Not the whole picture

Submitted by Xiren on Thu, 2007-07-19 18:50. Technical Support

I installed the latest patch, but now when I play, I can not see the full screen. There is a title bar at the top and the bottom of the screen is cutoff a little. I made sure that I am not playing in WINDOWED mode. How do I fix this?

I take it that it was ok pre patch? or is this the first time you patched it?

have you tried runing it in windowsd mode?

I would sugest checking how well the image is centered on your monitor as if this is set wrong pats of the image can be off the screne.

If all else fails E-Mail MM directly preferably with a saved game.

Sounds to me like a screen resolution issue. Mine changed when I patched, for no reason I can determine, so it could be the same with Xiren.

When you first launch the game, there's a menu with an item where you can set the video resolution. I suggest going there and verifying that you're using the same resolution for the game as you are for Windows.

Could you post a screenshot?

Also, if you go into the Setup screen( from the launcher ) and open up the Display Driver option, how many are listed? If there's more than one, try switching to another than the one currently active.

In my case there's two drivers listed there, and one of them will only run the game in windowed mode regardless if the game's set to windowed mode or not.

Try lowering the resolution as in relativly high resolutions & I cant remember the values some people have reported strange effects on the display.

Do a search on this forum for more details
