Game doesn't load on 1920x1080 resolution

[Tercio202]

So I tried launching the game at 1920x1080 and I can hear the main menu music and even the cursor changes but I still see my desktop. If I lower my resolution, I can now see the game. Any fix for 1920x1080?

 

Thanks in adavnce!

That's strange... Are you on windows ?
Are you sure you have a FULL HD monitor ?

Hello!

 

Yes I do. I'm on Windows 10 64 bit and I do have an HD monitor as that's the resolution I play all my other games on. I tried reinstalling the game several times with no success. I can however put the game in Windowed mode and then maximise at 1920x1080 but I can't go fullscreen.

These are my PC stats:

AMD FX-8350 4.0Ghz 8x Black Edition

DDR3 16GB RAM

AMD Ati R390X

@Tercio202 In the config file in your appdata folder, you can set manually the resolution, maybe that'll help.

Yes, done that already and entered the game at 1280x720 and put windowed mode and gone back to 1920x1080. I can play but only in windowed mode at full resolution. It's OK, I can manage in windowed mode anyway thanks to the implementation of WASD movement.

 

Thanks for your help!

xres = 0
yres = 0

 

No matter what I put in these, it always default to nattive resolution (1600x900) in fullscreen and 1024x768 in windowed. I'm try to put in 720p for making videos but it will not work. Must there be prefix (like view.xres)?

xres and yres works only on windowed mode IIRC. On fullscreen the screen resolution is always used.

[wowgetoffyourcellphone]

; Force a particular resolution. (If these are 0, the default is
; to keep the current desktop resolution in fullscreen mode or to
; use 1024x768 in windowed mode.)
xres = 0
yres = 0

It's suppose to change the resolution of fullscreen too (and does not change resolution of windowed mode for me either).

Just tested it in Alpha 20 on Windows: if you set resolution + windowed, it's applied:

But if you change the resolution leaving windowed = false, then game starts in fullscreen (as expected) and changes to 1024x768 if you Alt+Enter the windowed mode.

It's definetely the desirable behavior, we have a ticket: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/2845 , the suggested solution (adding a config option) sounds trivial to do and shouldn't cause any regressions (since it will preserve the current functionality by default).

Thank you, this is good info for making videos (lower res also reduce lag from Fraps).

This was indeed changed when switching to SDL2 (before, at SDL1, it worked to change the resolution in fullscreen)
