So I downloaded the game, having never played it, and it...doesn't really work.
I load in, and the screen si shifted incredibly far to the right! The start menu words are at the very right side of the screen, slightly clipped.
I can make it into settings, and the resolution seems to be set to a 5;4 ratio on start up, for some ungodly reason, though my default screen resolution is 1920/1080.
I can change the screen resolution in the settings...but the screen is shifted too far for me to click "accept" or whatever is over there (I've never seen over there, so I'm not exactly sure what it says). I can tell it to default, which turns the resolution to a mildly more respectable ratio, but, again, I cannot actually accept changes.

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.
If it doesn't help:
Please post your fs2_open.log file. Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

I think JickOShadows is talking about MCO, not FSO :)

Yes, I was referring to MCO. I apologize for not specifying.

Posting in the MCO forum was specification enough; you didn't do anything wrong.
Some people just look at "all unread topics" and don't notice where the thread was posted; it was an honest mistake.
That being said, you could try disabling DPI scaling and see if it works for MCO, too.

Ok, I will try that. Thanks guys.

Sweet! That DID work!
Thanks a lot guys!
Sorry I asked a question that was already answered. I had looked before posting, but hadn't seen that fix.
