Do you use Alt+F4?

Lecter · 2019-04-29 22:05:56

I have this too. Maybe windows 10 bug...

Arkos !

I have that too in linux.. 800x600 is the intro screen and such resolution... sometimes in some situations it does not nicely reset back to the regular desktop resolution... i say it is a bf1942 bug since it also happens in linux (not always, ubuntu 18.04 has more problems with it than 19.04 kernel 5)

But with Linux it also happens with other games, so it might be a different issue here.

Me also have this problem

This is propably related to GPU scaling, if its not enabled windows has to change screen resolution back and forth.

This only happens to me when I launch BFV and then activate the Mod "POE" and then switching back to BFV again.
That ancient game scews modern systems like Windows 10 etc.

btw. Boycott any of your friends who is going to the army 'coz they are EVIL and STUPID beings!

I have win10 too, and this problem just happens when I quit the game without disconnect from server.

Res change was a somewhat rare issue for me on Win7, but never with Win10.
I no longer have to run any compatibility mode on the game anymore also.

Same issue here

Trench · 2020-02-26 00:22:15

It doesn't happen to me often enough to have already tried this, but Windows actually introduced a "reset and restart my display driver" hotkey.

Windows Key + CTRL + SHIFT + B
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel … nk-screens

I wonder if that might not be "a quick path back to normal resolution" in cases where this happens.

ohhh nice! now i just have to remember the buttons to use.

Crash · 2020-04-30 08:43:22

That happens when I Alt Tab out.

Crash · 2020-04-30 08:44:09

I think it happens when theres been a map change. And youve set that feature in windows where you allow the game to make changes to graphics isntead of allowing just windows to do it.

Arkos · 2020-04-30 12:54:50

...

It's all because of this 800x600 Game Menu and Blackscreen.exe

Also feel free to report back if you try that menu fix, and how it worked out for you.

So, that's really very annoying... That's why I'm relaunching this topic.

Nearly after every quit my desktop-resolution is set to 800x600....

Before I start BF it's set to 5120x2880,
ingame it's saved to 2560x1440 to have a small chance to read the names...

henk · 2021-03-23 10:37:42

buds solution works for me

JarJarBinks · 2021-03-30 22:18:33

There are 2 "videodefault.con" ....
After I insert into both !! 2560x1440, I get back to my desktop after exit in this size (thanx bud !!!).

But my nativ resolution is 5120x2880.
BF42 is best looking then, but I can't read the names above the players because they are to small.

So I switched desktop-resolution to 2560x1440.
Better to fall back to the desktop in 2560x1440 resolution.
800x600 is very annoying....

Not resolved but a workaround.

You could perhaps try this fix if you havent seen it before https://team-simple.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=881

JarJarBinks · 2021-03-31 21:39:39

Now it works perfect !!

Summary: It needs all fixes and hints together...

(Before you write in this .con files, duplicate each and rename one of the duplicates like _video.con and so on... as a backup):

1. The file "VideoDefault.con" located in "Settings" folder: For 16:9 it needs the line renderer.fieldOfView 1 changed to renderer.fieldOfView 1.33333
(1 is for 4:3) (see the links in topic #19 for other resolutions)

2. The file "Video.con" located in "Settings/Profiles/YourProfilename" need a line changed to your resolution: game.setGameDisplayMode 5120 2880 32 60
(It’s for a resolution of 5120 x 2880 and 32 bit colors and 60 hz/s)

3. The file "VideoCustom.con" located in the same folder need a line changed to your resolution without framerate: game.setGameDisplayMode 5120 2880 32

4. Because the nametags are too small to read now, you need the fix in the last post #23 to change the nametags to double size.

Now I can play in native screen-resolution, have the possibility to read the names, and can go back to the desktop without a change to 800x600 pixel, what is really not easy to change to correct size.

Thank you all for your help.

I think windows 10 has an option where it says something like "allow programs or windows to control scaling"
