3dfx/glide graphics fuzzy and staticy when moving

[agathosdaimon]

HI!
I had to get a new computer recently and picked up an acer nitro 5 with windows 11 and some 6gb geforce rtx card, but also it has some onboard intel graphics card too

in any case, i have installed nglide as usual but when it get employed in a game the graphics get scrambled when ever there is any movement on the screen, so for instance if in European Air War, i use the mouse to look aroudn the cockpit, doing so will give every scrambled edges - i am not sure what the best way to describe it is, - how can i fix this? what is even causing this? is there some kind of nglide setting i should use or does glide stuff need some kind of driver i am missing?

i tried to do a screen capture of the effect and also tried to record video of it in European Air War, but when i view the recording the garbled graphics are not present and it looks fine, - which is not the case when actually playing using Glide

Use an external camera/smartphone.

further testing - i found if i use the Vulkan backend option then the messy graphics go away, however the performance is much lower than if i was using directx

also i notice there si a stick on my laptopm for "g-sync" what is this and should turn it off, if possible. i am sure i read of some folks having problems with it elsewhere

no one has any suggestions?

i notice it happens with using Nglide where the backend is Directx or Automatic - if i select Vulkan it doesnt occur mostly (but still does on some titles) however vulkan seems to run things all a bit slower than the dx backend

is there anything i can do to stop this glitchiness in the screen movements and animations?

no one has any suggestions?

I not use MetroShit11 so no test and help from me.
Can you test the game on different PC/OS?

in the end the issue just went away - and i have had a reinstall of win11 recently, yes i know win11 is shit but its what i have at the moment. Not sure what fixed it and now even since the reinstall teh issue is not there. Perhaps it was just something with older drivers or something, i dont know
