OpenGL fullscreen issue

Hey, i couldn't find anything about my issue, so i'm posting it here. I have several OpenGL games, like Runescape and Baldur's Gate which all have problems regarding OpenGL. I found out that OpenGL does run only in windowed mode, but for some games i have no way of trying to change settings, when i only have a black screen with few blobs of white. I am on the current Radeon driver 24.10.1 in Windows 10 Home 64-bit and my GPU is the RX 6800. Has anyone else had an issue similiar to mine? Trying to open RunescapeTrying to open Runescape

The image linked is the state of runescape on  my pc.

@nopls Could you try the latest 24.12.1 Adrenalin driver?

If this issue still be observed on the latest driver, Could you please share the Display Settings and provide the models + screen resolution? How many displays are you using, HDMI or DP? Provide more useful/detailed information about this issue will help us reproduce this issue and confirm if it is the OpenGL driver causing it.

Hi, thank you for the reply. I did manage to get OpengGL to run, by changing my registry regarding the opengl driver. I downloaded the 23.3.1 drivers, extracted the opengl drivers and then redirected the opengl related registry keys to point to the old drivers. I did also before this update to the latest driver, but it neither did anything to fix my issues. I'll check the information you asked me and reply it in the next post

Here's my display settings, though i do have to apologize beforehand, as my system is in finnish:

The "Skaalaus ja asettelu" are the DPI-settings. Here's my second display:

My screen models are: TUF Gaming VG27AQ, and LG 55LA860W-ZA. The Asus display is connected with a DP cable, while the television is connected by a HDMI  cable. You can also spot the display resolutions in my provided pictures.

@nopls internally we unable to reproduce this issue.
Maybe you could share some recorded video of the issue(s)?

besides:
- your CPU

- in-game graphics settings (if not the default)

- in-Adrenalin-Panel settings (if not the default)

- Could you please try run the game with only one display physically connected to the GPU?

- Could you please try different cable type used (DisplayPort / HDMI)?

My CPU is an Ryzen 7700X, Ingame settings were unkown to me when i had the current OpenGL driver installed, as the game literally did not load correctly if it was in fullscreen mode. If the game was forced into windowed through manually editing settings though, it would work normally.

These are my main monitor settings in the radeon software. Again, i apologize due to having my settings in finnish. I've also noticed random crashes on the older Radeon OpenGL drivers, where i get the radeon error message saying my drivers crashed. Maybe next time i should send it in? I didn't do it last time as information regarding a year old driver probably won't help you to fix it.

 

I'll test games without my second display plugged in. Do you happen to know what the default value for

"OpenGLVendorName" and "OpenGLVendorNameWoW", so i could switch them back to the new driver for more testing?

Did you try using HDMI port of your monitor, and then launching OpenGL games in fullscreen?

I didn't, as the error seemed to be a driver issue. Again, the OpenGL games did launch in windowed, but would when turned to full-screen turn my game window black. I did hear the audio, so the game wasnt completely dead.

@nopls  there are some user reported the black screen issue in fullscreen mode recently, there are severial similarities

(1) Working in Adrenaline 24.5.1

(2) related to monitor overlock mode, It is usually set via the physical control buttons on the monitor, rather than through the operating system.

 

so could you do some test and tell us the results?  

(1) Testing 1:  install latest Adrenaline 24.12.1 driver, use one monitor + fullscreen mode + HDMI + disable overlock mode

(2) Testing 2: tried to fully uninstall the driver with either AMD Cleanup Utility  or DDU , and install the Adrenaline 24.5.1, testing

 

Provide more useful/detailed information about this issue will help us reproduce and fix it quickly, Thanks.
