Bad rendering quality on Windows 10 mobile

[crazyhappygame]

Please run cpp-test on Windows 10 mobile and Android and compare graphic.
It works fine (on both devices) but quality of rendered app is lower on Windows Phone.

I released (cocos2dx-3.10) exactly the same apps on Google Play and Windows Store.

1. Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crazyhappygame.coloringpagespuzzleforkids).
2. Windows 10: (https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9nblggh4m297)

It seems like there is some issue with scaling/smoothing on WindowsPhone.
Both application uses: glview->setDesignResolutionSize(size.width, size.height, ResolutionPolicy::EXACT_FIT);

In attachment screen shots from devices: Android.png and WindowsPhone.png.
Android.png looks much better that WindowsPhone.png. How can I fix it?
Android: 720x1280

Windows: 768x1280

Yeah, got same issue. Don't have my phone now to capture screens but remember having it.

With original code it was easy to notice the ugly graphics (first I blamed 480x800 of Lumia 435). Later, I found that as I already had my designResolution(), removing the call to
director->setContentScaleFactor() my game was still working, performance on Lumia 435 improved a bit, and graphics, while not being the same than on Android, looked better than before.

So I basically 'ignore' the hints given on cocos 2d-x multi resolution tutorial and just call

glview->setDesignResolutionSize(designSize.width, designSize.height, ResolutionPolicy::EXACT_FIT);

After rereading the detailed explanation, it still seems a must to call setContentScaleFactor() but I would advice you to give it a try removing it and sharing results too.

@stammen could you help me?

Are there any workround for solve this problem? I faced same thing on porting from Android to UWP.
How can I solve this?

No workaround so far ...

Sadly, One of my top interest about using cocos2d-x was the possibility to develop for all platforms (android, ios AND wp), more than a year after, I've stopped all efforts for WP due the lack of support for basic stuff such as a fast app startup (blame ANGLE) and my schedule doesn't include update my WP game (yeah, it's published for WP8.1 and UWP win10/win10mobile) as there is no answer from development team.

My feeling is that WP port is (almost) abandoned so....

I'm facing the same while scaling big image to small on iOS.
Have you solved this trouble?
