Notes: Particle effects are rendering as squares
Picture review
minor: Quake II's demo level as it looks; the particles square; most shots show the key-binding menu (the player rebinding the shipped E/S/D/F movement to WASD)
| Stretched or squashed | no |
|---|---|
| Smallest text | 8 px at 1080p: the menus' and HUD's text (the key-binding list): the interface at scale 1 at 1080p |
| Mouse pointer | hidden |
| Picture defect | missing (PS3/Walnut only): round particles (blood, sparks, bullet trails) draw as squares: the RSX's Mesa driver lacks smooth points (the player; a Mesa fix in progress) |
