NO DC sign problem [Fixed]

[Chomba]

Hi all, this is a strange "problem" that I never had and I couldn't find any previous information on the forum.

It turns out that today I opened AGS as usual, but when starting the game test I noticed that a sign appears  that wasn't there before (actually it's just letters).

The letters say "NO DC", which I have no idea what it means.

These letters are always in the same position, whether it's fullscreen or windowed mode (if windowed mode is at the right resolution, they print over the game image, in the screenshot below it's on fullscreen, which leaves black borders on the sides).

The strange thing is that now they also print on all the versions of the game I already had compiled as well.

I'm using version 3.6.0

(This is the screenshot of my game, it doesn't happen in other people's games made in ags)

Does it matter what graphics driver are you using? What operating system you are running the game on?

Idk if related, the only "DC" I may think of in regards to the engine is "device context"...

No, it appears no matter what graphics driver I assign to it.

What operating system you are running the game on?

Windows 10

Found this by googling for "windows 10 no dc"

Not read it all through yet, but apparently this is caused by Nvidia drivers.

Thanks CW!

I went down the rabbit hole and after a lot of back and forth I managed to fix it.
As I couldn't find the *.bin that apparently had to be deleted to fix the problem I had to keep looking.

Yes indeed. i found that resetting (restoring) the global 3d settings from the nvidia control panel could fix it. And it did! (just make sure that the changes are applied)


PD: I'm going to change the title of the topic so that if someone has the same problem they can find the solution more easily.
