1600 x 900 Resolution Issue

[Beldon]

I am running on a 1600 X 900 resolution monitor. This happens in both full screen and windowed mode. I am trying to use windowed mode since I have two monitors.

My issue is that some of the text is chopped by a horizontal bar running through it. This occurs in a few places down the length of the screen.

Wondering if anyone else is seeing this issue. Is there a suggested resolution to run at?

I tried that but with dual monitors it just goes black when in full screen mode. Then I can not get it back to windowed without closing and manually changing the ini file to Windowed=TRUE.

Shouldn't be an issue. I have two monitors too. Just give it a second when the screen's black and alt enter again. It should fix it.

Some have the black-screen issues on switching between FS and windowed mode, and some doesn't. It's kinda odd.

Is 1600x900 the native res. of your monitor ?
The biggest draw-down of flatscreens is that especially TFT looks absolutely awfull on especially small text if you don't run at the native resolution (the actual physical resolution of the tft panel used).

This can give really strange screen anomalies in some games because if your not running at the physical res of the monitor, because the screen is interpolating the res you are running at down or up to the actual physical res.

You can try out different resolutions. some may look awfull and some may look better, but the best and best readable will be the native res.

Also, especially the Titanium client that P99 uses has really many strange video anomalies that was later fixed with newer clients, incl. DX device error once in a while when switching between resolutions and windowed/full screen mode. And the handling of switching to full screen also gives some people (like me) the error of having to HAVE to switch to the correct res withing game after going fullscreen to hide the windows menu wich still overlaps the game after using ALT-Enter to go full screen.

It would have benefitted a lot in less bugs if they would have used a newer client.
Unpatched Titanium client is very buggy

I have/had the same issue, and using WinEQ2 has helped with the black screen issue.

Where is the ini file that I have to change? I just accidentally went fullscreen mode and I can not play at all, screen is always black and no way to change it back.

Okay nevermind, I found it in the eqclient.ini
