EverQuest Windows Layout - Region 1 resolution expanding
I'm brand new to the ISBoxer software and so I'm still trying to wrap my mind around a few of the basic tutorials I've found here on this website as well as YouTube.
It's a bit unfortunate that I haven't gotten very far in trying out so many features because I'm having a very difficult time getting my intended Windows Layout to function properly with EverQuest.
I have a dual monitor setup and up to three character accounts. Using the Windows Layout Wizard, I selected the option for "Multi-monitor on \\.\DISPLAY1 and \\.\DISPLAY2 (Swapping,Maintain Aspect,Avoid Taskbar)" from the drop down list and just ran with it as is.
It seemed promising at first because my first character launched full-screen on my main monitor (Region 1) as expected. Similarly, I could see my next character's account launch in a smaller window on my second monitor in the area designated for Region 2.
It's at this point where things go south. Once I attempt to swap to my second character by clicking on Region 2, they're correctly moved into Region 1 except Region 1's screen resolution inexplicably balloons. To be clear, the width and height of the Region 1 window get bigger, and everything inside the window scales accordingly with its revised size. This behavior is unexpected and certainly not intended. Attempting to swap back to my first character will not resize Region 1 back to what it was either. Rather, I've found that once I swap to any character the first time, Region 1 gets bigger and stays bigger.
One thing that's worth noting is whenever I've relaunched the game through the ISBoxer software, I receive these warning messages for each of my character's INI files, and ISBoxer attempts to correct it. Needless to say, I click Yes here, but the problem immediately returns after I attempt to swap to another region:
I've tried different things between rerunning the Windows Layout Wizard and selecting from different profiles, to tinkering with the region and slot settings. I'm afraid I haven't gotten any closer to resolving my issue. Since I'm just about at my wit's end and I've been at this all day, I'd like to ask if anyone has some ideas I could try?
Thank you for listening and I appreciate anyone's response.
