Any way to change emulated resolution in GZ doom?

Recommended Posts

Im playing a GZ-doom based game and the hud isnt laying out correctly, its supposed to look like the first image, but instead it looks like the second

Before you say to screw around with scaling settings, I did all that and literally only one did anything and it made it look like the third image.

I noticed that the game was emulating a resolution much higher than my PC actually has. I know this is by design, but is there a way I can change that? I think that's what is going wrong.

If it's just about the UI scaling, I think the "HUD Scaling" options should help.

Any chance you have a high DPI display? Regardless, you should be able to set the resolution the game runs at in the video mode options.

I tried that, it just scaled the gameplay but the HUD stayed the same

 

The only setting that did anything was HUD scaling and even then it just moved it downwards, going off the games trailer there's an entire lower half of the screen that is borked.

UPDATE: I spoke to the dev of the game and they said it had something to do with an old Doom.ini file existing on my machine.

Speaking of high DPI, I've had some issues with it in the past, namely the game stretching "beyond" the screen. If that's what's happening, and assuming you're using Windows, you can try this with gzdoom.exe:

Quote

In Explorer or on the Start menu, right-click the application name, select Properties, select the Compatibility tab, and then select [...] Override high DPI scaling behavior, scaling performed by: Application.

Quoted from here. Try the different options available if needed, not just "Application".

 

If you're using a launcher to open GZDoom you can additionally try doing this with the launcher itself.

No dice, Im trying to figure out where my doom.ini file is so I can delete it. I think that has something to do with it. (And the dev of the game does too)

The game you downloaded contains a gzdoom_portable.ini file in the zip, so that's the only config file it should read. If that's not present, GZDoom will read from your user folder (something like C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\My Games\GZDoom\gzdoom.ini).
