Monitor change - no real fullscreen anymore ..

[Bolkonskij]

Hey there,

I recently had to step down from my Samsung TV connected via DVI back to an old LG Flatron L1953TR. The native resolution on the LG is 1280 x 1024 which is fine for me. However, before I was going for 1600 x 900 (or something similar) on the Samsung.

So after switching the monitor and running the Arsenal of Democracy settings I picked 1280 x 1024 16 Bit color (+ fullscreen) as a resolution.

Unfortunately, upon startup the game will not use the entire screen but instead only something like 1024 x 800 in the center of the screen. I get thick, nasty black bars around the game screen. Since I did not have it with the Samsung, is suppose it must have something to do with the switch.

I tried Windowed Mode to see if it would work but same thing happens with windowed mode. Operating System is Windows 7.

How can I get Arsenal of Democracy using the full 1280 x 1024 screen resolution? Any ideas? Anyone experienced that before?

Is your monitor set back to PnP monitor or is still something from Samsung listed in device manager ?

Please run the launcher again, set the lowest possible resolution and try again, you may also want to verify the width/height values stored in settings.cfg

When you look at the settings file, what do you see?

0 #LANGUAGE (0=english, 1 = french etc..)
1 #MUSIC (1 for on)
0 #WINDOWED MODE (1 for on)
europa.valkyrienet.com
1280 #1024 #Width
1024 #768 #Height
0 # Disable intro

If you don't see 1280 width and 1024 height, add them and save. Then give it a try.
