Problem with Lossless Scaling

[Valen]

every time I use the scale option and chose the window I want to scale the same window freezes and I can't alt+tab out of it.

Interesting. Can you add me?

[Kayog]

Need more info about os, gpu, app settings etc.

Just a small bump. I'm curious as to what effects it a bit, as I occassionally get this as well. Or, Notice that specifically Lossless scaling is freezing/crashing while the game continues to run.

What exactly is happening? If it's just a black or white screen and you hear the game running in the background, it's not a crash or a freeze.

[Brightpaw]

As far as I can tell. Lossless scaling is freezing, but the audio for the game (and in fact the game, is still running with motion). It's possible to alt tab and see the game still going but the screen is frozen for Lossless. Color picture and all.

This is because WGC capture isn't supported or you selected 'Legacy capture' option, so it uses GDI capture that can't capture some games.

Ah, I'm actually not using Legacy capture. https://prnt.sc/yNBSaM_-GHiU

Well, I did try that anyway. I just seem to continue to get ultra heavy stuttering (and LS does sometimes still freeze until i alt+f4 the game i'm playing) No white or black screen.

What's your hardware and app settings?

[Brightpaw]

Using ls1, auto to aspect Ratio. The only things I have turned on are VRR and HDR mode.
Cpu is an amd 5900x with a nvidia 3070 ti

What game are you scaling? Try without using VRR and HDR.

Warhammer total war III, though it mostly has a problem on the Campaign or overworld map. Loses about 10 fps, though, I'm trying to run it in high quality, or 2954 x 1662 (upscaling to a 4k resolution). Though, it works perfectly fine when upscaling from 2560x1440 or 2k. It's a problem i've noticed really recently. I'm playing in actual HDR, so I do have to leave that on, But I'm trying VRR off, and I tried to alt tab and the image I was looking at froze and refused to close. (I just had to restart my pc to get it to go away). This doesn't appear to happen on sharp bilinear, but does on LS1 and AMD FSR.

That one just happened to me, I alt tabbed to reduce LS1's sharpening and it Froze the image the game was displaying for my whole screen lmao.
