Crazy resolution change after pressing "Quit Mission"

[Henrique]

Hello!

I have the following problem while playing campaign mode. The problem does not occur on quick mission builder nor in single missions. I run IL-2 1946 via Steam and do not have any mods installed. Have Windows 10 but the problem also occurred when I had Windows 7.

Every time I quit a mission on the single player campaing mode, the game automatically changes the resolution to 3200 x 1680! Huge letters and I can´t even see the buttons below the screen (have to quit by pressing ESC than Y).

I manually change the conf.ini file back to 1920x1080 and the game runs fine again. User interface, quick mission build, all good. If I enter a single player campaign mission and press quit again, it changes the resolution back to 3200x1680. There is a short pause and a black screen during the resolution change.

For your guidance, this is my conf file before loading the game:

[window]
width=1920
height=1080
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0
WideScreenFoV=1
UIColor=0
UIDetail=0
UIBackground=rnd

[GLPROVIDER]
GL=Opengl32.dll

[GLPROVIDERS]
Open GL=Opengl32.dll
DirectX=dx8wrap.dll

And this is how it is after I press quit mission in a single player campaign:

[window]
width=3200
height=1680
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0
WideScreenFoV=1
UIColor=0
UIDetail=0
UIBackground=rnd

[GLPROVIDER]
GL=Opengl32.dll

[GLPROVIDERS]
Open GL=Opengl32.dll
DirectX=dx8wrap.dll

If I manually decrease the screen resolution, the game will also increase the resolution drastically but not to 3200x1680. For example, if I set a res of 1024x768, pressing quit during a campaign mission will change the resolution to 2304x768.

Please, can anyone help me?

Thank you!

Check your DPI settings are ok in the os system settings

OK, I changed DPI escaling on the file configuration (right clicking on IL-2 file / properties / compatibility) and it works alright now, thanks.

I read something about resolution issues of IL2 in Win10 but do not remember details. May be you can search there:

First right click anywhere on your desktop, click display settings, then click on advanced display settings at the bottom, this will give you the recommended settings.

Instead of manually adjusting the config.ini, launch your IL-2 your game, click on setup, the click video modes, and adjusting resolution to your computers recommended settings. Also probably want to make sure you are on Open GL and not direct X.

Oh and make sure used Wide Screen FOV is off.
