Issues running at 4k

Post by SirAmiel00 »

For some reason, 4k has not been working for me. When I select 3840x2160 the game is zoomed in on the top left corner and I cannot select any of the options. I have tried both fullscreen and windowed. Also I should note that 2540x1440 works just fine, I just want to run that game as high a resolution as possible :lol:.

Also, I forgot to mention that I also have a 1080p monitor hooked up as well and when I run in windowed mode at 4k the game takes up like only 2/3 of the vertical screen and the width of the game extends onto the 1080p monitor. I tried unplugging the smaller monitor but it still didn't work.

Weird, last time I ran OpenMW at 4k fullscreen it worked fine. This was on Ubuntu 16.04 and again on 17.04

What is your OS situation?

I started facepalming pretty hard ever since I upgraded to Windows 8.1 Not only would OpenMW do this, other programs also behaved really strange unless I enabled/disabled High DPI Scaling by going into .exe->properties->compatibility. At any rate, that should fix things, but I don't like it. :evil:

I got the monitor like a week ago but for the most part, games have been running just fine, including vanilla Morrowind (with MCP). The setup isn't perfect though, sometimes when I put the computer to sleep it changes the primary monitor and I have to restart.

This fixed it, I opened compatibility on openmw.exe and set the application to determine high dpi scaling. Thanks for the help!
