Resolution

It keeps giving me an error saying it can't change resolution on startup. Is this normal?

Having the same problem. Only using 1/4 of my screen size now. :-(
Still very interesting game. Cannot leave it.

On your library list right click on the game, click properties, click the Local files tab, click view local files wich will bring up the game folder, scroll down to Smugglers5 and right click on it, click propeties, compatability tab, check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". Might have to click "change settings for all users" button first.

Should fix that

You got my hopes up for a moment Gosshawk. Sadly, that doesn't fix the problem for me. Hopefully it will work for some others.

did you set fullscreen in settings?

full screen?

Seems a fun game but I get eyestrain just looking at it. Tried 720 and it stupidly just scales to the same size it was at 1080.

If there's no fix I'll skip this game.

Try This, might work, might not

Thanks, that helps a little bit combined with 720. Still massive black space on all sides. Seems like that would be a very basic thing to work out before even beginning work on a game :/

Resolution

I just bought this game after having it on my wishlist for some time.
But when i start it the text is small i can't hardly read it and the whole game runs in a tiny frame that covers half off my screen..
I have a 2560x1440 monitor (that is very common these days..) and i see no options to set the resolution either.
Am i blind? where is the graphics menu?

Very Disappointing

In this day and age, who makes a PC game that has no resolution controls? This game is unplayable on my high-resolution screen because it fills most of the screen with static background adn puts all the gameplay on a postage stamp in the middle.

I picked it up on sale but I won't even get my $5 worth out of it because I can't see the darn thing.

This can't even be a cheap console port with the tiny playable area. Maybe it's an extremely lazy smartphone port?

I just tried the demo and had the same problem. Zero resolution options, too.

Trust me, you're not missing anything. The game is awfully boring in the extreme. There are far better games out there done much better like Space Ranger or the X3 series for example. And you got far better graphics. And those games are old so cheap too!

From the FAQ of the website:

Is the game resolution low? Why is there a black border on the side? Why isn´t the game fullversion?

The game runs in fullscreen mode in the resolution your PC runs at. There is a black background picture with stars.

Since the release of Smugglers 5: Invasion on Steam, the size of the main game screens of Smugglers 5: Secession and Smugglers 5: Invasion have been increased to look pleasing in Full HD (1920 × 1080). The main screen of the game is and was never supposed to fill your screen in order to give you the possibility to put the trading or mission information screen to the side of the main screen.

The original option in the game to change the resolution of your PC has been removed, because it caused confusion. If you must, you can do so in the Windows display settings. It´s just not recommended, because the artwork looks better in your native resolution and you need the additional space at the side.

Thanks.

Serious?
