Tried all sorts last night but cant get it to fit.ok if i drag into another monitor .All drivers up to date

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
AMD FX (tm)-9590 Eight-core Processor
31.96 GB RAM
1920x1080,60 Hz

in another monitor

wow, strange toolbar... hmmm, we have had skyline running on 4k screens by other users. But we ourselves do not own a 4k monitor for testing.

The next update may prove more useful for you as we have made many changes and removed many limits on resolutions etc...

Not sure what's going on, Granada. I have two monitors, one of which is 4K. The Skyline editor works fine on my 4K monitor.

Thank you for the input @monkeyfrogstudio

@Granada, have you tried loading the editor directly on the 4k monitor, perhaps its because it loads on the 1080p monitors only.
Before trying this, why dont you also remove the "C:\Aurasoft UK\Skyline Game Engine\Bin\Win64\Skyline.cfg".
If on free version, then replace the win64 with the win32 folder path instead.

This will force skyline to rechoose the graphics adapters. When booting, choose DX11 on and hopefully this will work

excellent. Glad your up and running

[Granada]

Thanks,there is still something going on with the resolution .i cant click on the player in the main view,the only thing i can click on is the main level mesh.and then i cant click on the widget it just disappears like i am missing it,also when i run the scene the hud is half way up the screen.i will play with it some more

[epsilonion]

Did you find a solution to this?
I dont use 4K so I do not have any issues but I would like to know what the solution is..

[Granada]

No not yet,as i said i cant select small items,the pointer is off set,and the hud is half way up the screen when i test run the level.but i will try some more experimenting time permitting ,crazy time of year now .i might just uninstall and start afresh

(Edit ok uninstalled and reinstalled Still the same,if i drag into another monitor its fine,tried all of the above )

[Granada]

This is when i test play,look at the hud

[monkeyfrogstudio]

Have you tried turning scaling back to 100% to see if that affects things? Currently you have it set to 150%.

[SolarPortal]

Excellent! Nice fix @monkeyfrogstudio

Now we know that we will have to look into scaling with windows and skyline to make sure this sort of thing doesnt happen lol

[monkeyfrogstudio]

You are both welcome.

Yes, DPI Scaling can cause issues and a lot of software has to be aware of it else UI (and other visual issues) can become a problem. I wouldn't have known about this if I hadn't run into this with other software before. But more and more people are using multiple monitors with one or more being 4k. So ...

[SolarPortal]

agreed. We use multi monitor setup, but our screens are only 1080p.

well, mine are 1080p and a 1680x1050. So i am on the other side of the spectrum lol

The main editor UI is already DPI aware and already adapts, but the renderer viewport and controls are not aware yet.
