Hi Everyone!
First of all we are sorry for any problems you might have had with Action! after upgrading to the latest 24H2 Windows 11 version. This update is very big and changes a lot in Windows architecture (that's why there are words it should be called Windows 12).
Most of the Windows 11 display core has changed and the desktop no longer uses a "swap chain" presentation model. Instead Direct Display is now used and allows direct rendering of desktops with any framerate to the display devices. Also multiplane overlays are now used on all supporting hardware (you can check for MPO3 support in Dxdiag application for you GPU).
Some of you may know what Multiplane overlays are and what headache they can cause (including game flickering/crashing etc.). Since there is no official information on how to disable MPO in the system (there was a magic registry key but it is not working anymore) we are going to provide a small app called MPOOFF that can disable Multiplane Overlays deep in the system. It will be available for download on our Remotly product website remotly.com soon (on the community page).
How Multiplane overlays work? In short these are hardware accelerated graphics/video planes that are composed using special hardware offloading GPU 3D core. In the past this composing was done in DWM (Desktop Window Manager) using 3D shaders, sharing processing power with 3D apps and games.
Below please find all fixes for 24H2 included in version 4.43.0:
- Fixed HUD in desktop mode (fix for Windows 11 24H2 update)
