Interface problem

Hi,

Im new to ISboxer and am trying to run 3 accounts at the same time.
Everything seems to be working perfectly except when isboxer splits my screen in 4 parts the interface of eve stays the same size...
As a result everything is covered in chat windows and my overview is huge.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
I already set UI scaling to 90% but the problem persists.

Thanks!

Re: Interface problem

Sounds like display scaling is enabled/ not set to 100% (or the DPI settings are changed).

This post has a picture of where to find the setting in Windows 10. Google will show you for other versions of Windows (usually Control Panel -> All Categories -> Display).
With Windows 10, it might say 100% but not actually be working at it, so setting to something else, and then back again can reset it.

It could also be some EVE thing I've not heard of before too.

Thanks for the tip, tried your fix but unfortunately no success.

here you go: http://pastebin.com/q9tv6gfG

after further investigation i also have noticed that i only have the problem when i split the screen in 4 equal tiles (i use 3 clients)

When i use one large tile at the top with two smaller tiles at the bottom i dont have the issue.

Re: Interface problem

Maybe the game does not like the resolution it is being forced into when you use the 3 equal tiles. 960x520 is pretty weird, and most games will want a minimum of 800x600 these days, although EVE minimum is 1024x768, and the game will resize itself to that internally despite what actual resolution you are forcing upon it (although you can work around that if you set the game to FullScreen apparently).

Tried setting settings to full screen, but same problem stays...
Guess Eve online with 4 clients is not possible with ISboxer on one screen :cry:

Re: Interface problem

You can use a dxnothing and videoFX for that.
http://www.isboxer.com/wiki/DxNothing
http://www.isboxer.com/wiki/Video_FX

You will end up with a stacked screen setup (you don't have to be full screen for that, especially if you need to save on vram, but it is easy to do in the Wizard), and then put a DXNothing as a full sized Window, and put 4 videofx viewers on it at the size you want with the stacked games as the source.
