Ice Cream Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I am having this problem with the main menu resolution on 1.5, where it is seems to be running the resolution set in the options menu, but is using the area according to the resolution set on windows. For example, if I have the resolution in the options menu set at 1600x1200, and my desktop at 1280x1024, the result I see is just the top left corner of the main menu. The opposite happens if, for example, I set it at 1280x1024 on DCS and my desktop at 1600x1200, then the DCS main menu only takes up a little corner of my monitor. Is there anyway to set the menus resolution differently than the in-game one (like my desktop resolution) or something, instead of me having to switch resolutions every time I want to play?
Blaze Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 It's a bug I believe. For the click spots and menus to line up you have to have DCS running the same resolution as your desktop. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

Wayc00lio Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Why have you set your resolution different to windows? Surely both should be set to the resolution that your monitor can handle?

Ice Cream Posted December 29, 2015 Author Posted December 29, 2015 Why have you set your resolution different to windows? Surely both should be set to the resolution that your monitor can handle? It's because I use a CRT monitor. Can't really use the higher resolution for just using the computer due to the low refresh rate (which gets annoying and can irritate my eyes), but in games that low refresh rate isn't a problem.
John C Flett Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Also having this problem. My desktop is set to 2560x1440 ( anything higher and most things become to small to read ) but DCS runs at 3840x2160 and I lose the bottom and right side of the screen. It's easy enough to change resolution anytime I want to play but it would be nice if I didn't have to.

mhe Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Same problem here. 4K screen at the top, 1080p touchscreen below it for Helios. Flying works brilliantly, but the menu is compressed horizontally on the main screen. Have defined a viewport for the main screen only and bound the UIMainView to it in the display config, still it compresses the screen horizontally. Very weird. Clickspots are almost where they should be though, so I have to offset clicks to the right and see if the desired GUI element lights up. Now tried a second time and have the same effect, only vertically. It is kinda odd. I can live with it in the menus, but it makes the Mission Editor completely unusable. | i9 12900K | 64GB DDR5-6000 | STRIX RTX 4090 OC | LG 38GN950 38" | | Hanns-G HT225HPB | TIR 5 & Varjo Aero | Virpil Throttle & Stick | TM TPRs | You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.

Change (v1.5.2)? or that: DCS World v1.5 and Screen Modes? :) Yep, that looks like what is happening to me, except mine is from a lower res on the desktop to a higher res on the sim, thus instead of a small window on the screen I get a window where I can't really click anything besides the top left menu. Also, alt tabbing doesn't fix it for me.
