Windows 10: hi, i got new gaming pc in like 2 months and i have a problem with most of my games, a...

so it started with some games like "resident evil 7" and other like "silent hill 2 remake" most of times in "Minecraft" its like my resolution has so bad quality idk how to describe it its like the shadows are not working well and there pixels are teared like the first image and the worst part is the moving objects in the screen leave a trail of ruined pixels behind, i cant show it with a picture cause it needs to be in video while the object is moving or when I'm moving the screen, yah mostly when i move the screen in games almost everything leaves a black or bad pixels behind and if i zoom i

Problem with older games

1. If all else fails I suggest checking out VMware or VMbox the OS and then running the game on that OS. It is basically the same with DOSbox emulation for DOS games. 2. You could checkout this thing called "OpenALwEAX.exe" it allows various settings of cards from the early 2000's and before to function and give up to date support and fixes ( like true wide screen support ) along with enhanced graphics. 3. Program Compatibility is terrible. The best you could hope for is finding somebody to make a fix for the game "If they care" Games with dedicated fan bases like Tron 2.0 user Error ( you literally checkout the page listed with all the fixes and contact ) Sonic R ( Yes their is a PC game of the Saturn game ) Sonic CD ( yes their is a fix for that PC game as well ) Phantasy Star Online BB and Universe have a small community. ........... So far I have problems loading Prince of Persia 2000 games on my computer. AKA from the PS2/GCN age. Maybe I should try one of the fixes I advise you to checkout????

Game Hang on Launch with fresh PC, unique to 2 games, everything else works fine

I've been troubleshooting this for months because it's really annoying more than anything. I even built a completely brand new PC without reusing any parts just in case I had a hardware error. New Windows install and everything, nothing was reused.

This new PC literally has nothing on it aside from steam, the games, and the standard gaming stuff like nvidia's driver app, dx, etc. No third party programs at all. Firewall already configured to let everything through.

2 Games, FFXIV and Dota 2 randomly start hanging when I try to launch them. The task manager shows very low CPU usage (less than 1%) until it finally "catches up" and launches the games. This brings the CPU usage up to normal amounts you'd expect from a game running.

The longer my PC stays idle, the more of a chance there is for the game to hang on launch, but sometimes they hang when only starting the PC. Restarting the PC usually fixes the hang, or I can wait up to 10 minutes for the game to load.

The only similarity I could think of between these 2 games (since Dota2 launches through steam, but ffxiv launches independently of steam) is that they both run dx11. I've changed the dx version they run, even tried vulkan instead for dota and the lag remained. Other dx11 games such as witcher3 do not hang on launch ever. dx12 and dx9 games work as well, I've tried about 30 different games while these 2 were hanging and never had an issue. Furthermore when launching the actual games, there is no performance degradation, so they seem to run correctly once they actually start up.

I am rather tech savvy and this is the 6th pc build I've made, i usually am able to google every question, but this has eluded me. I even paid an independent tech support guy to take a look at my last pc and he couldn't find anything related to it.

There are no dump files or crash reports. The PC doesn't notice anything wrong in event viewer or the games' own debug lists. I have even tried resetting to previous versions of windows 10, but haven't had any results. I don't even remember when this started, likely around august 2018 if i had to guess, but it has been a while. My 3rd PC in my house is the one my gf uses and it is running very similar stuff and DOESN'T have this issue at all. Only difference i can think of is I use 21:9 monitor (single) for my pcs, but she has a single 4k monitor, all are connected with display port.

Nothing is overclocked, it's all stocked.
