Hi!

Finally after a few hours reading around and trying what the forums suggested I was able to get FS2 to run. All good.

Question: My native screen resolution is 3840 X 2160. I see it in the launcher. If I select it, when game start, is like the window is much bigger than my screen. Can't get it to work even in windowed mode. All the SELECT buttons are off screen so I can't do anything. Looks like the right side and bottom part of game are off the screen.

Works fine in 1920 X 1080 and it looks purty.

But curious as if there is a way to make the game fit in the screen at screen's native resolution?

Please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

This is a known issue. When you have desktop magnification active in Windows, FSO will be scaled up; You will need to right-click on the fs2_open executable, go to properties, open the Compatibility tab, and check the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" checkbox.

Except it works fine in 1920x1080 without changing any other settings? That sounds... odd.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<IronWorks> I am useful for FSO stuff again. This is a red-letter day!

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

 
well what do you expect from windows
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

This worked perfectly! Thanks!
