Full Screen Mode

[Bobbuttons]

I spoke to soon, as the issue has reappeared.

When I first installed and opened the game, I changed from windowed to full screen. It made the change, but the full screen was zoomed in toward the center of what the normal screen would be. I could select game modes or login to PT, but the bottom row of options was off screen and unable to be accessed, such as settings or the advance option during create a league wizard. When I restarted my system and started the game up, everything was fine and full screen was perfect. Then I closed out of the game and closed my laptop for a while. When I opened it back up (from sleep mode, not shutdown) and launched the game, the zoomed in full screen was back. Anybody know of a fix for this or is this a bug that must be eliminated? I imagine that restarting again would fix it but having to restart my computer every time I wanted to play this game would likely make me choose to not play it more times than not...

Thanks, and, as always, Markus...KUTGW!

Bump, as I originally deleted the post but it turns out there is still an issue with it.

[IanIachimoe]

oh man, same. very annoying. had this in 21 as well.

In & hoping for a fix. hate playing windowed.

[IanIachimoe]

it seems to work if it's the first thing I do on the laptop.

after doing anything else, I get what you posted above. everything running off screen.

I tried taking a screenshot but the SS looks like it should.

Having a similar issue so thought I'd post here instead of making a new thread and clogging up the subforum.

So the game seems to work fine on my computer (mac running most-recent OS updates), but when I connect external monitor and try to play the game on that screen I get the same weird zoomed in issue, but it happens even if I'm not in full screen mode. If I drag the OOTP window back to laptop screen it's normal again though. Screenshots below of what it looks like on my laptop and on the external monitor.

Never had this issue with OOTP21 as far as I can recall. Oh and I can't click anything on the zoomed-in window

edit: embedded images were obnoxiously huge and i couldnt see how to attach so just included links

Click on the "file" and go down to "settings" and under the far left column "Interface" make sure "display mode" is set to "windowed" and make sure "window size" is set to "Maximized". At first this did nothing but I happened to exit the entire program and then re-enter the entire program and then I maximized my windows screen clicking on the box in the upper corner and when I reopened my game and checked on the stadium again and it was now full screen. I did, however, first load into a stadium mod from OOTP BB 21 and try it first and it worked for that stadium too. Very frustrating til I stumbled into this fix.

full screen without the bar on top? not windowed? not sure I understand.

the very first time I use the laptop for the day & run OOTP it will be in full screen (if chosen) & look great. anytime opening after that it reverts back to the zoomed in pic you posted above with half the display off to the right of the screen.

I really want a fix for this.

I'm having this same problem with my external monitor.

Uuuuggggh. Not this again. The only way to fix it that I can tell is by going into settings on the computer and setting the scale to 100%. Anything above and the screen will be all off center. When I do this, it turns the text into little germs that I can barely see. Seriously, 22 years. Fix the freaking resolution please.

I can't get the game to stay on my 2nd monitor while in full screen and my mouse cursor movement is incredibly choppy/laggy on fullscreen but the game runs fine otherwise. I don't remember experiencing either issue on OOTP21

They never fixed it last year so don't hold your breath.

For anyone who's having this happen, if you can post a copy of your debug file, that would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi Lukas. All you have to do to recreate it is have your windows system scaling at 125%, start the game, go to settings and select full screen mode. It will flash black, and come back on and look great. It’s not until you exit the game and restart it that it will shift right and down thereby making it unplayable and requiring you to go into window system, set scaling back to 100%, restart the game and return it to window mode. Not fun. The problem with just leaving the windows scaling at 100% is that it makes everything super tiny, which again isn’t fun.

[ffalcon2009]

My debug reports are empty, likely because the game isn't crashing. It's just not handling the switch to full-screen mode. The only way I was able to get this to work was if I did what was suggested above and switched windows to 100% scaling instead of the recommended 150%. The problem with that is it makes everything else on the computer really small if you go to do anything else. My screen resolution is 2560 x 1440. I hope this helps!

[Lukas Berger]

Thanks for the additional info. We'll try to recreate this.

I've tried doing this 100 times today and I can't get it to work.

Had the same problem and figured it out. Locate the actual launcher (most likely Library > Application Support > Steam > steamapps > common > OOTP22) and right click on the application, then Get Info. Click the box that says "Open In Low Resolution." That solved it for me (I'm running a 2020 MacBook Pro, Big Sur).

We actually do have this up as a tip, here. Sorry not to have mentioned that already. Sometimes it's hard to tell just exactly which issues are which at a glance.

Lukas, any update here? My full-screen is far larger than my actual screen, it's really irritating. Thank you.
