SDL2 game is blurry on native Wayland

[slouken]

Hello, I'm not 100% sure if this is the right issue to ask, but we're having an issue where our SDL2 game looks sharp and pixel-perfect via xWayland on a Wayland session set to 125% scaling, but when running it in native Wayland mode, the game is now blurry. DPI scaling works correctly on Windows too. We're wondering if we're missing a hint or something to make sure the window is DPI aware on Linux with native Wayland. Could you point me in the right direction?

Hello, does you creating this issue mean this is a known issue with SDL2? Or do you need more details from me? Thanks!

Does your SDL2 game use SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI?

Does your SDL2 game use SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI?

We weren't using it, we were just using SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_DPI_AWARENESS, "permonitorv2") instead, which I realize now it's probably only for Windows? (Remember that it behaves correctly on Windows: the game is still sharp there)

In any case, I just tried adding the flag, and the issue still remains.

Let me know if you need me to test or check anything else.
