Thomas Rücker Posted April 7, 2022 Report Posted April 7, 2022 How can i change the resolution? (display resolution, not 3d scale resolution) There is no resolution slider in the game like in 100% of other games! The main problem is that i have an ultrawide display, and with a resolution of 3440x1440 the game looks crappy, and often menus (at least the lower buttons) are halfway or fully cut off and unsee and unclickable. So i would like to change the game resolution to a normal 16:9 instead of the 21:9 scale, like i do with other problematic games that don't support ultrawide correctly.
Streetwind Posted April 7, 2022 Report Posted April 7, 2022 The game will use the desktop resolution, so if you change that, the game will inherit it. Alternatively, switch to windowed mode. You can then use the mouse to drag the window into exactly the shape you like.
Solution Thomas Rücker Posted April 7, 2022 Author Solution Report Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Okay, found it. Problem was not the 21:9, but rather the very low and strange resolution the game was set on the beginning. Felt strange having to modify a .json file (%apdata%/roaming/vintagestorydata/clientsettings.json) to set the correct resolution, but at least now it works correctly even in ultrawide (3440x1440). (and no, it did not use the desktop resolution, somewhat more of 1/6 of my desktop resolution for width, and half of that for the height) Edited April 7, 2022 by Thomas Rücker 1
Streetwind Posted April 7, 2022 Report Posted April 7, 2022 Odd, it takes my native 1440p without any config file changes. But I have 16:9, so maybe it just didn't know what to do with yoru aspect ratio and used some sort of fallback.
