Messed up resolution, ok buttons hidden offscreen

[KCwasHere]

I've looked just about everywhere for a solution. I set my resolution too high on accident, and now when the game loads i am unable to see the ok button to change it back to something correct. Ive tried ALT+Enter, and that fits the whole game on the screen, but i am unable to hit any buttons. Ive deleted local content and reloaded the game from steam. It still comes up incorrecly on screen. HELP! Thanks in advance for replies.

navigate to your users folder \Users\YourUserName\Saved Games\DCS\Config folder and locate the file named options.lua, open it up (suggest notepad++ cause notepad is a formatting nightmare) should have block that looks like this:

["graphics"] = {
["HDR"] = 1,
["MSAA"] = 3,
["OculusRift"] = false,
["TranspSSAA"] = false,
["aspect"] = 1.7777777777778,
["civTraffic"] = "",
["clutterMaxDistance"] = 0,
["cockpitShadows"] = true,
["color"] = "32",
["disableAero"] = false,
["effects"] = 3,
["fullScreen"] = false,
["haze"] = 1,
["heatBlr"] = 1,
["height"] = 1080,
["lights"] = 2,
["multiMonitorSetup"] = "1camera",
["preloadRadius"] = 150000,
["scenes"] = "high",
["shadowTree"] = false,
["shadows"] = 1,
["sync"] = false,
["textures"] = 2,
["treesVisibility"] = 15000,
["visibRange"] = "High",
["water"] = 2,
["width"] = 1920,

adjust height and width to resoultion you want.

on a side note if your using some kind of super resolution like AMDs new upscale then downscale stuff it can cause this problem to occur where DCS is set to higher then what monitor can actually show and thus you only get top left portion of the game shown unable to click the good menu buttons, hope this helps.

alternatively deleting your config folder and having it re-create may also solve the problem.

That is what i ended up trying. Deleted everything including the config folder. Fixed it. Thanks for the tips.

If ["multiMonitorSetup"] is set to "Stereo", change it to "1camera"

Sometimes it is caused by turning on the GUI scale on low res display or settings. It is good for 1440p full screen and higher.

I had the same problem, I went into D:\DCS World\Config\MonitorSetup and removed all of the .lua files but 1camera.lua Then restarted it and it was fixed! Hope it helps you out!
