Patch for MA. Vol 1 should be already out !

[gilesgoat]

Unless I am mistaken I prepared it even before Polybius and gave all stuff to Yak.

He should have published the patches both of them the same day ???

Have you checked ??

[p-saurus]

There was an update that downloaded for MA at the same time as Polybius.

[PVB]

Definitely had an update a couple of days ago.

[Whiteball]

Only just had the chance to check again. All seems good now

Must've just been my Steam not updating them both at the same time for some reason.

Just checked out the patch.

Sadly it hasnt fixed the resolution issues and I still only have a max res of 1366 x 768. Was this fix in the patch ?

The thing is, I don't have any of those monitors here to see how it looks like and I can't test/fix it.

The problem is the whole nature of those games "they are designed for a certain FOV", if you make a "weird thing" like a FOV that has a really strange aspect ratio and is much wider than taller it's a serious problem.

Could you at least send me ( or better put it here ) a screenshot of how it looks like ?

I don't have a clue about how it looks like.

Cheers.


The look is subjective and needs the monitor to be appreciated.

The issue is that the resolution chooser just stops at 1366 x 768.

The Nvidia control panel lists all these resolutions that are not listed

1600 x900
1600 x 1024
1600 x 1200
1680 x 1050
1920 x 1080
1920 x 1200
1920 x 1440
2560 x 1440
3440 x 1440 (native)

Now one of those is the fairly standard 1440 P resolution.

Starting at such a low resolution and having it upscaled to 3440 x 1440 just looks bad. This issue is prevelent across all the Llamasoft games on Steam. I own them all by the way.

Every single one has the resolution issue. I can accept the lack of wide screen support, it is a small niche but I cant see why the absolute bog standard 1440P (2,560 x 1,440) resolution is missing.

I have killed my 1080Ti through an attempt to water cool the card and so have now had to fall back to my old 1080, but this card also shows the same issue.

If you want to send code to run to enumerate the resolutions please contact me via the message system.

Hello,

I also have the same resolution issue (MA vol1. & Polybius)...it lists a bunch but gives up before going high enough. I'm running a 4k screen and while running in a window I can full size it and it looks great and Steam happily reports 60fps.

Hitting F1 takes it fullscreen but at the selected much lower resolution.

It works, but it's a bit annoying to have to have the window frame and having to hide the taskbar in this mode... but the worse thing is I can't use the mouse for Gridrunner without going full screen.

Any thougths Giles ?

Any thougths Giles ?

No but we'll see with the total NEW OPenGL/OpenVR version going on that uses a completely different set of functions.

Soon to be up for testing we'll let you know where
