http://www.gamespot.com/features/starcraft-ii-beta-performance-and-image-preview-6251839/ It's rather pathetic that 1920x1200 has less viewing area than 1920x1080. I'm forced to run SC2 with black bars as a result. | ||

I play on a 30inch monitor at home, 2560x1600 resolution, I played just before I left to a friends house, and everything was perfect, the game looked normal. I installed SC2 at my mates house and it also worked fine, though his monitor is a 24inch. I played the game for a couple of days there. Upon returning home and launching the game, everything is way too zoomed in, the screen looks exactly like the screenshots posted even though I have 2560x1600 selected. I've tried everything, reinstalled drivers, checked the variables.txt, running in windowed mode, changing the resolution, zooming out, even running in compatability mode, googled my heart out trying to find out what the hell went wrong but I can't find a thing. It's dumbfounding because I didn't change a thing, I wasn't even at home, and suddenly my game is ridiculously zoomed in, when I actually do zoom in, I'm practically a first person drone. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers | ||

It's not a bug or error - it's a setting. On December 09 2011 12:29 Sundy wrote: I have this exact same problem m3deman... Has anyone found out how to fix it? [...]2560x1600 resolution [...]friends house [...]other monitor (other resolution) [...]Upon returning home and launching the game, everything is way too zoomed in [...]I'm practically a first person drone. It's a mind thing. You (probably) got used to look at SC2 at your friends resolution, and now it looks different at home. Your resolution is of the 16 : 10 aspect ratio (which is the one that gives the second largest perspective) and your friend probably have a 16 : 9 monitor? "Fix": Change your Windows Desktop resolution to a 16 : 9. Mandatory: Expect a stretched image or black bars to appear (look up GPU scaling for your graphics card). It's not a bug. Starcraft just looks different on different aspect ratios.  Edit: I need to comment on this: On November 30 2011 13:51 andrea20 wrote: Starcraft 2 doesn't render aspect ratios other than 16 : 9 well at all. Rubbish. It renders all aspect ratios the same way.

But now at home, I know everything is off because when I go split drones my sensitivity is WAY off and I end up moving my mouse past the mineral line, really don't understand it. And I did set my sens at his house to be the same % as I had it at home, we also have the exact same mouse. At the moment I'm re-installing the game, when it's done I'll try what you've suggested and post an update and/or screenshot. Cheers for the reply though | ||

Cheers for the reply though Isn't that the point? you arent supposed to see "more of the map" by having a larger resolution, always been like this for competitive games. Mouse sens is probably down to your dpi setting, cursor accel, mousepad. | ||

Could you maybe get a screenshot sent from your friend too? I'm curious to compare them . Also, don't forget to take the viewing distance into account (30" vs 24" is notable).On December 09 2011 15:20 Hydra` wrote: Mouse sens is probably down to your dpi setting, cursor accel, mousepad. I believe resolution plays a role on sens too: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Mouse_settings which could explain the difference? | ||
