Skewed Area in Game

[CmdrKeene]

Trying the new Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster version, and it looks and runs so perfectly, except the ammo/status at the bottom corners of the screen are skewed in a bad way.

Let me know if you can see this screenshot, but the indicators at the bottom corners are skewed to the point where they are not unusable. I've tried every display mode and various resolutions without success. Intel Iris Xe graphics.

Hello CmdrKeene, 

Thank you for posting in our Intel communities.

To help me further identify the problem and offer you a solution, kindly provide the following details:

• When did the issue start? And was the game working fine before?
• Please generate an SSU report to help me further analyze important details on your system, such as the OS build number, graphics driver version, errors logged in the system, etc. To generate the SSU report, please refer to the article How to Get the Intel® System Support Utility Logs on Windows. Please send us the generated SSU.txt file.
• What troubleshooting have you already performed? so we can avoid recommending it again.

Thank you, and have a great day ahead!

This is a new game I just purchased, so I've never had it work previously. It was exhibiting this behavior on my first use.

I contacted the game developers about it also but they have not responded yet.

Honestly the only troubleshooting I could think to try was using different display modes (Windowed, full screen borderless, different game resolutions). None helped. I also tried updating my intel graphics drivers (there was a new update available) but it also didn't help.

Hello CmdrKeene, 

Thank you so much for the response.

Upon checking your graphics driver, it is still on version 31.0.101.4953. We have our new release, which is the 

31.0.101.5382, please install it on your system and check if the issue still persists.

Furthermore, please follow the troubleshooting steps outlined on the link below for a possible solution:

Found solution in Steam community: Garbled HUD in hardware rendering mode :: STAR WARS™: Dark Forces Remaster General Discussions (steamcommunity.com)

The solution was to add this as a launch parameter of the game to force Direct 3D11 renderer instead of Vulkan.
