I put a green arrow to point it out. I'm not sure what I done to cause this to popup and have no idea what ```NO DC ``` is referencing. Anyone have an idea or solution to remove this? It's on renpy editor and builds. Shows up at launch and acts like overlay of sorts. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. Seems to be a renpy file issue.

Not renpy-only it seems.

Probably some driver/abstraction layer.

I'm not grumpy, I'm just coded that way.

I assumed that by "Ren'py editor" you mean the SDK, and tried all of them from the 7.0.0 to the final 7.4.2 built, without noticing this "NO DC" thing. So you'll have to tell more if you want some help.

The only thing I can say is that it's not wrote with a ttf/otf font, but clearly with a system font. But if it was directly the OS, it would trigger a dialog box and not write some none explicit information on a client area. Therefore the problem is more deep, and probably related to a driver or something like that ; an API function would return data, not write on the client area.

Anyway, just showing a screenshot and saying "hey, why do I have this", will rarely lead to an answer.

It was a rendering issue... It's fixed now... So... yeah.

I've seen people today encountering the same thing in Photoshop, Daz3D and other applications.

Whatever it is/was, it isn't strictly a RenPy issue.
I'm sure Reddit already has the answer... I just don't have the patience to go find out what it is.

I had the same issues as well, Its appears to be a OpenGL issue as it also appears in Java Minecraft.

I'm not sure of the proper Fix however I did happen to fix it for Nvidia graphics cards.

Go to Nvidia Control, Manage 3D Settings, and Click Restore then apply

it is no longer showing on any Renpy games or Minecraft so it appears to have fixed it
not sure what setting in 3D setting caused the issue if anyone knows please let me know

Hope this helps
