Our developer on this feature is currently out of office, so we'll have to wait on his return to get an answer as of exactly why this issue wasn't resolved in SP1, and should have been. In the meantime, I think you deserve a little more information regarding the problem, which I will attempt to explain (it's not my area of expertise). Between EE3 and EE4, we took a new drop of the screen capture SDK from our research group, which included bug fixes and much better performance by working more closely with the GPU.

That SDK added a restriction that the resolution captured needs to be divisible by 4. Note that this restriction is also true of most video formats, so an output that has a width or a height that's not divisible by 4 will need to be either padded or cropped to fit in a XESC, WMV or MP4 file. Because some laptops or PC displays are using off resolution like 1050p or 945p, which are not divisible by 4, the 'full screen' screen capture fails because it's not following the assumption explained above. The fix that was supposed to be implemented in the SP1 timeframe consisted in padding (or cropping) the frame with a few scanlines so the vertical resolution is divisible by 4. We'll look into why this wasn't fixed and will fix it for our next release. Sorry for the inconvenience on the matter. In the meantime, as we suggested before, there are many workarounds to this, including two very resonable ones: 1.

Change your resolution to something that's divisible by 4 before starting your screen cap: 1600x900 works fine for example. Instead of fullscreen, capture in windowed mode and size it to 1680x944 (cropping one line in either the top or the bottom). Finally, please note that Encoder 3 and Encoder 4 can be installed side by side with no interaction between each other if you would like to use EE3 instead of those workarounds. Aknittel: The registry key to clear the previous setting is: HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Microsoft Expression Encoder 4.0 EEScreen You can delete the directory to clear the cache. I don't know if that'll make any difference to your problem. A work around is to change the screen resolution to 1600X900 before we collect more information on this.

1680x945 is out there but it's an odd resolution. We do have 1400x1050 (also not dividable by 4) in house and all tests passed for a similar bug in the previous release (v4).

Having said that, we would like to keep investigating into this problem and make sure everyone got covered. Can anyone affected please contact me at linyang at microsoft.com and we appreciate your help on this. Lin Yang: I still get EE4 screen capture on my computer (Windows 7, 1680x945 resolution) after I installed the EE4 SP1. Here is the eventlog entries. Hope it helps you fix the bug. Application: EEScreen.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

I will contact you this week emailign to. Meanwhile, here is event log dump: Application: EEScreen.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception. Did you not bother to read the bloody thread? Specifically, my reply immediately previous to your post? To save you scrolling up, here it is: 'It was not.

There was no 'coming release,' as the following month MS announced that it was ceasing development of the Expression products, and that what was already released (version 4) was it. At that point development was frozen. Note that this thread is FIVE YEARS old.' Now, to make he obvious explicit, the fix promised in the 'coming release' did not come. Furthermore, it will NEVER, EVER come. They knew of the issue, and had prepared a fix for the next release. But, there was no next release.

Il est finis. Over, and if you're having this problem, you're going to have to either work around it (choose a resolution that's divisible by 4) or use another tool, because the fix ain't in, and it will never be.

For some reason, the new fad is making your game look like it's being shot through a bad camera lens. What games do you know that have it? I want to make a comprehensive list. Alien: Isolation Bloodborne Dying Light Hellblade Lords of the Fallen The Witcher 3 Little Nightmares Observer Batman: Arkham Knight Resident Evil 7 Soma (At least here it kind of makes sense.) Payday 2 Life Is Strange The Order 1886 Destiny Doom Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 Dead Island: Definitive Edition Immortal Redneck ZOMBI The worst thing is that increasingly developers are not giving users the option to turn it off. It can work for games with horror elements like Bloodborne as it can amplify feelings of dread or unease, but aside from that I don't really see the use for it either.

It's a kind of cruel irony that, as screens have moved away from CRT displays or yore and are capable of displaying ever crisper resolutions, the games industry has been hell-bent on squandering it for the past decade and a half with all manner of eyestrain-inducing fads (excessive bloom, color desaturation, low contrast, lens flares, film grain, etc.). Well, your request is unreasonable.

You're asking me to download and reinstall a bunch of games, even though it takes seconds to look up what it is and even though it is easily perceivable from the screenshot I provided. You should be able to see it even a few feet away from your TV. I really wasn't asking to take the screenshots yourself. Just if you could find screenshots on the Internet of comparable games without chromatic aberration (who came up with that name anyways? I checked it up and I still can't believe it's real).

It's just that when I play action games, I usually lose track of this kind of details at the middle of the action and don't notice them at mid-play (unless it's as distracting as with screen tearing or maybe motion blur). Well, your request is unreasonable.

That's still unreasonable. People usually don't keep such comparisons, let alone collections from multiple games. Screen tearing isn't intentional, but yes, motion blur is terrible.

You don't need a before and after to decide whether it's bad or not. Simply ask yourself if it enhances the picture. Maybe you're not seeing it because the forum doesn't maximize images when clicked on. Open it in another window. If you still can't see it, you're not even trying.

How can I know if it 'enhances' the picture if I cant get a shot of something without it? With CA: Without CA: Pay attention to the lock on the door.

With CA: Without CA: The chair edge is discolored with CA on. With CA: Without CA: The door is blurrier with CA on. It's definitely not as extreme as in Hellblade, but I'm not downloading and reinstalling it and figuring out how to mod the CA out for you.

This was so tedious. I had to reinstall the game and repeatedly exit out of the game to edit the ini file because there's no option to disable CA in the settings. There's no quick save feature, so I had to run to the same lit area. (It's a dark game.) I also had to turn Fraps, my screenshot software for non-Steam games, off and on because the developers don't want me to use it. 'Fraps has been known to crash D3D11. Please use Microsoft Expression Encoder instead for capturing.' This was so unnecessary.

