fullscreen, resolution, centeredness

[LionPride]

Having trouble getting the right resolution so as to make it full screen and centered correctly.

If you select "Play Earth 2140 HD" you can choose a resolution in the options menu (gear).

The game has 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio via multiple resolutions - from 800x600 to 1920x1080 up to 1920x1200. But only if you select the "HD" version.


If you choose "Play Earth 2140 Classic XP" you cannot choose your resolution.

The 'classic XP' version is only one fixed resolution (800x600? 1024x768? - I am not sure). But it does not allow you to change/adjust resolution settings at all.

I appreciate the response. I've tried all of the resolutions available. Even changed the aspect ratios on my monitor. The main problem is that the game is not centered. In other words, it is skewed towards the right of the screen. Changing the res makes no difference.

You still have the ability to:

1. "Adjust the Desktop Size and Position" in the "NVIDIA Control Panel" (if you are running an NVIDIA card)

or

2. the "AMD Radeon Settings" (if you are on a Radeon Card).

3. No clue, how this works with Intel integrated graphics.

Basically, you either force the graphic card to perform the scaling unto your monitor or you force the monitor perform the scaling.

If you are on Windows 7, you can also use the game exe properties "Windows compatibility mode" and try running the game in Win98, etc, or try the checkbox options.

[It is kind of hard to figure out what your issue is, when you do not provide your Hardware specs: Monitor & connection type, Graphic Card, Operating System ...]

Seems the Steam HD Edition has an executable that does not register the game with the Windows registry, nor does it create ini files to manipulate.

I think it is a problem of the High DPI Resolution.
You have to look for yout earth2140.exe on your PC.
Then rightclick/Properties/Compatibility/Change High DPI Settings/Set checkmark on scaling by application
Excuse my bad English, I translated that f**ing IT words from German.
Good luck!
