Closed Missing and Unsupport Resolution Options

Can you please change your games resolution list in the options menu so that it pulls the list from the graphics drivers / operating system, rather then using manual list. Reason being my monitors are 1680x1050, I have 3 of them setup in surround, making my desktop/gaming resolution 5040x1050.

However the options lists 1600x1200, 1920x1080, 1920x1200 and 2560x1440 (you missed 2560x1600 which is also a valid single monitor resolution). None of these options are compatible with my monitor, and it tried to default to 1920x1080.

You game can run at 5040x1050, but I had to change the game to a valid single monitor resolution, enable fullscreen, then edit the configuration file with the correct resolution, the result is this:





So please can you pull the resolution list from the OS / Drivers so we don't have to use a work around to get your game to do something it's perfectly capable of doing.

 

I also play using 3 monitors. I have 3 1920x1080s for a total of 5760x1080 and would love to be able to play like that.

 

You can still get it to work but you need to modify the config file manually, start the game, set the resolution to 1920x1080, and enable fullscreen, then edit the file "Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\starbound.config", in your case, find the line that reads:

Code:

"fullscreenResolution" : [ 1920, 1080 ],

and replace it with

Code:

"fullscreenResolution" : [ 5760, 1080 ],

 

For some reason once I click full screen at the 1920x1080 and then minimize it changes the game. So when i open the file i see

{
"windowedResolution" : [ 1791, 1042 ],
"maximizedResolution" : [ 5760, 1018 ],
"maximized" : false,
"fullscreen" : false,
"zoomLevel" : 3
}

And when i bring the game back up it is filling up my far left monitor only in windowed mode.

Any ideas what may be happening or where I may be going wrong?
Could you copy and past all of what your files says before and after you edit it?
Do I have to do this fix each time I play?

Thank you for your help!

 

You need to quit out of the game with it still in fullscreen for it to save the values into the config file, then change the value and load the game again

 

Hm the file is still not showing a full screen setting for me. I exited the game from full screen and my document shows this info


{
"windowedResolution" : [ 1739, 1002 ],
"maximizedResolution" : [ 5760, 1018 ],
"maximized" : false,
"fullscreen" : true,
"zoomLevel" : 3
}

Mind copy and pasting yours so I can see an example of what i am aiming for?

 

Code:

{
  "zoomLevel" : 3,
  "fullscreen" : true,
  "windowedResolution" : [ 5024, 1012 ],
  "maximizedResolution" : [ 5040, 1050 ],
  "fullscreenResolution" : [ 5040, 1050 ],
  "maximized" : false
}

 

Maybe I should make a seperate thread incase only the OP is read, but 1360x768 is missing too. And no, I'm not talking about 1366x768. Small difference but still incorrect.

 

Fantastic! I have it working full resolution 5760x1080! Thanks for your help man! It looks amazing!
