Resolution Problem - 2/13/2014 2:24:27 PM

Status: offline 		Is 2560x1440 supported?

Game loads off-center, with bottom and right edges of game panel off screen.

Tried the hotfix but no change.

Editing res.dat works in the sense that the game runs in an off-center window smaller than my desktop. Editing to enter 2560x1440 just results in the default problem. Closest I can get to full screen is 1920x1080.

Is there no way to either (a) run at 2560x1440 or (b) expand a lower resolution to full screen?

Running Windows 8.1 and current (non-beta) Nvidia driver.

Feels like I'm playing a game from GOG.

Status: offline 		Looks like they're centered on the graphic but not your screen. So it's probably just a dumb math error on the scaling. I'm still running at 1280x1024 like a peon. Should be an easy fix.

Status: offline 		Those buttons are definitely specifically placed in the center of the screen, so it apparently thinks your X size is (well) over 2560. I see from the screenshot you are running the hotfix version, which also happens to leave a logfile behind. Can you email me the log.txt file from the game directory? Thanks. Email is tomp@matrixgames.com

That's the answer! Setting my font to the smallest setting solved the problem.

Status: offline 		Which font size is this? Windows UI size? I have that set to 125% on my laptop with no problem, wonder if it's different for Win 8 for some reason.

I'm running Windows 8.1. I changed the font setting in the Control Panel to the smallest setting.

I've never seem that setting affect a game this way, either, but that changed fixed it.

EDIT: Just tinkered with that setting a bit. Increasing the font size increases the size of the game window. At the largest font setting, the game window is HUGE.

Status: offline 		I am experiencing the same problems with Win 8.1 at resolution 1920x1080, but I am reluctant to modify the Windows system font (afraid of screwing up my desktop).

Will there be a way to fix the resolution issue without changing the Windows system font size?

The font setting is just a slider. You can move it back to its original setting after playing the game.

I think they've fixed this problem for the next patch.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I know that it's just this slider, but if I am not mistaken, the slider also changes the size of desktop icons / icon titles, and therefore the alignment of the icons.

Status: offline 		Leave it to Microsoft to "help" out by defaulting Win8 to the 125% font size. That has caught a number of developers (including our team) off balance. There are a couple of other items like media players and depricated audio/video codices thrown in making life difficult.

Status: offline 		The annoying thing is that my laptop on Win 7 is at 125% and it works fine there, so it's apparently a Win 7 to 8 change.
