I see that this post is very old, but I’ve searched everywhere for this bug and everyone keeps saying that I have to put the game in windowd. But in this certain game that i’m playing it will mess up the quality and everything.

I went to the properties and then went to compatibility, but I cant seem to find any: “Disable desktop composition”.