DrownedAmmet, hanselthecaretaker and Neverhoodian got it without any problem. Shame about Fraps. Is it just that game that prompts the use of MEE? That would honestly piss me off more than its use of CA. Once you exit out of Fraps, the game automatically launches. You can then go back to your desktop and turn Fraps on. I don't know (or maybe don't remember) of any other games that don't approve of Fraps, but the FAR fix (a resolution mod) for Nier: Automata does the same thing.

The chromatic aberration is kind of annoying, true. Blurry and unfocused. That, however, pales in comparison to the Skewed Over-The-Shoulder cam displayed in that image and is just as prevalent in today's games if not more so. I blame consoles for a lot of the current gaming drawbacks, frankly. I would classify that as gameplay. Yes, the OTS perspective is overused.

But Hellblade has mediocre combat and exploration, so it wouldn't benefit from a bigger field of view. It's because it's artistic, maaaaaaaaaaaan. Don't you appreciate the emulation of shitty looking analogue camera issues that photographers paid 1000s of dollars in equipment to not have it happen to their images?

Especially when it makes your eyes bleed? It screams that whatever artistically minded, but in reality challenged schmuck was in charge of that effect was a fucking incompetent. 'But, it like, makes the image sickly looking, while also focusing the eyes on the center.' Says the mook who thinks he just discovered fucking shellac. Guy, it's sickly looking 'cus it actively fucks your eyes while you are trying to focus.

While ruining the quality of the image. The fucking pox on the houses of everyone that thinks CA should be default visual effect. It can work for games with horror elements like Bloodborne as it can amplify feelings of dread or unease, but aside from that I don't really see the use for it either.

It's up there with badly implemented blur/depth of field and inconsistent framepacing when it comes to vomit party inducing migraine headache generators.

I'd also say it's way too pronounced in Bloodborne. You need to sit a ways away from the screen to not get squinty eyes. Hell, I can barely watch videos of the game in fullscreen on my desktop.

It's the worst quality of the game from a technical standpoint. With CA: Without CA: Pay attention to the lock on the door.

DrownedAmmet, hanselthecaretaker and Neverhoodian got it without any problem. Good for those who agreed with you then? I still dont see it. I jumped between all the pictures and.they look the same. I am not going to feel bad for expecting someone to actually back their argument. Here's my unsubstantiated, probably untrue guess as to why this is a fad.

Remember that really weird graphics option in GTA IV PC that you had to turn off or else everything was blurry as shit, and it was permanently enabled on consoles? Turning it off didn't effect performance at all, so my guess is that it was only a blur filter and nothing else. You know sometimes when you're playing a game, and you squint your eyes, it looks real, but when you open your eyes it looks like a game? Or when you see a thumbnail of a video game it looks so real, but when the image is enlarged, it looks like a video game? I think this is something in the same vein. Game devs want photorealism, but it's obviously impossible with today's hardware, especially with console specs. What they can do instead is destroy detail to make up for a lack of detail in the original image.

There's this idea that photorealism is imperfection. Chromatic aberration is one of those phenomenon. Of course really it shouldn't be noticeable, but it could be one of those '10 tips for photorealism' on the internet that is being abused.

On the other hand, perfect edges definitely kills photorealism, because they don't really exist in real life. The solution is somewhat simple, just bevel the edges. But game devs can't do that, because it would add too many polygons. Instead, you use a normal map, but the model's edges are going to be the same, and at the wrong angle you can see the edge. This is a similar issue with, say organic characters, where let's say you have a character that looks amazing, so smooth and detailed, so beautiful. But when you look at the silhouette edges it's all blocky and polygonal. With smooth shading and pre-baked maps, you can do amazing things with a fraction of the number polygons, but the edges themselves requires a lot of polygons to look smooth, maybe 100,000 polys for just one character.

That's way too much. Another thing that kills photorealism is aliasing. You know with consoles being the primary target, which can't even run 1080p with 8x AA at 30 fps while trying to look like a AAA game, it's going to look like jaggy hell. Instead they run at an upscaled resolution with a lower AA setting, if any at all, with post process AA, which unfortunately makes things blurry, and then they throw tremendous motion blur and DOF out the wazoo. You'll get a nice result by hiding the jaggies, but a lot of the detail is lost. One could say it looks more photorealistic than 4k with high AA, but you're back to squinting your eyes. @ A Fork pretty much summed it up with the 'photo' part of that imperfect 'realism' being strived for.

More devs are increasingly trying to mimic the filmic look, and look for ways to keep the image from looking too 'clean' and 'uncanny', as in the art world that's considered too bland and boring. Adding CA is just the latest in the growing line of 'Hey, how can we make this look more like we actually filmed something?' Yeah, it was a good, well thought out post. It's sad devs think this way and that gamers actually think the shit looks cool. Don't see it either. Also many of those games on your list are among the best looking games ever made so I really don't know what you've been smoking.

That's completely ignoring the point. I didn't say these games are ugly. They would look even better without the obscuring filters. With CA: Without CA: Pay attention to the lock on the door.

With CA: Without CA: The chair edge is discolored with CA on. With CA: Without CA: I'm going to have to add myself to the list of people who can't see it. I can see it on the video you posted, but not on your screenshots. Then there is something wrong with you. I'm not even going to be nice about it. You have poor perception.

What really bothers me is how rude you have been about all this. It reeks of unnecessary elitism and is really unjustified. I dont doubt that it bothers you, and I generally think games should allow as much customization of the games graphics for those who care than not, but you're the one with the problem here, so dont be so hostile to us about it.
