Re: Pixelated screen when running game using heroic

setting the basic things … it is pixelated

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

HiDPI/xwayland related?

I installed arch for the first time

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Re: Pixelated screen when running game using heroic

i think i was related to my screen resolution scale in hyprland.conf . i added some stuff other than setting my scale to 1. it was this that i added:
GDK_SCALE=1
GDK_DPI_SCALE=1
QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11

is this okay to add ?

Re: Pixelated screen when running game using heroic

You can downforce DPI scaling, whether that'S what you want is a different matter.
