Windows 10 1809 / LS 2.0
- Black screen when scaling some games
- WGC (Windows Graphics Capture) mode is not supported, or GDI capture mode is forced by selecting the "Legacy Capture API" option.
- Upgrade Windows to at least 1903 version, or do not use "Legacy Capture API" mode if it has been enabled.

GTX 1060 3Gb / Windows 10/ LS 2.0
- Unusually low FPS and stuttering
- Insufficient VRAM for LS operation.
- Start scaling your game in the menu before it uses up all the available VRAM. Also, some games have an option to limit the use of VRAM.

RX560 / Windows 10 / LS 1.6.0
- Excessive input lag while using any of upscaling modes, not expirienced on NVIDIA gpus
- The culprit is radeon instant replay feature in drivers
- Turning it off instantly solves the issue, input lag is gone

Any System / LS 1.6.0
- BIG FPS drop while using Scaling Factor 1.6.
- It Happens with NIS only.. Not with other Scalings..
- Use Scale Factor as 1.61/1.62/1.63...and so on ;)

RTX 3050 mobile (latest driver 546.33) / Windows 11 (using gsync) / LS 2.5.0 beta
-LSFG not working on Monster Hunter World DX12 API
-Gsync
-Use DX11 API (not recommended if you have a DX12 capable card as the game has been optimized for DX12 use) or disable Gsync.
Edit:
If using Gsync another fix is to Use RTSS 7.35 beta 6, add frame limiter to max refresh rate -3, go to Setup, scroll down to Enable Framerate Limiter and Select Nvidia Reflex.

Maybe on Linux (steamdeck) soon ?

RTX 4070ti (latest driver 546.33) / Windows 11 (10.0.22631.3007) / LS 2.5.0.2

-The user interface in the game doubles when frame generation (LSFG) is enabled. The technology does not work correctly.
-In some games, there is a significant decrease in fps (drops to an unplayable 15-20 fps in game) when scaling is enabled. For example, in Avatars Frontiers

if you guys got black screen using obs or streamlabs from last version of software - you need to hide application to windoows bar, its works both for recording and streaming purposes

2.6.0.3 works better, less stutter, but smoothness of vrr(freesync) is not used.Nvidia driver 551.23.

RX 5600XT 6GB / Windows 11 Stable / LS 2.6.0.4
- Game Cocoon runs at 50% the real in-game speed with any kind of LS overlay, scaling only, FG only, the config does not matter, it happens also on other devices I own. 3500U Laptop, 1060 6GB Laptop, and a 1050 Laptop. All different devices, the game still runs at 50% speed no matter what.

Make sure other overlays are off as well.
Set Vsync on via Graphics Control Panel
Set Max Frame Rate to monitor rate via Graphics Control Panel
No need for half refresh rate for frame generation. Just run it like normal.

I also use the LS1 upscaling method that comes in the app. I set my game to Windowed (very important) and set to scale it to Fullscreen. Then using my method stated above with Frame gen on, I just do the scaling via the default Alt+s shortcut, and I am good to go.

Also, I keep the capture API to WGC and set it to run on my dedicated graphics.

When do you use vsync in app and what are the different refreshrate options for - I am using riva tuner to limit FPS and vsync disabled, allow tearging and use vsync via AMD driver, works great. So I am just wondering what those options are for and in what environment they would make sense.

[MrRanKingOne]

I have a huge proble since an update i lost the full version of lossless scaling and only have legacy edition wth I PURCHASED THIS

[MrRanKingOne]

ANY HELP GETTING MY FULL VERSION BACK I HATE THE LEGACY EDITION
