Screen cuts off (Resolution Issue)

I have an Nividia GTS 450 graphics card hooked up with HDMI to my LCD HD Samsung 22" TV for my monitor.

My native screen resolution is 1280 x 720 however it the top/bottom/sides get cut off and appear off the screen so I go to my Nividia control panel and resize the desktop to 1202 x 670 so it fits perfectly and I can see everything. I also set the scaling mode in the Nividia panel to Scale Full-Screen using the GPU (not the display) and checked the override game settings button.

I have tried this and started up SimCity but the game will either cut the edges off still or I can make it really small like 800 x 600 which is too tiny and doesn't take up the whole screen.

In the SimCity options there is only 1 resolution option, 1024 x 720 0Hz, which I don't know why this game doesn't have more options and some games I play even detect if my screen overscans and will automatically give me my 1202 x 670 screen resolution even if it is uncommon.

My HDTV monitor doesn't support 1:1 pixel, zoom, or overscan mode.

Sometimes I can even manually go into the graphic files in the game directory and change the resolution manually in the code however I tried that and it doesn't work either.

So, I'm lost here, any ideas? Can anyone from technical support help or possibly send in a request to get the display issues fixed and list more display options like a lot of other games allow?

Please let me know. 😕mileyhappy:

Thanks,

Cody V.

  • Ok, so appearntly there must have been an update that fixed this because I just set my resolution to native and loaded the game and the screen size works and doesn't get cut off anymore. However there are only 2 choices in the ingame resolution settings. Anyhow this works lets hope the rest of the game's bugs were fixed.

    I still can't get the bottom of the monopoly board to show up. It used to work just fine and now all of a sudden it is cut off. I can't seem to contact anyone from pogo club to help me.

    Simcity has nothing at all to do with any game of Monopoly.  Neither is any "Pogo Club" part of the SimCity game, sorry.  You are in the wrong place.

    You must CHOOSE a game to deal with, and then choose the matching AHQ forum to post your question in, and then add some useful information to the post you publish in the right place.

     This forum remains a Simcity 2013 forum.  That is the only game for discussion in here and in this thread.  We have no clues to deal with in this game.  You also are off topic with your new comment.

    I am 86 years old and cannot fix the issue of the texas holdem screen being cut off. Can not you people fix your own game? I cannot renew unless this issue is resolved.
