Fullscreen Problems

DanDanger · 04-26-2011, 06:42 AM

Hi,

Got a monitor (1680x1050) resolution. When I go fullscreen, the bottom section of the games screen is cut of and I cannot click there. Thus making the game impossible to complete in fullscreen mode because I cant click on the items there.

Just for your information, because the game is absolutely fantastical!

my first thought would be to go into your video card's control panel and check/experiment with the image/screen scaling settings. since you both probably have widescreen displays and this game runs specifically at 1024x768 (which is 4:3, not widescreen), I'm thinking that when you are running fullscreen it is enlarging the image to fit the width of the screen but cutting off the bottom in the process. ideally what you would want for fullscreen is to maintain the 4:3 aspect ratio of the game and end up with black bars (letterboxing) on the sides. check your settings!

unfortunately I don't have a widescreen display to test with

This worked for me!!!

1. Type in Win+R and put ‘regedit’ (without the quotes) into the box.
2. Search the reg for ‘Display1_DownScalingSupported’
3. Change the value from ’0′ to ’1′
4. Restart

This now makes screen res 1024x768 avalible in display option an runs the game full screen with the full picture

hope this helps

nice find. out of curiosity what registry key is that under? I searched but it does not exist in my registry. is it possible it is related to having a certain hardware device in the system? i don't need it but it would be good to know for future reference

Key Chain is under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/Class/(4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318)/0000

It's in the root of this. hope this helps

Its probably a net book key or a wide screen set??? as its not on my PC either
