Everything is smaller than it should be

[Quebec Dragon]

It seems that everywhere - main menu, town screen, battle screen - except the overland map, there are thick borders showing a generic overland map in brownish monochrome. It's as if the game is constantly playing in a smaller window even though I'm full screen. I've tried changing the resolution of my desktop to lower resolutions (1280x1024, 1024x768), but it seems to revert back to 1920x1080 whenever I start the game. Am I alone with this problem and does anyone know of a fix? Whille searching the forums, I haven't found my particular problem but maybe I missed it.

I found the solution. It turns out that for everything to really be full screen, you have to be at 800x600 resolution in the Config Editor. If you pick a higher resolution, it adds that unseemly brownish border. I'll keep this post active on the forum just in case it might help others. If it does help you, please reply here. I'd be curious to see how many people encountered my problem or knew that the battle and town screens could be bigger.

Thank you. I made it 800x600, it's still smaller than I expected but whatever works better lol

OP problem probably cause he used 1280x. It should be 1024x768, 1280x is 5:4 alternative to this resolution - it not higher. 5:4 never be a standard and be good only for 5:4 displays.Aand even than im prefer set 1024x768 with black bars.

So, it should be black bars around game window.
Set video driver and everything else where it avialble (monitor\tv OSD screnn settings) - set "Keep Aspect ratio" (if display not have this option but instead "4:3->16:9" or "normal fullscreen->widescreen" switcher - experiment which one less broke aspect - 4:3 for display resize 4:3 too cause video driver still apply black bars and make it looks like 2:3 - for me it better set 16:9 for 4:3 Disciples2 resolution... im talk about 1080p TV display actually, no such issues on pc displays).

Next. 1024x (and 1280 alternative) added in v.1.2 game update. To some maybe keeping aspects resons dev add this border for high resolution set. And also they add option to turn it off - stretch-to-fullscreen.
Its stil lkeep it on, i guess. If your video driver set to "Keep ratio" it be correctly resized up to your display. Its shoudlt be too much tiny.

This is another issue now for KX3Y. He have tiny even 800x600 as i understand. It mean hes video driver and display settings set to not stretching image at all. With that it be tiny for both 1024x+border and for 800x. If set to stretch - it be incorrect and more blury on current displays. If it set to "Keep..." it strecth as much as possible to keep aspect.
This is best option variant. Only one normal. With "Keep" it be stretched to normal size.

So central playable windows also stretched. But yes, borders strecthed too and still some space will taken by that border. I play it on differ devices with difer diplays\TV - this border never be a huge problem for me. Central window still large enough.

This border will appear only for non-main-map screens.

(how game main map screen looks like on TV, some old photo from web)
This is "Keep" set in video driver but 16:9 for TV screen (a very little bit stertched, 4:3 do much worse resize, i have similar model TV). For correct "Keep" set and for correct only one hogh resolution - 1024x - subj border will tak not so much around playable area of the showed on photo game 4:3 screen. Black bars, ingame border - and still large gameplay screen. it can be considered as UI element, same as panel on the right side of the map screen.

If you still not want to have that border at all - turn it off in ConfigEditor.

Or you can keep it enabled, set 800x600...
and isntall Verok's DisciplesGL wrapper-mod. Now change resolution from 800x600 from wrapper menu (by F4). It also have screen size option.
