i just bought starsector after watching a streamer on twitch, to find out the resolution only went to 1920x1440(i think it was) and i have a 3840x2160 and in the 1920x1080 even at fullscreen only fills about 2/3 of my screen and is very awkward to play in that size.

so if you can make more higher screen resolutions or fix the full screen not fitting my entire screen, as i have tried hitting ALT + ENTER to take it out of fullscreen to take it back to see if that could fix it but nothing happens.

Works perfectly at 3440x1440 for me (well, aside from fonts being really small).

[Madnat]

what screen resolution do you have the game set to on the launcher?

i have it set to the 1920x1080 and this is the link to a pic of what i have it on my screen(yes i know its in windowed mode, but the size is the same for when i tick fullscreen on my launcher

For the moment, you can edit the shortcut properties to force the game to use UI scaling. Windows is dumb though and you can't actually tell it how much to scale, only to use the current system setting. Windows scaling will make your resolution larger than the game setting, but at least you won't need to squint as hard.

You can force a game resolution through editing config files. Fire up your notepad++ (don't leave home without it!) and open your

Code

\Starsector\starsector-core\data\config\settings.json

file.  The magic line looks like

Code

#"resolutionOverride":"1024x768",
#"forceAspectRatio":"1.3333",

Tweak it and remove the # to turn it on.

Beware that full screen mode is very picky about your screen resolutions. Only use official screen modes. Windowed mode will work with any reasonable number.

I, too, have this issue, and tried the settings edit.  When I start the game fullscreen it crashes to the same error:
"LWJGL Error : failed to set display mode (-2)"

Hi! So it sounds like the game is showing in a corner of your screen while in fullscreen at less than the fullscreen resolution? If so, take a look here for a solution:

This will happen if you set a resolution override to a resolution your display - or graphics drivers - do not support in fullscreen mode.


If you edit data/config/settings.json and change:
"4kThreshold":3600,

to, say,
"4kThreshold":10000,

The game will show you more resolutions. However, at high resolutions, text will be very small and difficult to read and running at half the native resolution in fullscreen mode is recommended instead.

The next release will have support for UI scaling and 4k resolutions.

I was gonna say I ran 4k and fonts don’t look so small, then I realized that I was playing on my TV

Edit: actually could you make it so the UI scaling can be turned off? Cuz they do look the right size for me now...
