Author Topic: screen resolution way out of wack (Read 12272 times)

mrsparks · « **on:** 2011-02-27 16:28:54 »

I have gone through the steps in the guide over and over, and scoured these forums, I have found on other person with this problem, however his problem was never addressed

my screen is being displayed much wider than my settings, so 1/3 of right/lower right screen is gone.

I tested ff7 on standard install and all was well, I installed remix, configured 1920x1080, and turned on preserve aspect

here is my app log

That's way odd. Could you post your ff7_opengl.cfg?

I have tried many different resolutions that are supported by my T.V. including the one noted in the install guide. I don't seem to notice any difference in any thing when I do. I did manage to run windowed once at quarter screen, and every thing looked normal(wouldn't let me resize though)

no, this tv, has been my desktop monitor for its entire life, it works perfectly via HDMI desktop runs at 1080 res

I did try resizing to 1440x1080, and came up with this

No need to double post, there's an edit button for a reason.

This may seem obvious, but does your TV happen to have a zoom function that you've forgotten to turn off?

sl1982 · « **Reply #5 on:** 2011-02-27 17:08:42 »

Its an issue with the driver. The internal resolution should not be 1920x1440, it should be 1440x1080.

No.

Its either user error or a problem with the graphics drivers not setting the right fullscreen mode.

mrsparks · « **Reply #7 on:** 2011-02-27 17:57:31 »

I'm willing to bet its user error, can you set me straight?

Aali · « **Reply #8 on:** 2011-02-27 18:00:52 »

I'm not so sure about that, did you try running other fullscreen apps on your TV?

mrsparks · « **Reply #9 on:** 2011-02-27 18:07:12 »

fallout 3 fallout 3 vegas diablo 2, thats about it though.....completely flawless, also when I reinstalled ff7 for the 3rd and 4th time last night/this morning I double checked to see if res was correct b/f I installed remix. I have spent the last several hours resizing the opengl.cfg, and it does resize the display, however the internal res is always larger than the output

Aali · « **Reply #10 on:** 2011-02-27 18:54:24 »

The internal res is supposed to be larger than the output, it means you are scaling down instead of scaling up (which is a good thing), it doesn't affect the output (the output resolution does that, who would've guessed?). What about window mode? In the same resolution it should cover a bit more than your screen.

mrsparks · « **Reply #11 on:** 2011-02-27 18:58:50 »

how do you want me to go about this test?

Aali · « **Reply #12 on:** 2011-02-27 19:06:27 »

I dont know, set your TV to 1920x1080, run FF7 in 1920x1080 with fullscreen = no and see what happens. It should almost fit. (Not 2/3rd of it)

mrsparks · « **Reply #13 on:** 2011-02-27 19:16:59 »

this has been one of my numerous experiments. basically I have found that no matter what resolution I run in windowed or not, the screen cuts away a large portion of the viewing area. If I roll back to direct 3d basic driver it works fine in 640x480, I have been playing around with turning off preserve aspect for some mixed results. I can't remember which res it was but I had more like 7/8 viewing instead of 2/3. one strange thing is that as I change window mode on or off, and as I change res, the viewing area that is cut off shifts. Its always either the top is gone or the top/right side. In its place will be a black bar

Aali · « **Reply #14 on:** 2011-02-27 19:33:19 »

So its definitely not a problem with the driver then if you can't even get window mode working properly! I'm not sure I understood exactly what the problem is though, can you get a screenshot?

mrsparks · « **Reply #15 on:** 2011-02-27 19:38:40 »

sure, haven't done one on pc though, I hit print screen, but is something happened, I sure don't know where it went
k I have the pics, how can I post them?

never mind, figured out how to post

this one's running full screen at 1080

sorry, I didn't mean to step on anyone's toes

sl1982 · « **Reply #19 on:** 2011-02-27 21:09:58 »

Next time please edit your post to add more pictures instead of posting 3 times.

Aali · « **Reply #20 on:** 2011-02-27 21:43:46 »

But.. those pictures aren't anywhere close to 1920x1080..

Covarr · « **Reply #21 on:** 2011-02-27 21:45:37 »

Why don't you make sure Windows is set to 1920x1080 and try again?

mrsparks · « **Reply #22 on:** 2011-02-27 21:53:22 »

windows was set to 1080, when you run lcd tv, every time you change res(or input) it displays what its been changed too(including res),(god i wish it were that simple) I used win snipit to get pics, then posted to flickr, then resized kinda low quality I know

Aali · « **Reply #23 on:** 2011-02-27 22:17:09 »

Okay, so post the not-resized images. A screenshot is usually not helpful if you've edited it.

mrsparks · « **Reply #24 on:** 2011-02-27 22:30:53 »

if you have a place for me to post, that would be helpfull flickr degrades the origional to 1024x576, my origionals are all 1080,

I just installed ff7 and remix on my 2yr old laptop and it worked without a hitch.(this one stays at home)(almost ready for closet)
My other laptop is the one I take on the road with me(gone 80% of the year) I would really like to figure it out
I'm working with a quosmioX505 I7(q740) processor 4gig ram and a Gforce GTX 460M
win 7 home prem. (64bit)
I don't mind rolling back to the older drivers you guys developed on if there is some kind of incompatibility
