Full Version: Problem with resolution when using DSLauncher.
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I've set a custom resolution (1280x1024) via perfoptions (and edited hudshift to fit properly) and it's all good when I launch the game via Freelancer.exe to play SP. When I launch it via Launcher though, no matter what resolution I set there, it's always stretched vertically. I tried setting 1280x1024 via launcher as well as using "use desktop resolution" but with no luck. Any way to fix this? As far as I know it's impossible to play MP via freelancer.exe, is that true?

There's not much I can do about this. It's dsace that doesn't like 1280x1024.

There isn't a way to force the Launcher to 1280x1024.
My monitor's default resolution is 1280x1024. When I launch trough the launcher it sets the resolution to 1280x960. It does that without stretching (it leaves black background on the top and bottom). So I'm not sure why in your case it stretches it.

As for playing online with freelancer.exe: It's doable, but I've heard it's not recommended.

You can post the last logs from DSAce.log so we can take a look.
By the way that's your monitor's default resolution and OS?
