Honestly the site is kind of useless, every time I look at it games that work perfectly out of the box with no changes will practically say that they don't work at all and vice versa games that don't work at all will say they run without issue.
Not to mention the amount of people putting literally fucking hundreds of completely worthless flags that actually do literally nothing whatsoever in the code swearing left right and Center that it does something. I kind of wish that site would just disappear
That is....not my experience. I've had a lot of issues that tips/flags helped clear up
Usually it's one flag that actually does something, surrounded by about 8 to 9 flags that do absolutely nothing. "flag soup" as developers like to call it. People add all of them at once and so they assume all of them are doing something when in reality only one of them did anything at all
I definitely believe that. you're using filters to cater to your setup, right? Typically if I set those filters I look for the simplest tips and try those. At least half the time it works first try (these are only cases where the game needed tinkering to get working properly)
Have you tried those flags tho?
No need, you can just look at the source code and see that that flag is not defined anywhere. It's not going to do anything it's not even being parsed it's just getting ignored. The creator of dxvk complains about this all the time. People piling on completely useless or redundant flags and spreading them everywhere.
I dunno man, can't know unless you try the flags. Might work. It worked for that guy.
Would be a nice feature if the UI could surface those useless flags somehow, assuming that's possible
