Left screen about 1/6 of the screen cut off

[iixwh3l4nxii]

Like the titles says, it's really annoying, it makes IG chat annoying, I can't see who's said something and I can only see the last half of the sentence.


Any ideas? I've deleted all the config files with no result, it happened after I moved from free version to the bought version.

[Orcinus]

Are you running in windowed mode?

[iixwh3l4nxii]

No, full screen 16:10

[Orcinus]

Post your config files in spoilers & I'll take a look.

There are several - these will be in a folder called "ArmA 2" in My Documents (in XP PRO, no idea about W7) called ArmA2.cfg and ArmA2OA.cfg

& if using the default user profile there will be two files username.ArmA2Profile & username.ArmA2OAProfile.

Please also let me know what the monitor resolution is (e.g., 1920x1200 or whatever).

[iixwh3l4nxii]

Yeah I already deleted them and my desktop resolution is 1440x900, as is my IG resolution, here's the files in text form though:
(there's only ArmA2OA and "WHELAN" which is my ArmA2OAProfile)

I noticed this, would that have anything to do with it? it looks a bit odd if it's supposed to be a resolution.

[Orcinus]

I noticed this, would that have anything to do with it? it looks a bit odd if it's supposed to be a resolution.

I believe they should be the same as Win_W & Win_H. My ArmA2OA config also has WinDefW & WinDefH set to values (1923, 1185) very similar to the screen resolution (1920 x 1200), though as far as I can remember those were set by the game, not by me editing the .cfg.

[iixwh3l4nxii]

Ok so what should I do?

[Orcinus]

Try editing the files so that the Render values are the same as the WIN_W & WIN_H, see what happens.

BTW I think you may have set HDR to high or soemthing. The general view, IIRC, is that this should be on "normal".

[iixwh3l4nxii]

Yeah that's only temporary, I was on DayZ and I couldn't see shit and I had no gun

---------- Post added at 21:57 ---------- Previous post was at 21:12 ----------

Update: Didn't change anything after I did what you said, why is this problem so uncommon? I've found like 2 people with the problem on google and neither of the fixes posted worked.

[Orcinus]

OK, I messed around with a new profile into which I pasted the contents of the original user .ArmA2OA.Profile.

I managed to get the screen clipping at all 4 sides by changing the uiTopLeftX, uiTopLeftY,uiBottomRightX, and uiBottomRightY.

The settings I had were (for my 1920x1200 display)

fovTop=0.75;
fovLeft=1.2;
uiTopLeftX=0.30416667;
uiTopLeftY=0.26499999;
uiBottomRightX=0.69583333;
uiBottomRightY=0.73500001;
IGUIScale=0.47;

If I changed the cited parameters to

uiTopLeftX=0.204;
uiTopLeftY=0.165;
uiBottomRightX=0.596;
uiBottomRightY=0.635;
IGUIScale=0.47;

All four edges got clipped , that is the scene was now bigger than the screen. The action menu and weapon/ammo status texts were truncated, & the video options menu was clipped off at the bottom (I haven't figured out what IGUIScale does yet, if you find out please LMK!). A bit weird as I assumed these only affected the UI for menus, etc.

So I suggest you change the values you have by small increments, say 0.1, for all four at once. You can't do that while the game is running so it means a lot of exit/edit/start cycles. Back up the profile first!.

When it's nearly right drop the increment size.

FWIW, these are the entries from the ArmA2OA.cfg:

Resolution_W=1920;
Resolution_H=1200;
winX=0;
winY=0;
winW=1920;
winH=1170;
winDefW=1923;
winDefH=1185;
Render_W=1920;
Render_H=1170;

which were unchanged by my editing the user.Profile
