2560x1440 Graphics Problem

Post by Thomasew »

Hi,

When I run the screen in 2560x1440, .. the tops of the grey boxes at the bottom of the screen are cut off.

Consequently, . if you click on a stack of units, .. the 1st couple of units can not be seen in the grey box.

Tried in both full screen and windowed, .. with the same result.

Running in 1920x1080 windowed works fine, .. but, then I end up with a small window in the centre of my screen, .. workable, .. but, not ideal.


Cheers
Tom

Hi,

Nope, .. not at all I'm afraid, .. except that I've now realized that I can't scroll the map in 1920x1080 windowed mode. [8|]

while you can't scroll by going to the edge of the screen, but can using the arrow keys.

does that work?

if not the developer will reply soon, sorry about this, but did you alter the ini in the last thread posted? need to ask, as that does work, as i've used it myself.

Hi,

Yeah, .. the arrow keys work .. in 1920x1080 windowed.

Yes, .. I made changes in the ini, .. in order to change resolution and/or windowed mode. [:)]

Are you saying that you can get 2560x1440 working, .. without text being cut off?, .. as per my pic. [&:]

Hi

It seems I have the same problem
Extra info: The grey logwindow at the bottom centre has the same cut off
Further at the right side the hexborder is missing.
If a start the editor nothing seems to be wrong

I have done the suggestions mentioned here before and it all works except for the 2560x1440 mode

Thank you in advance

Hmmm, I'm not sure what the problem is as I tested 2560 x 1440 resolution a while back. I will PM you...

I can confirm the graphics error, but I only saw it when I used the default non-Windowed option. When I set it to Windowed, the interface is centered on the screen at a smaller resolution than my display and cannot be minimized or moved (so it's not really windowed).

OS is Windows 10. Display is set to 2560X1440 (native resolution for my monitor).

Hi Peter

Downloaded the new version 11a
The 2 bottom windows still cut off at the top
There is a right side now but it is not hex-shaped
I will send you the new screen shot

'Installed' the patch - it does not fix the problem.

BTW - need a ReadMeFirst in the Patch zip file - there wasn't any indication that I had to overwrite files from the zip file to my installation directory, and it's not something that is pleasant to do without worrying about borking the installation.

Just a thought, are you guys using DPI set to 100%?

My DSR factors are set to off.

Game is patched to 1.0.11.

Running in "windowed" mode at 1920x1080 seems to resolve the problem. I prefer to run my games full screen, but this will work as a temporary measure until a more permanent solution is found.

I will be working on fixing the 2560x1440 resolution issue this weekend. Of course since I'm one person development team, I will need to go out and buy LCD with 2560x1440 resolution.
