Resolution issues

[BuildHappy]

Yesterday my pc pushed an update that reset a ton of crap. I have been trying to undo some of their lousy defaults since, but have forgotten how to fix my game resolution issues.




None of my game settings have changed in ages, and I do remember struggling with something similar a long time ago... I thought I'd see if it rang anyone's bell here, too...




I prefer the largest map, since my monitor is set up in my living room, about 6-8 feet from my couch. I like the biggest map for the best detail on my 1920x1080 monitor.




Today however, opening the big map covered the UI and made it impossible to close the map... (see images attached) I had to exit the game to 'get out from behind' the map...  grrrrr




What did I do last time that fixed the map size issue? Whatever it was, I was able to normally open and close the big map, it did not block the UI, or prevent use of any UI buttons.




Damn Windows 10, I have truly grown to dislike you...

Try change the User Interface Scale, once I try changed that and it messed up a little bit the interface.




You can also try windowed option with smaller resolution and after loading you can maximize the window.




 




Hope it helps

*sigh* none of the usual tips or tricks has reminded me how I fixed this before...




but exiting the game -almost- fixes it: if i load a save that had a large map open, covering the UI, sure enough the large map is -still- open but, it is not on top of the UI anymore, and i am able to close it.




just got to not use large maps anymore, until i fix my resolution issues. ..

There should be automatic hotkeys assigned to the toolbar buttons.  It kind of breaks because there's so many buttons. But the first few should be assigned 1-9 in each toolbar.




Like if you press the number 2 it shoild open the Tools toolbar. And then 5 should open the DS minimal toolbar. And then 5 again should open the largest of the maps. Pressing 5 again should close it even if you can't see to click on it with the mouse.

thanks i will look at my hotkeys list. i don't think i reassigned any, though. if this works, i'll be quite happy to get that big map back. it's huge and i love it.
