Cannot get 1920x1080 to work properly

Post by max_torch »

I am using a Samsung Smart TV as my monitor using an HDMI cable. When Wesnoth is in fullscreen, the resolution selector is greyed preventing me from picking any resolution other than 1280x720. When in windowed mode, 1920x1080 doesn't appear as an option. I tried editing the preferences file in order to manually type in the 1920x1080 resolution and Wesnoth started but the window was not centered , the top bar of the window was offscreen and i had no idea how to move the window into the monitor, nor did I have an idea if the Window was the same size as or larger than the monitor display. So I thought - guess it's not possible.

Until, with my setup I was able to get Deus Ex GOTY edition to run 1920x1080 fullscreen after downloading and applying a community fix.
So, I guess if Deus Ex can be made to work 1920x1080 on the setup, then theres probably also a fix for wesnoth for my setup?

Any suggestion?

It sounds like your TV isn't 1080p, to be honest.

So are you saying that the resolution changes when wesnoth is in fullscreen mode? What happens if you just maximize the window? Perhaps tell your window manager to hide window decorations then there is no difference to fullscreen anyway.

  • Yes the resolution immediately changes to 1280x720 and the game does not allow me to change it, when enabling to fullscreen.
  • 1920x1080 does not appear as an option in the ingame menu while the game is in windowed mode.
  • If I set the resolution to 1920x1080 via the preferences file before launching, upon launch the top bar of the window is outside of the screen - I do not know how to maximize or move the window when it is in this state.

I tried to just maximize the window. I get 1280x657 resolution.....
Well, I'll be content now with how it is thanks for suggesting things to try.
