The Powder Toy

The pixels and text look different

    The pixels on my screen look different along with the text for saves and the pictures for the saves look blurry kinda. This happened after i installed the newest version from the website. Is this new look a part of the update? If not please help...

    Do you use fullscreen? Try going into options and clicking "Change Resolution"

    Oh yeah, whenever I click that it makes my screen black and I have to wait for my homescreen to come back then my background is black (usually have a turtle lol) and closes out tpt

    What OS do you use?

    What if you click that first, then click "fullscreen"? "Change Resolution" is basically the old fullscreen, but I have it disabled by default. Clicking it should make fullscreen work exactly like before ...

    Oh, nice. Care to say what fixed it? Did it just randomly fix itself?

    I think what I did was run an old version I had from 2011 (like powder 50.6 I think), update it, and then click off of fullscreen(it was already fullscreen) and click change resolution and after that click fullscreen again. 

     

    I really don't know exactly what went wrong in the beginning, I think it had to do with security, but i've loaded the game now multiple times and everything seems to be in working order. Thanks again!

    Same issue as Velocity, there's some sort of weird anti-anti-aliasing going on (even with old fullscreen enabled) ; some pixels are stretched, others compressed, etc. Imagine a Flash game with the quality set to "low".
