Post Black bar on top of the screen with 16:10 resolutions?
Hi, I've been playing Panzar for a couple of days now, but there's one problem with the game that has been bugging me a bit.

When I set the game to a 16:10 resolution (like 1680x1050 wich a almost always use) there's a black bar on top of the screen. Basicly the screen is pushed down. I can move it up by configuring my monitor settings, but that will of course change it for everything that I do on my PC.

I've tried everything from changing it to windowed mode and back to fullscreen, turning on vsync and lowering the graphics quality.

Please help me! :?

Edit: Oh, and I know that if you can't use an ability, the icon will go down. :roll:

I'm honestly not sure what the root cause of this is, but it happened to me at first.
The only thing I can think of that I changed, was moving my graphics settings from Maximum Performance, to Back to the 90s.

If that doesn't work, cycle through the resolutions and see if there is a more appropriate choice.

Give that a shot, and report back. I'll try to stay in touch.

Changing it to back to the 90's doesn't change anything. I have been playing at 1440x900 where this problem doesn't exist, but this game looks beautiful and I want it to look as sharp as possible, but if there's no way to fix this I'll just play on 1440x900. I do hope that there's a way to fix it though.

Greeting den1137,

First, what comes to my mind, is the incompatible aspect ratio (16:10) thus causing a black bar to appear at the top of the screen. One of the possible solutions you may try is to change aspect ratio of your monitor to 16:9 and setting the recommended resolution for your monitor.

Well, I have a 16:10 monitor. I almost always play games at 1680x1050 and never have this problem. Even if I set a game to a 4:3 or a 16:9 resolution, the NVIDIA-controlpanel will still stretch it to fullscreen, so it should always be full screen. But the problem is the scaling is right, but the position isn't. I really have no idea why this is the only game where this happens.
