Ultra wide Monitor support?

Jsmitty · 06-12-2019, 08:21 PM

Looking at purchasing an ultra wide display and was wondering if anyone has played OOTP 20 via a 21 X 9 display.

If so, how did it work for you? Black bars?
Thanks.

It has windowed mode. Not sure if many people play it in full screen mode.

I play it on a LG ultra wide monitor... Works great except for start up times are horrible. I play in full screen but also keep a small windowed size I can drop it down to with one click before shutting down or else the game will take at least 5 full minutes to start the next time if not closer to 10

The drop down menus don't work properly with the window using the whole screen. You can un-maximize it to regular size and things work correctly, but it's obviously not set up to work that way.

Not ultra-wide, but I was wondering what folks thought of the OOTP experience using a 27" monitor?

I had a 24" prior, and this year I am on a new laptop. However, I plan to get a new desktop either this year or next, and would be looking at a 27", likely a Zowie RL2755.

I use a 27 inch but I use windowed mode so I can multitask.
