Steal Sky the other day and it looks much better.

THanks for any help.

Try full screen AA and Direct3D?

Hi thanks for the prompt reply.

I'm just getting a black screen now with music.

Well, at least there aren't big pixels! :D

Is anti-aliasing an option for DirectDraw? We could try that and then try smooth sprite scaling, or some HQX scaling filter?

The truth is that at the end of the day, it's hard to upscale pixel art, but those might help?

Well I got D3d to work by setting it to run in Win 7 compatibility mode.

I'm on Windows 10, so must be an issue with that. However it looks much better now.

THanks for help.

Excellent! I hope you enjoy the game, blurry pixels notwithstanding!
