Diagonal line through the screen? (HD Collection)

Post by Axmann »

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed a very faint diagonal line going from the upper left to the bottom right of the screen? it's not like a line that stands out, it's like a faint "split" in the screen. It gets a tiny bit wider as soon as you press the menu button.

Is it just me? No other games does it o.0

SH3 is known to have a vertical refresh issue that causes tears in the screen. I'm amazed the problem still exists in the HD port. Then again I'm not really after reading all the glitchy issues people are reporting. I'm guessing this issue has to do with the game engine so can't really be fixed without using a new engine.

I've seen it too, I don't notice it very often though.

Loosing vertical synchronization results in a horizontal line where one frame is replaced with the next frame in the middle of refresh rather than between them, not a diagonal line like Axmann describes.

A problem like this existing for only 1 person seems next to (if not) impossible.

I wasn't suggesting otherwise, and Dark Shadow had already mentioned noticing the same issue.

If you press pause there is clearly a diagonol line that is slightly moved to the right, this makes the image look awkward and it happens everytime you check the map, pause or go to the inventory. I can confirm this. It happens in SH2 as well but only if you go into the inventory.
