Links Corner Forum

Anything with higher resolution could be of interest in the wider community. OK I think I am at a point where I think I know what is going on with NIS (Nvidia Image Scaling) via the GPU. Links sets the input for the displaydepending on what resolution is set - in my case 1920 x 1080 (mode 14 displa...

So you are using Nvidia to scale the image rather than the CPU. This raises the question as to in Links do you have it set to Windowed or full screen mode, If Links is set to full screen mode then I would think Links may be doing something to scale the image, given that it uses that setting when re...

I would be inclined to try 1920 x 1080 upscaled as that is the same aspect ratio as your monitor. Just an update of what I've done recently that has seen some progress: TBH I've never quite understood exactly what is going on with the general term 'scaling' but I had a slight lightbulb moment last ...

I would be inclined to try 1920 x 1080 upscaled as that is the same aspect ratio as your monitor. The Ryzen is unknown to me, so something about it or its configuration etc could be a factor. On my own Windows notebook I am suspect about the Intel GPU drivers could be causing me problems. Des Yes I...

DirectX 9 is still supported on Windows today, so the System Info showing that is not a surprise. I am at a loss to know what it is on your system that is causing the issue . However I have only used Links with Intel processors, also I have not used an AMD/ATI GPU for quite some years, in recent ti...

I think there are two different sides here, what version calls Links is using and what version is supported by the system and drivers. DirectX is generally backward compatible but some vendors appear to be more compatible than others. Links2003 on my Windows 11 system reports the system info as (Di...

I think it has me beat. my procedure was: Disconnected internet. I used the spreadsheet to track down possible conflicts or files left over from an old installation but couldn't find anything. Installed Links 2003 from CD's to Windows 10 installed 1.07 Patch as admin installed Nvidea patch as admin...

I have similar issues and can no longer get Links 2003 to load. I installed via CD's Patched to v1.7 All I get is a small black window screen then "not responding" Can't change display modes in registry either as it doesn't exist - very strange. I thought it was the latest AMD Adrenalin D...

It is the "after a number of retries it works" that has me head scratching. It is most uncomputer like, some intermittent faults can be understood as there are trigger conditions that occurs at some point, but loading a program should be fairly consistent. In the case of Links you are alw...

I also think Links looks better on my 1920 x 1200 screen rather than my 1920 x 1080. Alas I am limited as to what screens I can use with what systems so cannot have the optimal setup. You are certainly getting some unusual results, it is a head scratcher. Just finished playing 9 holes with 'The Chi...
