Resolution Problem

Post by robertbb99 »

running windows 7 64 bit. all of my video drivers and other drivers are up to date. my monitor is a hd 1920 X 1080 resolution. no mater what resolution I run the game in (in full screen mode) the bottom of the sreen is cut off so I cant see the radar or choose any commands. If I run the game in a window, the largest I can run is 800 X 600 can someone help me? I have tried all different resolutions for the monitor and the bottom is always cut off. Thanks for any help.

Code: Select all

warzone2100 --resolution=1920x480
or set any arbitrary resolution in the config file.
P.S. i always play in windowed mode, leaving the panel visible; use alt+t to trap and untrap cursor during the game, this is usually easier for hardware than to switch from fullscreen to windowed.

thx cybersphinx.
another solution is a per application setting.
- right click warzone2100.exe
- "Properties"->"Compatibility"
- check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".

This solution worked for me too! Thx to everyone who responded. Warzone was the fist game I bought with my new (then it was new :roll: ) computer. Anytime I wanted to play the game I had to reserect my old, slow system. I am in heaven being able to play my favorite and not screw around with old tech.
