    Help Requested! Win 10 stretching 4/3 resolutions on 16/9 monitor in fullscreen mode

    Hello Eno and team Redlynx!

    I have a rather low-end laptop ( OSWin 8.1) to run the game. My native screen resolution (1366x768) wont give me enough FPS on Fusion.
    For 2 years, the solution has been 1024x768 full screen mode. I would get stable 60 fps and good visual comfort, best of both worlds.
    Only counterpart was having a 4/3 image with black space on left/right sides but I got so used to it, it feels more natural to me than the normal way

    That was until i took the free upgrade to Windows 10 last week...

    Now. when i launch the game, 1024x768 full screen mode is automatically stretched to fit the entire 16/9 screen.
    Of course, it looks bad, pixelly and its absolutely unplayable.

    If I try 1024x768 windowed mode, it takes too many ressources and FPS has drastic drop.
    If I try 1366x768 full mode, same thing : drastic FPS drop coupled with lag input.
    So, as trivial as it seems at first, its enough to make the game impossible to run for me anymore.

    I have no idea why it was going the right way with Win 8.1 for 2 years and not anymore with Win 10.
    The in-game video settings menu of the game having no option to tweak it, there is not much I can do here.

    So, after lamenting about it for a couple weeks, I have to ask you guys for some help and if you have any idea/workaround to get back to the original deal.
    I understand I might be the only one in the community afected by this, but I just miss Track Central and the game pretty bad

    Thanks !

    Hi Dam,

    Go into your video settings and look for scaling options. It will be different depending on if you have an NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel video device.

    For Nvidia it will be in the nvidia control panel > advanced > adjust desktop size and position (select scaling mode: aspect ratio)

    For AMD see here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-arti...PUScaling.aspx

    For Intel see here: https://communities.intel.com/message/310103#310103 (so just update your intel drivers if you're using an intel gpu, and go to those display scaling options).
