Plus the code added complexity that sometimes introduced bugs when making other changes.

In theory, the worst that should happen is that things might get slower.

What this probably means is that some AMD drivers are mishandling RGBA, or else some combination of settings. It might be doable to reintroduce BGRA, but it'd be best to figure out exactly when we need to enable it, because it's pretty decently slower on more modern NVIDIA cards.

With that said, many Windows games use Direct3D 11 - have you tried switching to the Direct3D 11 backend? I would expect it to work better for AMD and Intel cards.

success! sorry i took so long i didn't know/get an email i had another response since your message wasn't a reply to any of mine. anyways i tried the newest build with default settings except i chose Direct3D 11 backend and it works just fine (blue dialogue box and all). thank you so much for your time and response.

so for future i should just stay with using D3D 11 if im using an AMD or Intel card? and you said you would expect it to work better, is that glitch wise or performance wise or both? thanks again in advance.
