Just installed the latest V5 beta and been getting some weird visual effects when moving the mouse between the view wndows. Attaching the images below. Linux Mint Cinnamon. This did not happen with V4.

Hi retrolenzil, inside MOI go to Options > General > "Edit .ini file" button.

Then inside moi.ini find the line with GraphicsAPI=Auto which is inside the [View] section, and try setting it to OpenGL like this:

GraphicsAPI=OpenGL

You can also try GraphicsAPI=Direct3D11 or GraphicsAPI=Direct3D9

Do any of those make a difference?

Hi Michael,

Changed it to OpenGL, seems to have worked. I'll have play around with it a bit more and if it happens again I'll try the other two options too.

Cheers.

Hi retrolenzil, that's great - the default changed from moi v4 to v5 from OpenGL to Direct3D11 because that seemed to work better for more people.

But it can depend on the version of Wine and your GPU driver.
