[M] Rendering. Resolution changes makes transparent objects black

[iramzeka]

Description:
Setting the screen resolution lower than the default in windowed and windowed borderless mode, restarting the client, returning to native mode causes an issue with rendering transparent objects. They turn black.

Device and OS:
Desktop PC - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - 16 GB RAM - 512 SSD M2 - GTX1650S
Windows 11 Home 22H2, 22621.3737

Build:
ClientVersion=4314 | ServerVersion=4314 | 22 June 2024 – 21:12:18 UTC | #14806022

Graphic Settings:
1920x1080
DX11
Advanced - All the properties are disabled or low
Game Screen Render Quality - 100%
Changes to reproduce: Use custom resolution - from 1920x1080 to any lower in windowed and windowed borderless mode

Steps:
1. Start the client
2. Go to the settings - Video - Use Custom Resolution - Choose Windowed or Windowed borderless mode - Set resolution lower than before - Apply Settings
3. Restart the client
4. Go to the settings - Video - Use Native Resolution - Apply Settings
5. Start the match (not recommended ) or Hero Sandbox
ER: all the transparent objects are rended normally
AR: all the transparent objects are black (like Cosmic Veil, Haze's Smoke Bomb, Kelvin's Frost Shelter, Paradox's Time Wall, any Stealth Effect)
P.S. changing the rendering settings is taking a screenshot of your current rendered screen and replaces the black texture using it.

Confirmed, can re-create on my machine. This can be easily cleared by restarting the client after applying the native settings.

This happened to me in the exact same way. I thought my client was having some texture glitch and I was about to reinstall the game, until I found this thread when searching.

Happened to me as well. Would like to add console output here.
