Center of screen is tilted down and to the right - help plz

[nvp33]

I'm running win 8.1 on a Lenovo laptop with GeForce 840m and an Intel i7 core - when I launch the game and I get the setup options I adjust the resolution to max and click test - at the test the icon is also tilted down and to the right from my center - when I entered the game I would see the background of the menu also tilted down and to the right, but no music and no clickable text (like "new game", "options" and the like) - I set the .exe file to run compatabillity mode with win XP service pack 3, but didn't help.

I installed a graphic fix from anothe user on the forums which unfroze the game, and there is now music and I can see and enter the menues, but the center of the game is still tilted down and to the right from the center of my screen.

Would appreciate any help with this

In the Compatibility mode tab for the executable, also check off the option to disable display scaling on high DPI settings.

Worked like a charm - thank you very much

Same problem, but solution did not work..

In the Steam library right click Divine Divinity and select Configure, then change the resolution. Does that make a difference? You can also start the configtool.exe program by running it from the main install folder.

In the '..\SteamApps\common\divine_divinity' install folder, right click the div.exe program file, select Properties, switch to the Compatibility tab and double check that the 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings' setting is still checked.
You can also check the option to always 'Run as administrator' and maybe run it in Win 9x/ME compatibility mode, or something.

Still nothing... Shows bottom right, and when playing the game and talking to people the text box and selections don't come up, I have to just hit numbers to progress the conversation.

Try changing your desktop resolution in Windows to match the game resolution (right click on an open area of the desktop), if the game will not run (or the text is too small) at your desktop resolution.

Windows 8 has some display scaling options that might not be effected by the compatibility mode 'disable display scaling on high DPI settings' option. If you are using Windows 8, or maybe 10, check the Display applet in the Control Panel.

Check your video driver settings, and see if there are any options for scaling or stretching games (right click on an open area of your desktop, and there should be an option to start the nvidia control panel or ATI catalyst control center).

Yup tried all that... nothing.... Thanks for the help though....Wanted to try the game, but I guess its just not meant to be...

[Raze_Larian]

While troubleshooting, did you ever Alt-tab out of the game, and then switch back? If there are no scaling options set in Windows or your video drivers, maybe forcing the game to reset the video that way will help? Can't hurt to try it, anyway.

In the configuration program, try switching to Software mode, rather than Direct3D. Try a resolution that does not match the aspect ratio of your monitor, or if that is already the case, try one that does. Try a low resolution, and see if that makes a difference with whether or how much of the screen is cut off.


You can try getting the game to play in a window, though that can be a little finicky to set up.

Is it possible to switch this game to window mode?

I tried all of that :(.. Only thing I didn't try was getting it to windowed mode.

I had the same issue and heres the solution. on windows 10 go to settings>display and under "scale and layout>change the size of text,apps and other items " to 100%.... As long as your "config.div" is edited to display 1920 x 1080 it will now be centered and not cutoff.
