Multiplayer mode different screen size than single player mode WIndows 7

[Radar]

Hello mates, I'm having an issue with Black Shark using Windows 7, my recomended setting for my screen size is 1366 x 768, and it mirrors the screen settings on single player mode which works flawless at that setting, but when i go to multiplayer mode it appears that it does not match at that setting, the screen is at not full size anyone know how to resolve this issue?

 

AMD Athlon Processor TF-20 1.60 GHZ, ATI Radeon HD 3200, 4Gigs Mem

*note* worked fine in vista, windows 7 was an upgrade from the notebook company.

You mean multiplayer in a sense of server-browser or in a sense of flying online?

 

Note that the multiplayer-GUI works as a set resolution that is just rescaled - it cannot be changed right now. It has nothing to do with resolution-settings while flying, though. ;)

Mutiplayer mode is online

 

Look my issue is single player mode is full screen and my multiplayer mode is center screen I would like help how to make mutiplayer mode full screen like single player mode.

The crazy thing is, both Single player and Multiplayer use exactly the same configuration for Graphic setup, including screen res :(

 

- What is the native resolution of your laptop screen (is 1366*768 native, or non?).

 

- Try changing the Graphical settings to run "windowed" , and then test again in both Single Player and Multiplayer.

 

- Cut and paste the contents of your options.lua file (X:\install_path\BlackShark\BlackShark\data\scripts\options.lua) here so we can see your settings... (open in notepad, or wordpad o the win7 equivalent and just copy the contents out into a post)

Ok, so there is your issue:

 

["resolution"] = "1024x768"

 

Is the resolution that the game is running at, which is why you are seeing it as centered.

Assuming your laptop screen is actually 1366 x 768, then you should change the resolution setting to this (you will need to edit the options.lua file) as follows:

 

Make a copy of the options.lua file just incase (call it options.bak or something) , and make sure you use a propoer editor to do this, not notepad!...something like notepad++

 

Just under where it say ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "1camera",

change

["aspect"] = 1.3333333333333,

to read

["aspect"] = 1.7786458333333,

 

In the bottom section ["graphics"] =

{

 

Change these values:

 

["resolution"] = "1024x768",

to read

["resolution"] = "1366x768",

 

["width"] = 1024,

to read

["width"] = 1366,

 

 

save the file, and run the game, and be amazed and happy that it all works again

 

Dont worry about the line that says ["resolution"] = "640x480", that is just defining the res that in game movies / avi's would play at..that should stay as is.
