Reproduction steps 复现步骤

1. Install https://vndb.org/r37327
2. Add a profile for the game and enable the "Auto scale when in foreground" option.
3. Skip until you see the first option in the game. After the first option, any time an in-game "video" ends, Magpie stops scaling the game window and does not start re-scaling it again without game window losing and re-gaining the focus.

I tried to change the following settings but they didn't solve the problem: "Capture method", "3D game mode", "Disable window resizing while scaling", "Capture title bar", "Disable DirectFlip".

In case it's useful: Magpie v0.9.1 auto re-scales the aforementioned game's window after it stops scaling it. v0.10.0 onwards though it doesn't, as shown in the video.

Where can I get a copy of the game? It looks like there's a trial version available, but I can't find the download link.

The trial version can be downloaded from: http://suezou.dyndns.org/dl2011/jellyfish/sisters/SISTERS_PLAYABLE_DEMO.zip

But I can't reproduce the problem with the trial version, it seems pretty different from the Ultra Edition. I can send some links about the Ultra Edition to your e-mail address if you don't mind sharing it.

I couldn't reproduce the issue with the trial version either. I plan to implement persistent scaling in the future, so I don't want to spend too much time on this issue right now. Thank you for reporting it!

What does that entail exactly? Would it also solve #538?

Sounds reasonable, I will just use the Magpie v0.9.1 for this specific game.

Thank you for reporting it!

Thank you for developing this marvelous tool.

The plan is to maintain scaling even when switching windows, allowing the scaling window to stay in the background (the scaling window is not top-most anymore). Once implemented, this should resolve all unexpected scaling interruptions. This feature might be introduced alongside windowed mode.

This will be awesome! I'm facing the same issue with multiple games in TeknoParrot (it's an arcade emulator) where the game window is clearly in the foreground but Magpie still doesn't upscale it, unless I use the shortcut to force the window to upscale. Is there an ETA for this new feature to be released? Thanks.
