Green overlay after playing PUBG

Postby Tiwas » 29 May 2018 22:10

Hi guys,
I've been struggling with a green overlay on my videos lately, and as we've had a heat wave I figured it must be overheated equipment. Turns out it's not. If I've played PUBG and turn on a video it'll look like a bunch of martians. After a reboot (where my rig is actually hotter than before the reboot) it's fine.

Anyone know what this might be? I'm on 3.0.2 x64.

Cheers!

Hello,

if you are using an AMD GPU, that might be related to https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=144333
If this is the case, this is not on our side, unfortunately.

Yes, it's an RX580 GPU - so I'll wait for new drivers :)

Can you try to change to D3D9 output or OpenGL in preferences?

Thanks. Will do! Just OpenGL or OpenGL for Windows? Would it make a difference to select D3D11?

One thing, though - my cursor is invisible until I click the VLC window.

Both of them fixed the green overlay, but Direct3D9 did the best job. If I used OpenGL my mouse cursor isn't visible over the movie window (unless I click it), but with D3D9 everything is fine. Thanks :)

Can you try Direct3D9 + DxVA2, please?

Hmmm...couldn't find it. Is it under Access modules, Audio codecs, Demuxers, Stream filters or Video codecs? I would really appreciate to know exactly which branch of the config tree it's in, or maybe what to search for. The help's greatly appreciated. Also, as the Direct3D9 seems to fix all my problems - what am I looking for after the new setting?
