Server Version#:plexmediaserver_1.22.3.4392-d7c624def_amd64 Player Version#:Plex-1.29.1.1974-a65b3ef3-x86_64 In anticipation of travel, I wanted to try PLEX on a Windows 10 system. Windows 10 system has an EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 graphics card with the ‘latest’ drivers installed. Stuff seems t…

The 3.0 surface format was added to address an error we discovered playing HDR content on Open GL 2.0 surfaces. There’s a way out. First please ensure your graphics card drivers and Direct X are fully updated. If that didn’t help you can try forcing an earlier surface format using the directions be…

Still waiting: is Plex fixing this or do we have to wait until eternity?

Same issue. No amount of reinstalling, file deleting, and rebooting helped. Had to roll back.

Adding the line to the ini file worked for me as well. I just wish it hadn’t taken a month before Plex acknowledged the issue and responded with a workaround. . I suspect this issue will have affected anyone on a windows 10 pc with older graphic chip set for which there are no newer drivers. P…

As I mentioned before this is a difficult area for us to regression test. We need feedback to understand exactly which hardware is involved. The plex.ini workaround will only necessary temporarily. We’ll include detection to fallback to older surface formats. What we really need is affected users…

Hi. I’ll apologize to the Plex Support Employees now. I didn’t see / find this Forum before creating my own issue. This is exactly what is happening to me. I was just about to look for the previous Plex for Windows version/exe in my downloads but will attempt the suggested ini file fix. Thank y…
