Resolution issues/HUD/Text Size - Explorer487 - 01-29-2015
So. With a new version of this mod, the old issue of this godforsaken resolution issue arises again. So that font/text/hud and all that shenanigans is all out of alignment and everything is huge. I really can't be bothered going through all the file changes again to make it fit the screen which runs at 1920x1080. -DX doesn't work in that new launcher thingamajig in 'Optional Arguments'. I hope there's an easy fix to this. Anyone have any idea?
Cheers in advance.

You can set "Use desktop resolution" to "On" in the Launcher. If you are referring to Hudshift, someone had troubles and found a solution:

Well. The positioning of the HUD itself, doesn't bother me. Though the fact the Text and hud size itself, is scaled up too far and for some reason the new launcher doesn't feel like fixing it for me, means thruster status/speed ect doesn't actually appear at all at the bottom of the screen. Also, fonts/text don't fit in boxes and the whole thing is just a big shenanigans. 'Use Desktop Resolution' only makes it fit the screen. it doesn't seem to alter text sizes/Hud size so it scales it down relative to the screen size. (Usually small for a 1080 Monitor)
Suppose i'll just leave it. Going through all the files and changing stuff manually is time consuming. I don't seem to be able to find a 'Fix' or workaround for this that doesn't involve changing lines of command stuff in the game files.

I think the resolution support just seems not to work at all for some people. I've never actually been able to change resolution with the -dx or -dWxH parameters for 1360x768. It remains as 1024x768 no matter what. The options in the new launcher, likewise, have no effect. I can only successfully change it by manually editing PerfOptions.ini and setting the resolution there.
Only problem then is the HUD is entirely off-screen, so I can't actually play the game. I tried using HudShift to fix that, but it doesn't work properly. Whether I use horizontal auto or the 16:9 option, the result is essentially the same: HUD off-screen or cut-off in the middle. Still as unplayable (and yes, I moved the INI file into the interface folder).
At this point, the only thing that actually works to fix my HUD is the old widescreen mod: modify cameras.ini, fonts.ini, and rich_fonts.ini, along with PerfOptions.ini. The fonts end up pretty oversized (especially on the navmap), but they can be tweaked a bit. Unfortunately I'm assuming these edits will prevent me from actually playing online. :P

I used to have to do that each and every time the thing updated. And i'm tired of it. It's about time somebody decided to make a fix for this. New Launcher and all.
Edit: Found a fix it seems which involves taking the Fonts files and Cameras files from 4.87 and overwriting the 88, files with those Seemed to work for me, doesn't trip the anticheat.
