Title: Freespace Open latest opening zoomed in
Post by: frostibittenyeti on May 18, 2014, 03:43:35 pm: Good evening everyone,

I have just installed Freespace Open using the latest installer. I chose the complete install. I have the gog version of freespace 2. All seems to have worked but when I open the game it's zoomed in to the top right corner so I can't see the whole screen. Vanila Gog version worked fine. Not sure what i'm doing wrong.

I am using the launcher and have browsed and selected fs2_open_3_7_0.exe but I have tried all the other EXE's in the folder and they do the same thing or crash.

I've tried different resolutions and messed about with my graphics settings but I can't get it to display properly. Even tried a different monitor as the one I was using was a TV. Didn't work on my standard monitor either.

I had the older version installed before this and that worked fine.

My graphics card is NVidia 560 Ti and I'm on Window 7 Ultimate 32bit.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Post by: frostibittenyeti on May 18, 2014, 04:33:32 pm: Thanks for the reply. I don't think i'm using Windows magnification and I'm sure my standard monitor does not have a high dpi. It's just a standard none HD monitor.

Post by: niffiwan on May 18, 2014, 05:03:15 pm: That's certainly weird. Could you answer a few more questions to assist in tracking down the issue?

1) What is your native monitor resolution?
2) Your log has the -window flag selected, have you tried without -window, or with -fullscreen_window?
3) Can you try adding "-res 1440x900" (or another preferred resolution) to the launchers' "Custom Flags"?
4) Lastly, could you please take a screenshot of the issue and attach it to a forum post?

Thanks

Post by: frostibittenyeti on May 18, 2014, 05:23:54 pm: My native resolution is 1440x900. I have tried in a window and full screen in a window and it does the same. I'll try the flag you suggested and get a screenshot for you.
Thanks again.

Post by: frostibittenyeti on May 20, 2014, 03:34:45 pm: Thank you all! You were indeed correct. My DPI was set to 150%. Setting to 100% solved my problem. Finally I can try out my new flight stick!
