Why do images inside renpy seem to lose quality?

#1 Post by oldhiccup »

I have noticed that as much as my images are saved in high definition, renpy simply changes their quality, it is very frustrating, how do I maintain the real quality of the image?

Chances are what's happening is that the Ren'Py window has been resized, and your image is being scaled to compensate. Scaling an image always loses a bit of quality.


. This either happens becuase you resized the window, or because the window was too big to fit on the screen without being overlapped by the operating system. What you want to do is to go into preferences, click window, and make sure it's highlighted. If it never highlights, the problem is that your game is too big for your screen.

My current resolution is 3440 × 1440, I have an ultra wide.
My game follows the default configuration. 1280 x 720

even with the image resolution at 1280 x 720
or 3440 × 1440 I have the same loss of quality if I buy directly with the image for renpy.

But I believe it is something that I have to live with by the way.
Thanks :)
