Aspect ratio issues? (Resolved)

[Accolyte]

Windows 10, GTX 660. Whenever I launch the game, it changes the aspect ratio and a huge portion of the screen is cut off. If needed, I can provide screenshots and elaborate. So, how can I stop it from changing the aspect ratio?
I should note that I've had problems with older games in the past as well, especially Star Wars Battlefront 2.

This isn't an issue with full screen or resolution this is an issue with high dpi.

To fix this you need to get to your “gamedata” folder in JK2 and JKA you must go to your steam library, right click Jedi outcast or Jedi academy, then click properties (located in the context menu), now click the tab titled “Local Files” and then click the box titled "browse local files." If you followed these steps correctly you should see a folder pop up titled "Jedi Outcast" or "Jedi Academy" inside that folder there should be another folder titled "Gamedata" open that by selecting the folder and double clicking or select the folder and press enter key. Now you should see two “.exe” files one titled "jk2sp.exe" and "jk2mp.exe" (for JK2) or "jasp.exe" and "jamp.exe" (for JKA)

Once you find them select one and right click the .exe then select properties click on "Compatibility" Tab and check the box at the button titled "Disable scaling on high DPI" Do this for both .exe files and if you have JK2 you need to do this for that games .exe files as well.

Good luck let me know if it works for you.

playing in windowed mode might be a quick fix

Not sure how to enable windowed mode.

I'm at the compatibility tab and can't locate Disable scaling on high DPI. I see 'Override high DPI scaling behavior' and a drop-down box that includes Application, System, and System (Enhanced).
I've tried launching with a few of these and the problem remains.

Pick application.

can you see the options? cause i can give you step by step instructions to apply a different aspect ratio in game if you cant see anything lol. its happened to me

[Accolyte]

Nevermind, fixed.

I wasn't pressing apply before closing the window.
*facepalm*
I just ticked the box near Override scaling behavior and left it on Application

Thanks for this. On new windows 10 it seems to be the option to override scaling behaviour performed by application works for me.
