Unable to get desired resolution

[QuinnZai]

I recently installed the game, (I haven't been around in a long while) and noticed the screen resolution was a little off when I saw the "Ne" of New player not showing. Also there is a small black pane on the right side because of an incorrect resolution being used of course.

I tried using the Use Desktop resolution button and it remained the same.
I set the resolution to my desktop's resolution and it still stayed the same.

I haven't changed any hardware since I last played the game.

Is the game unable to support 1280x1024? Because it's constantly on 1280x960 and that causes some stuff to not be visible.

Any ideas?

Uh, have you tried uninstalling Quinn.

I think 5:4 is an illegal resolution for freelancer. Although in theory -dx should cover it but perhaps not.

Alley was right.

Sounds like your monitor is offset for some reason--

provided your monitor has it's own button layout and isn't a CRT, there should be an option somewhere in one of said aforementioned button's menus. Good luck finding it.

Edit: Forced the resolution through another application and it made a difference. I don't know why it was offset the way it was. Also kinda off-putting that it still says 1280x960 but at least it works!
