Title: Aspect/Resolution problem (screen is "off")
Post by: wide_ocean on September 04, 2014, 07:49:21 am
Hi and thanks for all the instructions and work that were put into this.

When launching at 1920 x 800 16:9, the image is off center and outside of the borders of the monitor.. yeah I'm good at describing things (please see attachment(s)).

This is on a Windows 8.1 64 laptop, nVidia GTX 770M, GeForce 340.52.

Please let me know if you need more information.

Apologies in advance if the issue is treated elsewhere - I couldn't find relevant threads.

Cheers

According to your log:
Initializing OpenGL graphics device at 1920x1080 with 32-bit color...

You are not operating at 1920 x 800

In compatibility options, (right click the exe and the debug exe and under properties find compatibility)  disable the dpi scaling dealio (forget the exact term, but fso currently doesn't know how to handle it).

Yeah that was a mistake, it's 1920 X 1080.

Sexcellent, that did it, thank you.
