Title: Weird Screen Cutoff
Post by: Frak_Tastic on December 08, 2015, 04:57:18 pm

Hi Everyone - apologies if this issue isn't specific but my screen resolution seems to be wrong.  My desktop is maxed at 1920 x 1080 (ViewSonic VX 2770 series monitor) and the video card is updated (Radeon 6800 series).  The WX launcher matches these settings, but it's cutting off the bottom of the screen in the game.  I tried changing a few resolution settings in the launcher and the desktop but i can't seem to fix it.

Any ideas?

Try setting the resolution in wxLauncher manually.

i.e. add -res 1920x1080 to the Custom flags (advanced settings tab)

It might also be (some very slight) DPI scaling; try disabling that if niffiwan's suggestion has no effect.

The extra flag did the trick, thanks niffiwan!  WIH looks great on the new monitor.

Do either of you think I should make a bug report?

There's a semi-known issue with Windows 10 & wxLauncher not setting the resolution properly. But there doesn't yet seem to be an official bug report for that on github (https://github.com/scp-fs2open/wxLauncher/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+resolution) so it's probably worth reporting it there.
