If you run THUGPRO as admin AND in Windows XP (Service Pack 3) compatibility mode on Windows 10, the blur bug from THUG2 comes back.

I'm guessing THUG PRO uses the traditional fix (editing a specific script as well as making a dummy of qc_scripts.pre) but I really do not understand how running the game's exe file as an admin and setting it to run in windows XP compatibility mode is able to trigger this bug again.

The blur is like that on anything after Windows XP. That's why it's disabled in THUGPRO because it's buggy on newer systems.

It's the magic of the THUGPRO devs I guess?

Here's your answer.

Older versions of thugpro had two "blur fixes".

One was just commenting out a single line in the scripts. So that the blur function never gets called.

And second one in the our dll. It does a similar thing with memory patching. But its only enabled if the os is windows vista or above.

Well, this definitely makes much more sense now. The only mystery is what part of Vista, 7, 8 & 10 is causing it.

That's a mystery.
People said that it could've been the Windows Aero theme (the transparent glass-looking one) but Windows 8 & 10 don't have that.
