Peldain Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Until recently I have had no problems with this game. My res was set at 1280x720 and I had no issues now however the game still reports the res is 1280x720 but my screen is only showing a 10 inch box in stead of full screen as it used to be. I have changed all the settings res and full /no border /windowed and my res is always the same 1920x1080 visually but the screen area changes in size. at this resolution I have bad input lag and its unplayable. I have also enabled and disabled all the graphics options in and out of the game and rolled back and up dated my drivers but nothing seems to work. I would be grateful for any ideas. My system: Acer Aspire Touch Z5801 i5-2.4Ghz NVidia GT520 1GB 6GB DDR3 Win 7-64Bit Edited October 11, 2014 by Peldain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rydian Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Wait, so it does this windowed too? Screenshot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peldain Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Afraid so the menu says one thing but the graphics show something else I would show you a screen shot but I have no idea how sorry basically the resolution is apparently fixed at my screens max, but the game display menu says 1280x720 but that's not what you see if you change the res in the menu. You should see a difference in the graphics, not a resize of the display area with no other affect. Edited October 10, 2014 by Peldain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peldain Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Hi Followed the instructions in your post works well till I tried to paste in to my post it didn't paste so I copied the links by hand hope that helps. In the images the res and settings are off and supposedly 1280x720 but they aren't as I hope you can tell Edited October 11, 2014 by Peldain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peldain Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 for some reason it doesn't like that last pic but hopefully you can see what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rydian Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2523738 Looks like there should be an option in the Nvidia display control panel to change the way that things are scaled when in fullscreen non-native resolutions.

Peldain Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Yup that was a long time ago NVidia have drastically changed their control panel since 2012 that option doesn't exist anymore. I wish it did, I've checked the panel that I have and it has many options just not that one Edited October 11, 2014 by Peldain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peldain Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) yup the Intel card does have that option I've just tried it and it doesn't have any effect on the game as the game runs on the NVidia card also the issue I'm having relates to the resolution not changing regardless of adjustment in the settings menu, but which does seem to bugger up full screen mode with a 8'' box in the middle in stead of full screen and border less full screen looks great but the res is too high so I get mouse lag and you cant adjust the border less full screens resolution for some reason hence the problem Edited October 11, 2014 by Peldain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rydian Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yeah, borderless fullscreen is known as "fake fullscreen" because it doesn't have Warframe take full control of the screen, it just scales itself up to your native res with no border and sets itself on top. As for fullscreen, what's happening is that it's not scaling for some reason, it's using "centered timings" instead. There should be some option to change this, but I'm not familiar with the latest nvidia/intel hybrid control panels. You might try upgrading your drivers or googling around.

Peldain Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 I've tried the scaling but that's only the size of the display, whether its windowed or fake full screen or full screen the scaling only alters the size /shape of the display. That's annoying but I can live with it, the problem is my system cant run at full maxed resolution and give good performance. Regardless of the display size /shape and regardless of the reported resolution in the game display settings, the resolution recently is stuck at max and wont change. Before it was at 1280x720 and my performance was great and the display was full screen, then I started the game after an up date and the display was centred and the resolution was maxed, when I tried to change the settings nothing worked but windowed /borderless still worked after a fashion but the res didn't change so performance didn't ether. When you change the resolution the picture quality changes every thing becomes bigger, the mouse pointer /reticule for example, but this isn't happening, I've tried similar changes in other games and a visible difference is obvious as well as a performance boost, which comes from a drop in the dpi required from the graphics card and up and till recently this was true of Warframe too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peldain Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) I'm hoping this is clear in these pictures the format is windowed mode the resolution changed in each but no visual difference occurs and no performance change ether which is not as it should be 800x600 1280x720 1600x900 1920x1080 Edited October 12, 2014 by Peldain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rydian Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Click the restore/resize button in the very upper-right, to the left of the red x. Then change resolution settings, hit the apply button in the bottom-right, then close and restart Warframe. EDIT: See if this method works. https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/323508-what-happened-to-the-graphics/ Edited October 12, 2014 by Rydian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peldain Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 yes I made custom resolutions and they work fine in any thing but Warframe, if I had the cash I would buy another system but I don't, also this is a recent problem so I believe its a glitch in the game settings, possibly my GPU/card is now not supported?, I really don't know what else to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
