Lossless Scaling

No black bars in window mode?
I have been using this for some time but some games i rather just play in a smaller window mode , now when doing so the program adds black bars everywhere and upscales it and that is insanely annoying is there a way to prevent the program turning a window into a forced black side bar display when scaling?

for some reason auto scaling adds the black border despite having windowed/multi monitor modes on, so set the scaling to custom and select a number that works.

I can't get it to work. Like i just want my window to be frame generated and not add black bars all around as if you are actually playing in windowed on a lower resolution.

I do not want this:

yeah well it works for me. with windowed mode, multi-display mode ON, Custom scaling to 1.1 or whatever (for me if there isnt any upscaling at all there will be a yellow border around the window)

before scaling:

after scaling: (its on wgc just so i can screenshot, otherwise you would want to use DXGI obviously)

try changing your in game resolution before you scale.

DXGI in windowed is offset and does not scale correctly , it is insanely off almost by two inches with a blurry bottom at 1440P and gives horrible performance , i tried to use multi window thinking maybe window is out off focus by the OS and it stays the same really.

Disabling Windowed Legacy gives you black borders but works correctly but then again just black borders all around. WGC seems useless for frame generation as it just says 165 the whole time with a yellow border on top , no overlays nvidia , rivatuner and including steam are enabled.

I don't know i think there is no real windowed mode that works decent atm to use LFG and it's insanely offset like 1 inch atleast as the mouse pointer is nowhere near most menu items when enabled. Very unfortunate ..

its just bugging out, i had the same thing happen, but if i adjusted the window size it managed to work after. but yeah unfortunetly the windowed mode is not actively being worked on nor is supported, hence why its in the 'legacy' options.
