After update, the game won't run full screen on my ASUS Zenbook I bought last year. Its either a box with black bars on the right and left or a tiny screen in the center of my windows screen, with some of it chopped off at the bottom and top and left and right. I just updated to the latest version 16.03 and this happened. Depending on what resolution I choose for windows, I get more options to select the size of the screen to view, but it boils down to just two options really (mentioned above). It seems like the video drivers are second guessing each other.

I have the new Strat World at War and it loads full screen, normal.

Hi Zuxius,

Can you tell me what resolution you are running your laptop at? Also can you tell me if you are running with any scaling?

This info can be found by following these steps outlined in the article below:

https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/4597/windows-10-feature-focus-display-scaling

Another player had a similar issue and this is what he did to resolve the problem, perhaps it will help for you as well:

What I did to resolve the problem (for anybody else in the same boat) was to change the scaling to 100%, turn the game on, turn it off, change the scaling back to 150% and turn the game back on again.

Now it works as it should again - case closed (or so I hope).
