I have to say, you guys are the best. I had a "NO DC" watermark over my wickrme program. No idea how it got there. Google searches were useless, till I checked here. I never would've thought it was my nvidia card settings. I just switched from RBG to YCBCR color space and hit apply to each, then left it on YCBR. The watermark disappeared. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how that watermark got there, or even what it meant. I was gonna do a full reinstall but fought the urge LOL. Again, thanks!

navigate to "C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\Drs" and deleting the file named "nvdrssel.bin"
I had the NO DC issue on third party applications like Yuzu and Ryujinx, I didn't notice it on any Ren'Py games I have played but it was definitely caused by one of them and the NVIDIA overlay going crazy.

Is there any permanent solution to this? This "no dc" thing reappears after launching random renpy games, I'm getting tired of deleting that file.

It only appeared for me after first launching the latest midlife crisis build.

No clue. I found the solution on reddit and just put it here to help people out. It hasnt popped back up for me yet but when it does or if it does, I will make sure to let you know the solution.

Go to Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3d Settings > Restore

Not sure if someone else mentioned it here yet, but this is the easiest method I found
This one worked for me, I was not only seeing this in Ren'py games but it also appeared in Photoshop. It's gone now

I found a reddit thread related to this topic a while back. Best advice they had was to go into

ProgramData (hidden folder) -> NVIDIA Coporation -> Drs

and delete the file "nvdrssel.bin". I did this and it worked, buuuuuut it's only temporary

Edit: just realized people have already mentioned this

I tried the Shift+G and went from Auto to Force Angle, now all I get is a black screen. Cant even shift+g or anything to try to fix it... any ideas on what I should do next? Also all my other games are fine its just the one I did it with (My Employee Family)

Only thing that comes to mind is if you delete the entire folder along with the save folder, and replace it with a fresh copy.
