Title: Tip: Holomatch Screen Resolution
Post by: Callum603 on March 18, 2018, 12:40:43 AM
After trying to get my client to run at 1920X1080 for a couple of weeks, I've finally figured out what has been causing the issue (thanks to Scott for talking about screen scaling during a test on something unrelated earlier).

To my knowledge, this only applies to Windows 10 as it's the only Windows version I know of to have the full screen optimisation feature.  (Please do correct me if I'm wrong).

If, like me, when setting the screen resolution too high in game, it loads with you only being able to see the bottom left corner, or similar, try the following.

Go to the shortcut you use, or the EXE itself (the location of this will vary depending on where you decided to install, but it might be C:\Program Files (x86)\Star Trek Voyager Elite Force)

Now, either on your shortcut of the EXE (ioq3-stvoyHM.exe), right click it and select Properties.  Switch to the 'Compatibility' tab and check the 'Disable full-screen optimisations'.  Apply and launch the game.

You should then be able to set your screen resolution higher with...
/r_customwidth "1920";r_customheight "1080"

Replacing the values with what you desire, the above being for 1920X1080.

Alternatively, in the console, just type /r_mode "-1" and you don't have to bother with compatibility mode.

I tried using that, but it didn't work for me, only the compatibility setting did.
