Resolution goes to hell after driver update
-
After a driver update, the game won’t launch in any other resolution than the default UI one.
It’ll only resize (randomly; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t) after a full system reboot and only once. After exiting a flight (TE, dogfight, campaign, etc.), if I attempt to fly a new mission, the in-game resolution won’t resize past the default UI one.
Turning NVidia overlay off or setting g_bCenterUI to “1” did not fix the problem. Alt-tabbing does nothing either.
Kindly please help, thanks!

see post 4 by Arty in thread ‘bms launches in low res…’
You could try that.

Hi Axe,
Sorry, I forgot to mention. I did try that (deleting dx9display.dsp); didn’t work.
Also, disabling fullscreen optimisations prevents the game from launching altogether.

Hi ChrisBV
I’m not that good at this. But I ain’t scared to take a shot, even if stupid.
Only thing I’ve seen on my end is that Falcon likes the resolution to be one that the ‘display’ is confirmed to be ok with. Is the nvidia setting for your display confirmed one that your ‘display’ specs will handle.
In other words, it’d be possible to have nvidea and Falcon both set wrong.Admittedly not a likely solution, as you have been running ok prior to the new driver install I assume.

that is why you make a restore point , you might get lucky and give that a whirl and get back what you once had.

The last couple of Nvidia Drivers did this to my machine also.
Had to install an older version to fix it. -

Try running the sim in “windowed” mode. The 3D sim will run in the resolution you have selected in the sim settings anyway:

I have applied the suggested fix and, after several tests I can confirm it solved my problem 100%. Thanks a lot!

Thanks! But this ruins the mouse cursor if alt-tab in and out…

I just right click the BMS 4.33 Icon select properties then click the Compatibility tab then select "disable full screen optimizations " this restores the screen resolution I have to do this after every windows 10 update.

Nah, it’s not working for many people nowadays. M$ messed stuff up with old (e.g. Dx9) apps…

Modest MS allowed me to roll back to 1709 again. Back to sanity land. Newest NV driver too. All good, no lowres stuff.
