Fullscreen off center

[mastery]

I'm playing homeworld on my surface pro 3 and it worked fine the first time i launched it. Second time the whole screen is off center, the menu is only half visible! Anyone else eperiencing this?

i don't even see the menu. i'm now experimenting with different resolutions and the wireless display adapter.

I have that problem if i set homeworld to the native resolution of my screen! If i lower the resolution to 1280 everything is fine!

I have the same problem with my surface pro 2. HWR plays at my desktop's native resolution, but not my SP2's. I thought it might be the graphics driver for the SP2's Intel 4400 integrated graphics. I went to Intel to obtain the latest driver and discovered that my SP2 has a custom driver version. All I can guess is that perhaps Microsoft doesn't allow the native resolution in games to make sure they run smoothly. It's only a guess. I'm hoping it might be something Gearbox can fix because the text is hard to read when it is scaled.

Found the fix. http://youtu.be/CNKHf3Dtp28 You have to change the compatibility options on the homeworldRM.exe file. You have to disable display scaling on high DPI settings. It's quite an easy fix. You can apply it to homeworld remastered and homeworld 2 classic.

YEAH this works like a charm!

In 2021, can confirm this works for Homeworld 2 Classic. In my case, under compatibility options, I had to override DPI settings for application. I only applied it to the Homeworld2.exe in my case.

Glad this thread was still around!
