[SOLVED] custom Resolution settings

[inSide_Studios]

Hey guys,
I've got some issues regarding the custom resolution settings.
If I select 1920x1080, my ingame screen gets shiftet to the upper left corner (but in fullscreen) and I'm not even really able to change it again, cause I cant reach all of the menus (only with arrow keys).

Someone ingame told me to force windows using centered mode, but I cant rlly find the options for it (windows 8, 64 bit)

So I'd aprreciate any help, to make this old jewel look a little bit better

do you want to change resolution to a smaller one, then reach settings and set up your own resolution?

you could open a console (SHIFT + `), type

r_mode 4

for 800x600, then

vid_restart

then open ingame video settings, change resolution to custom, set up width and height and press "Apply"

I just tried setting custom resolution, but it doesn't work propably like I explained in the first post^^

 

[Damn Polak]

I cant reach all of the menus

it means you set up too high resolution
can you please explain your situation further (what's your monitor resolution, system resolution, and game resolution)?

Well my laptop resolution is 1920x1080, that why I wanted to set MBII to that resolution. So my System resolution is 1920x1080. If I do 1920x1080 custom resolution for MBII It seems like my screen is too small for it - like shifted to the left upper screen corner, and I'm only able to see like the first 3 or 4 menu buttons- so its like a side effect of the "shifting" that i can't access all menus via mouse control (luckyly you can still select menus using arrow keys ) so the problem is, that MB2's 1920x1080 resolution seems to be different to my screen 1920x1080 resolution or it's atleast interpretet differently. Resolutions like 800x600 work well, though its ugly as fuq

could you please make a screenshot in 1080p and also try windowed mode?

So thats what my screen looks like if I set 1920x1080 :

If I select windowed mode, the resolution gets fucked up again

[Damn Polak]

did you put height=1920 and width=1080?

 

[inSide_Studios]

nope widths the larger one

 

[Damn Polak]

oh wait, the second screenshot (windowed one) has some weird resolution (1617x1048)
did you crop the screenshot, or is it your real native resolution? please check it again

 

[inSide_Studios]

the windowed resolution in the screenshot was the last one, which works on fullscreen, so no I didnt try with 1920x1080 yet, cause why should it work, if the smaller resolution (which works on fullscreen) does not even work? =/

 

[Damn Polak]

the windowed resolution in the screenshot was the last one

right

which works on fullscreen

what?

so no I didnt try with 1920x1080 yet

but you did try with 1920

could you run the game windowed and post a screenshot of entire screen, so i can check if it's really 1920x1080?

Hey, recently I was having such issue too.
I suppose you are running Windows ≥8, in this case disable the magnification from 125% in desktop settings. If the issue isn't solved when I come home in 1 hr, I will send you the screen here.

 

[inSide_Studios]

Worked.
Thanks for the advide..I would have never tried that,

 

[Helix]

You are welcome
