Desktop is set to 3840x2160, 50 Hz... I expect games to respect that preference.

First Launch:
-------------

01/30/2021 03:46:07.390: [Swap Chain] +-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Resolution. | 4096x2160 @ 60.00 Hz | | Format..... | DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM | | Buffers.... | 3 | | MSAA....... | Not Used (or Offscreen) | | Mode....... | Windowed | | Scaling.... | Unspecified | | Scanlines.. | Unspecified | | Flags...... | 0x0002 | | SwapEffect. | Sequential | +-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+ Game decides I want a 4096x2160 window @ 60 Hz because that's the highest supported mode on my system.
+ Game decides I want fullscreen exclusive, and proceeds to engage a fullscreen mode switch on first launch.

>> BAD, BAD, BAD. Stop it!

+ Game applies top-most window style in windowed mode, making it impossible to use other applications
+ Game has DPI scaling issues
+ Game forces Windows 8 compatibility mode

--- Engine has the SAME RESOURCE MANAGEMENT BUG (reference count underflow) AS ALL YAKUZA GAMES EVER RELEASED ON PC. FIX YOUR DAMN ENGINE SEGA (!!!!!!)

----

TL;DR: This quality of this port is completely unacceptable.

Do NOT buy this crap, I am tired of these lousy Yakuza ports and this has to end. SEGA needs to hire a port studio that knows what they are doing.

These days if a japanese port actually runs I consider it a success. They've got nothing on tecmo lol

At 60 Hz it has less impact on brightness. You get higher contrast HDR @ 50 Hz (on an OLED anyway, with the power-limiting ABL working against you).

Why would you want black frame insertion at 50hz? You would want it at 60hz.

And I'm not nitpicking anything. 1) the fullscreen mode switch failed in the first place, 2) always use the user's desktop refresh rate unless they ask for a change (it prevents #1 from occurring)

@Majesco: Because I prefer the flicker of 50 Hz Black Frame Insertion

50 hz? lmao, now you're just looking for things to nitpick

Why would you want 50hz?
