At the suggestion of Vox Machina I purchased this rpg to play. The problem is, at start-up, the upper-left quarter of the screen takes up the entire screen. Its functioning otherwise .. the music plays, and if I look at my running programs, I can see what's suppose to be displayed. Please help.

I would ask:

What resolution is your normal desktop?

 

What OS are you using?

 

What video card do you have?

 

Attach your dxdiag output (see the sticky note)

Hello, and thanks for getting back to me and my (poorly worded, ham-handed) question. I’m not in front of my box at the moment, but my resolution at something like 12XX (1260?) by 7XX (760?). I am running win10 on a year-and-a-half year old Alienware machine with an Nvidia card. Sorry, I’ll get you all the specific info after my work in a couple hours.

 

To discribe my problem a little better: it’s like if the game is trying to display 1000X500 worth of data on a screen that’s only at 500X250 resolution. I only see the upper-left portion of the screen and cannot click on the dialogue box that’s being displayed in the middle of the screen. Which I know is there, because when I have the os display the running programs (sorry, I which I knew the exact word for this), it displays the entire screen.

 

Like I said, I’ll get all the pertinent data in a few hours.

Does your issue match the problem described here - https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/97392-windowsnvdia-game-resolution-does-not-match-native-resolution/?hl=%2Bscreen+%2Bresolution&do=findComment&comment=2008521 ?  If so does the temporary fix suggested there work for you?

Ok, very good ... yes, that sounds like the issue. Again, thanks for the quick response. And I promise I searched through the forums first, but I missed this. I will try that as soon as I am at home and will let you know the outcome!
