Total Warhammer 3 not using -H resolution

[raaffaaeell]

Hello, I'm not sure if I understand this correctly. but I'ld like to use FSR upscaling like so

gamescope -h 720 -H 1080 -f -e -U -- %command%

and

gamescope -w 1280 -W 1980 -h 720 -H 1080 -f -e -U -- %command%

When I get into the game and check the resolution it says 720p and the UI is like it's still 720, not 1080p

Am I doing something wrong ?

Cheers

I think you misunderstood the pipeline there. -h and -w lie to the game telling it is run on a smaller screen size. Then -H and -W are the output gamescope will upscale to. The FSR thecnique (or nearest neighbors by default) is applied by gamescope to upscale between the lowercase and uppercase options. The game doesn't see that and doesn't care about it.

Sorry, but I still dont understand how I'ld go about using fsr with gamescope. How would I be able to have the 1080p being upscaled from a lower resolution.

Currently I have just 720p blurry UI, not 1080p blurry UI (if that makes any sense)

I'm not sure what are you trying to acomplish.
If you set h to 720 then the game will render at most to 720 native resolution. Then if you also set H to 1080 gamescope will upscale those 720 to 1080 using FSR.

@raaffaaeell the blurry UI is expected, since FSR will try to upscale it as well (you can try and remove -U to see the difference) due to how the FSR hack works. For the UI not to be upscaled and show it as if the game was running at 1080p, it would have to have a proper FSR implementation. You can read more about it here.

Caveats:

• Only works in vulkan games (dxvk and vkd3d-proton included).
• Some games upscale on their own, without using fshack, when you select a lower resolution in game. FSR won't work in those.
• Obviously applying FSR to the final image is not ideal, it should be applied before the UI is drawn and before some post processing effects like film grain.

This is how the game looks when I use the flags like in my first post and the resolution available

This is 1080p (without gamescope, fullscreen)

The unit cards in the gamescope are smaller than the ones without gamescope, despite being the same resolution. Does it make sense now ?

I understand why the UI is blurry, what I'm trying to understand is why I'm getting 720p blurry instead of 1080p blurry, or if I misunderstood how the gamescope implementation works

Thanks in advance, guys

@raaffaaeell gamescope is behaving as expected: you're telling it to upscale a 720p UI to a 1080p resolution. The reason why you're seeing it so sharp without gamescope is because you're running it at native resolution, not upscaled from 720p.

You can try running it with gamescope -H 1080 -f -e -- %command% to see what I'm talking about. The game should look the same as the second image.

@pmartiner It's not about the sharpness. The width of the unit cards is not the same between the screenshots, for example.

I see your issue and that's nothing gamescope could help. Is a decision made from the game to render in 720 that UI element based on what the developer thought was right for that screen resolution. Since the game thinks the screen is 720, then it will render at 720 UI elements. Some games are more clever than it and provide a slide to scale UI elements, but I'm afraid this time the developer took the decision from you.
