KamauWarrior 1 Report post Posted May 23, 2017 Hi, I have recently been having an issue with War Thunder where, in fullscreen window, the game only takes up a quarter of the screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled war thunder on steam, and tried validating the game files but nothing happened. This issue also occurs on War Thunder (non-steam version). Any help or answers would be appreciated, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relliK 3,227 Report post Posted May 24, 2017 and on (true) fullscreen it's the same ?! could you maybe upload your dxdiag log (https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/316821-directx-diagnostics-tool-how-to/) so we get a general idea about what kind of system you got ?! and to know what kind of graphics settings you use it would be nice if you could also upload your latest launcher log (located in the ..\War Thunder\.launcher_log\ folder). since you said that changing the scaling options didn't work for you did you try all of the available options ? and was the game closed while you changed the option and you opened the game after you changed it or was the game open when you changed the options ? (i guess the game needs to be closed when changing the option, i dont think windows can change the running game 'on-the-fly' ^^) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relliK 3,227 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 did you also try changing the screen resolution setting from 'auto' to '1920 * 1080' on the launcher ? (that's basically the last thing i can think of atm) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
