Integer scaling for games

[gochev]

This app is great period to use HiDPi with custom resolutions is amazing , however:

if you try to play games on a Mac the experience is really bad, even if you use gpt or crossover most games are playable at max of 1080p which is a shame since they works great there but looks bad. The situation is bad since most Mac users never have 1080p screen instead they have 4k or even more.

the reason for the bad looking I guess is how the resolution is scaled to have nice fonts and etc which makes the game think it is 1080p screen but since it’s not a monitor scaling happens that makes everything near pixel scaling method ugly.

on Windows - amd and nvidia you can enable integer scaling so each pixel for example will be scaled exactly 4 times from 1080p to 4k and you get a crisp image that looks like you are on 1080p native screen.

I would buy the better display twice if it has an option for integer scaling of resolutions so I can switch from HiDPi scaling to integer scaling before play a game

I can add this for display streaming. For games to work with this, you'll need to create a virtual screen, run the game on that screen and stream the screen's contents to your real screen (which is exactly set to native HiDPI resolution) or a PIP window which is appropriately sized.
