I mean its been a while now and it is sad that we have paid all that money and cant play the game. As soon as we'll be able to do so. We're finding it's affecting users with certain types of user defined display settings, so in the meantime if you try changing these via Windows display settings you may find you can get it displaying without issue.

Well, i respect your research... But there's nothing "user defined" here... To test, I've formatted my PC, installed Windows again, installed FM21, and the problem was there... Everything here is default, to test properly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the information. But I don't think it's relevant to Windows display settings in anyway. Personally, my settings are always default. In this topic, you can also see a simultaneous comparison of FM20 and FM21 showing that the ingame text quality is vastly downgraded. Regards. Link to post Share on other sites

Kingpit 8 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 guys i think i found a temporary solution for those who desperately want to play the game. on nvidia control panel colour settings change the gamma option from 1.00 to 2.00 .( or just as far as the screen is acceptably bright for you . ) you can also lower brightness to make it even better.

This is incorrect. It has nothing to do with user defined settings what so ever. It is the fact the game can not render in 1080P properly. My monitor can not output any other resolution than 1920x1080. This can not be changed. You would know this if someone in the company bought a 1080P monitor and actually tested it to see for themselves. This is not a user defined setting via windows or the video card. It is an an issue with the game itself. I'm starting to think I need to demand my money back from steam for this years version. Because it is starting feel like you will never be able to resolve this. Its been weeks, and the people working on it don't seem to even understand the actual issue is. No other piece of software has this issue. Not even older versions of FM. To emphasize this, if I hook up an old 1440 monitor to this PC (with no setting changes what so ever), it looks fine on that monitor. But I refuse to use that old small monitor. I want to use my nice big curved samsung 32" monitor that works flawlessly with everything but FM21. I'm a little shocked and flustered this is taking so long to figure out on your end. I provided all this info in the topic I created, which seems to have been ignored in favor of this one. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes I want to return the money for this, but I tried to solve this problem for 5 hours of playing, I'm afraid Steam won't return my money... Developers are more concerned with the Korean language in hotfixes than with the terrible fonts, and this is sad for a game with a price like as if it were an EA - AAA project. Come on, SI, you need to hotfixed it, not excuses about screen settings. Edited November 30, 2020 by LXLMR 2 Link to post Share on other sites

jeff.fit82 88 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Well, guys... I've been here before FM20 had Bugs when was released, and they always blamed the user, the user's PC, they asked for logs, screenshots, latest version of Windows, latest version of nVidia drivers...and all that stuff... And in the end, was SI fault... The screenshot was given, the problem exist, fixes were released, and still nothing happened, THERE ARE NOT EVEN WHITE SKIN THIS YEAR...haha seems a joke! 3 Link to post Share on other sites

We do different jobs so we can get salaries and to afford buying games and other things in life that are needed, and now we cannot even play it. Do you think this seems fair for us to wait that long that you guys fix game, which is I am sure pretty simple problem to fix (I see this topic was made on november 10th, and you guys still didn't fix the problem)?! Obviously you guys don't give AF for us players. Just take money and after that when A LOT OF PEOPLE has problems you say "you guys are minority and it's not our top priority to fix this problem" (it sounded like that from your message above).

XRIYIAS23 2 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I am very disappointed with this..I have been playing the game for 15 years, an official announcement must come out otherwise we will ask for our money back.

Faronizer 24 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Here is a screenshot taken on a 1440p screen with 100% ingame-scaling. The 2nd "Advanced" below was added outside of the game with what I think matches the ingame font (GT-America Regular) There is something very wrong with the font rendering as you can see alot of artefacts on the ingame fonts (and no that's not due to image compression). It's my first FM and I didn't play yet, cause I just can't read the text. Very disappointing to say the least. Another example showing the strange color artefacts (500% zoomed in from 100% ingame scaling). For me that induces an impression of "flickering" that causes massive eye-strain.

Wow, well done bringing this image The game seems unfinished, released just to be released, untested, the quality this year didn't seems the same...

Faronizer 24 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 For me it's not completely fixed either. On 150% ingaming scaling (1440p resolution) it looks fine now and white text does not have any colored subpixel. However, 100% and 125% ingame scaling is just as bad as before with white text being distorted by colored pixel inducing a flickering / slight blur effect. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
oulzac 250 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Not completely fixed for me either. The weird underline thing on bold text is gone. But it still has a bright fuzzy halo to all the white text in the game. Which makes it look very blurry and hard to read (and again, only in FM21). Also how do we still not have a dark or light official skin either? Why are we stuck with this purple only this year? I think that might be what is making it look so bad. I always switch to the dark theme. EDIT: I just switched to a dark custom theme and it looks perfectly fine. But, the theme also changed the font as well. So I guess I'll just be playing with a custom themes only this year. So I guess thanks for the partial fix SI. At least its readable for me now with this non official theme.
