Distorted resolution

LOTRO is working perfectly, except for a small issue with the resolution.

IT LOOKS like that the viewing area has been stretched slightly to fill the full display area, and slightly distorts everything. This is most notable on text. I can only imagine that the game is launching in a window, which is the correct size, and IS is taking the contents of that window (which is slightly smaller) and stretching it to the full size.

This occurs whether I've set the game to fullscreen or windowed.

Any ideas about how to resolve this?

Re: Distorted resolution

Full screen and window mode, the difference in the size and aspect ratio are you talking about?

If so, I too have the same problem.
I is 6boxing. PC and the two, the control PC is a 1box. (Control PC = PC1)

PC1's screen resolution is 1600x900,
PC2 is the screen resolution of 1920x1200.
And, LOTRO Client is all set to 1600x900.

PC1 should have a problem with the aspect ratio.

Of course, ISBoxer the Windows Layouts -> Remove border around main window has a check.
Desired rendering size fitted with a 1600x900.

If the client is set to full screen mode on the aspect ratio problem, but in windowed mode does not match the size and proportion.

Contrast, 1920x1200 resolution in the PC2, there is no window mode, no problem.

A full-screen mode and control, but some are not satisfied with the part.

Nice guy Lax, believe that one day will correct.

If you turn off Instant Swap in your Window Layout, the game will no longer be stretched to the size of the region and your text should be fully readable. However, if your regions are not the same size you will lose perfect mouse broadcasting (and Instant Swap).

Re: Distorted resolution

Solved, see viewtopic.php?f=8&t=816

P.S. The Instant Swap setting didn't seem to have any effect at all before I recreated the settings file. Perhaps another symptom of the issue I was having...
