Fullscreen borders

[Melted Dwarf]

Alright, I've seen LOADS of discussions on this, but none of them have a fix, pr at least one that works for me. When I had Windows 8, i specifically remember playing this game in 1080p without issue. Now that I have Windows 10, I can't. I got a mod (which I didn't need to do before) called Morrowind FPS Optimizer because it's one of the only ways to get 1080p, the problem is, I do get 1080p, but there are big ugly bright blue borders around the screen, although it's meant to be fullscreen. One fix I found was changing the resolution in-game, which removes the borders, the problem is that there is no 1080p option in game, so I have to launch in 1080 and change to something lower to fix it, which defeats the purpose of the mod.

Please, if anyone can help me to play in fullscreen 1080p without the borders, I would be most appreciative.

Same problem here. The game does not support 16:9 nativly but in win8.1, it would scale fullscreen stretched without issue. After upgrading to Win10, i've got black bars on either side and blue window around the game. Super distracting.

The problem is with the intel 4600 HD driver that does not save scaling options like it did in 8.1
Waiting almost a month now for a new driver to fix it. Till then, i cant play any games in anything other than native 1080p (whcih is not a problem for my laptop anyways since im running all games off the GTX 860m), however older games that dont support it have those annoying black bars when rendering in 4:3.

In short, after getting Win10, 90% of my library all work fine since they run off my dedicaed GPU at 1080p. A small handful of games (Just Cause, and Morrowind) both are restricted to 4:3 res and therefore both suffer from black bars on either side. The issue is not dependant on which GPU is in use (Intel HD or GTX 860m) as the Intel 4600HD is always the one controling display's output, while the GTX 860m usually just does the actual processing and rendering to send to the IGP.

Till intel actually releases a fix, any game running a res lower than native will have black bars. Morrowind seems to be a weird exception that has a blue window with it too.. JC1 does not have this window, just black bars.

to get rid of the windowed bar just alt-tab out and back in

That method doesn't work for me, Doc. What I did do though, was download a mod for New Vegas, which you can use for Morrowind, so when the game launches in a window like that, you press Lshift + ~ and it makes it a borderless window that takes up the whole screen!

Mind sharing the source for the mod? It would be super helpful!

Just to be clear: was that MGE, or MGE XE?

MGEXE

Also worth a try: http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/19510/?

'...- Resolution options fix. Allows the setting of all available resolutions in the options menu, instead of only resolutions with 4:3 aspect ratio.'

nowadays everyone just uses "open morrowind/openmw"

it makes the game engine much more stable, adds modern resolutions, better fullscreen options and improved stability

plus all your mods will work fine with it ^_^

Thanks! I've been using Openmw and MO2.

So you're saying people don't use MO2 anymore? They just get the lists from Openmw, download the mods, and install?
