Title: resolution
Post by: leoben on March 31, 2015, 09:42:38 pm

Does FSO have a command line for setting the resolution manually? For some reason, no matter what resolution I set in wxlauncher, it massively overscans the game. Whether it's in FS, FS windowed or windowed mode, it always overscans. I wonder if setting the resolution through command line would help?

I'm running a Radeon R9 295X2 (mGPU) on a 4K MST monitor. Halp!

When I set it to run in windowed mode, the window is always of a larger resolution than the one specified in the launcher. If I set 3840x2160 (standard native 4K) in windowed mode, the window doesn't fit on the screen, so it's either rendering at a higher resolution, or zooming in and increasing the window size.

yep, you can use: -res 1920x1080 (replace with your desired resolution).  Or if its a DPI issue you're probably out of luck and will need to change back to 96DPI in order for everything to work correctly.

**** - it was the dpi setting. Forgot about that.

Interesting, I just had this very same problem today, out of the blue. I fixed it by using -res flag

However, for future reference, what's this DPI thing, and how can I change it?
