[RESOLVED] GameEx Arcade Edition v18.10 - .APNG Files Display Issue

[scutters]

Update following private messaging;

Issue 1 - Flickering apngs in GameEx apps but the apng displays ok in browsers, irfanview etc

An update to the compression utility used by the app to build the apngs has fixed this. I assume there must be slightly different (maybe stricter?) rendering rules when displaying an apng in GameEx apps when compared to other display tools.

Issue 2 - Artifacts/Banding visible in some areas of apngs that are not visible in Chrome etc

Looks like this is caused if a main part of the image does not have a opacity/alpha value set at 255. This may be due to the front end 'layering' the images (some sort of alpha stacking?, not sure). Work around is to ensure the source images don't have a slight transparency inadvertently set.

 

Thanks @Draco1962 for all the assistance and patience getting there!

I have installed GameEx Arcade Edition v18.16 and MNGer confirming no issues so far with previously problematic APNG files in either. Marking as resolved! Time to get creating! Thanks @Tom Speirsfor fixing the issue within the frontend and player and @scutters for developing a great program and sticking with it and me to help find a resolution!
