Ingame Interface Problems

[Kim Jong ill]

I'm running Lo:MAC 1.02 on a 24 Inch 1920x1080 screen and I get no comms menu in the top left and my pause menu is off the right edge of the screen as in the screenshot below. I also have errors with the text boxes shown during training missions etc.

 

 

I used to have problems with tags until I changed my settings in the graphics.cgf file like so;

 

DisplayMode

{

resolution = {1920, 1080};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.777777777;

Interface

{

resolution = {1920, 1080};

bpp = 32;

aspect = 1.777777777;

fullscreen = 1;

}

Simulation

{

resolution = {1920, 1080};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.777777777;

}

}

 

 

How ever no matter what I do unless I return to default 1024x768 I continue to have the problems described above.

 

Any suggestions of known fixes would be greatly appreciated.

your not zoomed out all the ways from what I can tell. Also you can only run the game on your what ever your GPU is capable of running it in, For instance LCD 28 inch I'm only able to run in native since its an LCD I believe the game only goes up to 1920x 1600, try that setting you are on a Wide screen correct? I ask cause you forgot the golden rule when posting issues

 

CPU

MoBo

Video

RAM

PSU

 

PS since your name is KIM ILL Jong, I'll ask were did you hid your nukes?

CPU - E4600 @ 3.36GHZ

Mobo - DFI Lanparty DK P45T2RS+

Video - HD4850 1GB

Ram - 6GB DDR2

PSU - Corsair HX 620

 

Trust me man, the problem is with the game and not with my system. It doesn't matter whether I'm zoomed out all the way or not, the comms overlay is independent of the cockpit model and should be unaffected by zoom.

 

Field of view is set at 115 but setting it to default once again makes no difference.

 

The native res of my monitor is 1920x1080 and that's what the resolution is set to in game and in the config file. Obviously I can't run the game at 1920x1600 as that's above the max res and also a 4:3 resolution not 16:9.

 

I've tried everything to solve this problem and returning to the default resolution which looks absolutely horrible is the only solution I've found.

 

As for where are my nukes, that's for me to know and you to fail to find out ;)

[71st_Mastiff]

which monitor u have?

your monitor my not handel the game and you saying its 4:3 not a wide screen eh it look like it might be trying to do wide screen.try setting the Aspect ratio to 1.22222

[Kim Jong ill]

Ok lets try this again ... you said I should try 1920x1600. 1920x1600 is a 4:3 resolution not a widescreen 16:9 which is what my monitor is, so obviously I can't run it.

 

The native res of my monitor is 1920x1080 and that's what the resolution is set to in game and in the config file.

 

That should make it pretty clear that it's a 16:9 monitor, for the sake of extreme clarity my monitor is a BenQ G2401HD 24 Inch 16:9 which runs at 1920x1080. Running the game at this resolution or any resolution other then 1024x768 results in a lack of comms menu and other distortions, this was the same case when I ran the game at 1600x1200 on my old 19inch CRT 4:3 monitor.

oh ok I was confised I'm running in 4:10 1920x1200, ah yes your ATI go into the settings and force the resolution...

...and be aware that everytime you go into Lockon and change the OPTIONS, it resets your aspect settings in graphics.cfg to the default (which is quite annoying!!). So you have to go edit it again.

I think you are misunderstanding him, his monitor does not support 1920x1200 because his monitor is not 16:10 compatible, his monitor uses a 16:9 aspect ratio and as such uses 1920x1080 for his maximum resolution instead,

 

although this is beside the point I can say with certainty that the interface has not worked for me with any resolution besides 1024x768 which on a 20" LCD is a little shocking O.o

 

he is asking for help in getting the radio interface working if a custom resolution, as far as I know he has had no other problems with the interface.

[Kim Jong ill]

So no one else has any suggestions?

Ingame Interface Problems

 

sorry about the late reply, i was in the toilet...ran out of toilet paper, so i had to use what was in my wallet, a 20 or a 100 .... i was feeling kinky so i used the 100 note

 

anyway yeh...

 

um yeh i think its evident that i can, you need photo evidence?

[Milkster]

mate i've fixed this as had the same problem

try this:

 

DisplayMode

{

resolution = {1920, 1080};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.777777777;

Interface

{

resolution = {1024, 768};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.3333;

}

Simulation

{

resolution = {1920, 1080};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.777777777;

[Kim Jong ill]

Thanks for the post but that fix just ends up making the game look like a pixellated mess, anyone else got any ideas? Perhaps some help from the actual game devs?

[Distiler]

Do you use Xfire? if so disable xfire ingame for lockon

 

tools - options - games - lockon -> disable xfire ingame

 

PD: sorry for bump. I thought last reply was from 9 of december

[Lucas_From_Hell]

Alright, as Distiler bump'd the thread, I'll try to take advantage of it... :D

 

Well, I have the same problem of Kim Jong Ill: 16:9 monitor, and trying to make Lock On look properly.

 

I just changed the graphics.cfg parameter to "1.777777", but I'm not sure about which one is right...

 

To compare, here are a few screenshots, first some old Su-27 and Su-33 shots I have here (I have to say, I love 'em, specially the first one) with the old 1.3 ratio, and then some profile pics from MiG-29 and MiG-23 I just took, for comparsion purposes.

 

Anyone with a good eye can give me a hand on this one?
