Title: UHD 4K resolution
Post by: Herkyman on June 07, 2014, 11:05:28 am
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?

Specs:
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit

Intel Core i7 3770K @ 3.50GHz

RAM: 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3

MOBO: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P8Z77-V LK (LGA1155)

Video: 4096MB ATI AMD Radeon R9 200 Series (Sapphire/PCPartner)

Monitor: Samsung U28D590 (3840x2160@60Hz)

HD's: 119GB OCZ-AGILITY4 (SSD)
         931GB Seagate ST31000528AS (SATA)

DVD drive

Sound: SB X-FI Titanium HD

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.

This worked perfectly! Thanks!
