No resolutions higher than 1920x1200?

[arnamak]

Just bought this. I use a 4k monitor, noticed when I launched it it changed my desktop resolution to 1080p and in the settings the highest I can crank the game is 1200. Is there for real no support for higher resolutions?

[reverendloc]

You can launch the game at any resolution you'd like using the launch options /x=1920 /y=1080

Just replace the 1920 and 1080 values with your desired resolution.

It's worth noting that all of our in-game assets were hand-painted at 1920x1080 resolution, so they really should look best at that resolution.

You able to go full screen ? I still cant get this game to go full screen, asked the question, and everybody bashed me for having 4K

If you're having issues with the game going full screen try the following, which people have reported helping:

1. Go into the local files and choose either the x86 or x64 folder (depending on OS)
2. Find the exe named Transistor and right click and select properties
3. Go to compatibility tab and choose disable display scaling on high DPI settings
4. Click run as administrator

If that doesn't work, try changing the scaling of your Windows icons and from larger to normal size and see if that helps.

just wanted to say reverendloc's suggestion worked for me on my 4k display.

Seriously? why on earth did you guys create your assets as such a low resolution. What complete dumbassery by the devs

[reverendloc]

Development for Transistor started in 2011. Back then cheap 4k TVs cost $3000+. Nice ones cost $8,000+ There weren't 4K monitors. GPUs didn't support 4K rendering.

Those are all reasons that assets were created at what was then the highest readily available resolution.eh

There are even more technichal reasons, but the fact that 4K was an outlier during development of this game is definitely part of the equation.

I have a ultrawide 3440x1440 monitor. Does this game support that resolution "out of the box" or do i need to tweak it on my own via the wsgf website tutorial?
