[#117][5.10 HF2] Loading Screen 2 thirds screen size

[alt3rn1ty]

Please refer the previously made topic in the read only Public beta forum :
viewtopic.php?f=192&t=445655

This is a follow up post to the above ..

First screenshot is the first splash screen I get after launching the exe

The above screenshot shows the problem.
As you can see it's not covering the whole screen res.

It then changes to fill the screen a few seconds after

.. Only now having installed ToA the screen is the ToA splash image.

In the previous topic @WoodyAut corroborated the issue.

--------------------------

I now have a new machine (see updated signature)

New DXDiag + VulkanInfo = https://www.dropbox.com/s/q5x3ac0ra8qcj ... 22.7z?dl=0

As determined in the previous read only topic, I can reproduce the issue :

Using FSR (using Quality, I have not tried other FSR settings) I get the same issue on this new machine.

Without FSR the issue does not occur.

So the issue is not unique to the machine I used to have, and seemingly is related to using FSR which was introduced in the 5.0+ betas and above (I did not have this problem prior to the 5.0 betas)

[Imperial Good]

So the problem is that for a brief moment while the game is loading, but before reaching the main menu, the loading screen is not sized correctly? This problem does not happen at all during gameplay?

[alt3rn1ty]

Yep thats it, nothing major and does not affect the gameplay, its just a clunky startup of the game which was not evident before FSR came along.
Probably just a case of loading timing of FSR.

I see the reduced size splash screen for about 7 seconds, https://i.imgur.com/jcE6Tkp.png

then it re-sizes to normal full screen https://i.imgur.com/LgiOPW4.png ..

.. and stays for about 2 seconds, then I see the Egosoft "Its full of stars" logo animation etcetera etcetera.

= All is normal after that first 7 seconds of reduced size splash screen.

Still a minor issue in 6.0 beta 1

7.00 Beta 1

I still get this issue
