3840X1600

[GJ51]

It's been a problem that apparently FD is not going to address

3840X1600 has the bottom of the display cutoff that's clearly apparent when you go into outfitting and can't read the stats across the bottom

I'm no graphics expert - so I'm wondering if there's a way to use the grphics settings to get the outfiiting screen to display properly, perhaps using supersampling and upscaling?


It is odd thatr ED recognizes 3840X1600 as a resolution option but than cuts off the content at the bottom. I suspect it's actually displ;aying the vertical resolution at something other than 1600 pixels.

I'm at that resolution too and notice no such things ?

What's your original monitor resolution and aspect ratio? It looks like this issue might be related to that.

You haven't managed to switch on a virtual display function that stretches your display beyond the edges of the monitor?

Native reolution is 3840X1600

I've tested the problem in Fullscreen, Windowed, and Borderless modes.

This is an Alienware (Dell) AW3821DW monitor

I've not dabbled with a virtual display - not sure if there's an adjustment for an overscan situation...

Tried using the Nvidia Control panel resize options - no help

try set everything to default. If it is not happening in other games start with removing the graphics.xml (graphicsoverride? Can not remember)

Have you made any graphics modifications? Same monitor?

On the Outfitting screen you can see the jump stats clearly? Mine are cut in half horizontally.

Is your text scaling set higher than 100%?

No

Thanks to everyone

I found the issue

I had pushed the FOV beyond what is possible through the options menu by a manual edit in Settings.xml

Dialing it back a bit solved the problem

What an odd aspect ratio. Something like 24:10?

Or is it a 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio display with non-square pixels?

It's 24:10 (or 12:5), and yep, it's rare. Only a handful of manufacturers build those, and only LG had actual gaming panels with that ratio. That's what I have. And I absolutely love the extra vertical space vs 1440p.

LG, Dell , Viewsonic, Benq, and Acer are the only mfgrs listed on Newegg

They call them 21:9 ultrawides

No idea how they come up with that...
