[0.17.x] Picture getting blurry when moving N/S directions

[irbork]

As in subject.
The picture is fine when moving E/W, but the higher the vertical portion of velocity vector, the higher blur effect is visible.
I use the same computer and monitor as in previous versions of Factorio, which did not have this issue.

Does it affect 0.17.5 - something similar was fixed in it.
You will need to download it by hand since automatic updater is offline for repairs.

Also - please post the log Instructions are in the how to report bugs thread.

I think it is much less noticeable in 0.17.5.
It's a graphic glitch that do not generate crash reports.
Now I notice only slight blurriness of belts and pipes when moving. The rest of entities seems unaffected.

Today I have tried 0.17.17 and it is just impossible to play with...
Any movement = horizontal blur lines across screen. I have not seen these lines before (0.12 - 1.16, the same machine).

Can you post log please? On Windows, press Win + R, type in %APPDATA%\Factorio and click OK. File Explorer should open and you should see file called factorio-current.log. If you use macOS or Linux, see paths where to find the logs: https://wiki.factorio.com/Application_d ... _directory

I was not able to capture the bug via screen recorders - everything works when I tried.
So I took my mobile phone and made a real monitor recording. Sorry for quality, my phone is old and there is black sand in the camera.
Just take a look a bit above the character...

EDIT: I just noticed you have v-sync turned off, does it still happen if you enable "Wait for V-sync" in graphics settings?

Original message: Can you try to open %APPDATA%\Factorio\config\config.ini, find line

Code: Select all

; dxgi-presentation-model=copy

and change it to

Code: Select all

dxgi-presentation-model=flip

(it is important to delete semicolor ';' at the start of the line)

[xtmq]

Have no idea why vsync was disabled... So
vsync = false && dxgi-presentation-model=default (commented by ; ) - does not work
vsync = false && dxgi-presentation-model=flip - works
vsync = true && dxgi-presentation-model=default - works
vsync = true && dxgi-presentation-model=flip - works
