Partial Display on Start

[WilliamB]

I recently downloaded DCS World 2.5. My computer has intel i7 4790K, 16GB Ram running Windows 7 64bit with an AMD RX 580 8GB graphics card setup with eyefinity to run three screen display. After the initial download I registered and logged in. The game ran well in window on middle screen. Game screen was complete and I had access to all keys.

 

 

On starting the game today the game screen displayed only 1/3 of the screen(the left side). I have no access to any keys. Thus I am unable to make any changes to fix the display. Cannot even turn off the game.

 

 

I deleted and redownloaded the game. Restarted the game using the icon. My registration is still active and the game starts but the screen is the same.

 

 

Any thoughts, help, or assistance with this problem would be appreciated.

When you deleted and reinstalled, did you also delete all info on the User\Saved Games\DCS folder? This is where all configs is stored and normally remains even if you uninstall the "game" under Program Files.

 

Try renaming the DCS folder under "Saved Games" to DCSold and have it rebuild a new one. You may need to reconfigure your set-up.

christiankirk81,

 

 

I am new to DCS and not familiar with file structure or logic. I did as you suggested and that fixed the problem. If I had known I would not have redownloaded the program which takes me about 12hrs using torrent.

 

 

Thanks very much for your response!
