Graphics Squashed

Haven't played for a few days, but today when I started the game the screen appears squashed horizontally, I am unable to select the settings icon to check the settings. I have verified the files in steam and these are OK . See attached picture.

 

Weird.

To get to the 'settings' button, try using your arrow keys instead of the mouse, then hit return. That works for me when my screen resolution is whacked.

 

Hi Bill sorry that won't work, all I can do is move through the route selections, and the only way to get out of the game is to press ALT, CTRL and Delete and end task in Task Manager

Check your graphics card's control panel

 

Interesting, you somehow got early acces to the next iteration of TSW2's interface! Lucky guy...

 

That's okay, all other games are fine including TS 2022, it's like the settings have gone wrong

 

Have you checked your "GameUserSettings.ini"? Remove lines like

LastRecommendedScreenWidth=-1.000000
LastRecommendedScreenHeight=-1.000000

 

I had this once when I changed the aspect ratio in the setting. The only way I found to fix it is slightly counter-intuitive, you do have to navigate to the settings cogs setting with your mouse but you will need to put your mouse near the top of your screen until you see the yellow highlight on the cog. You then have to go through the same process when changing the aspect ratio back.

Maybe plugging in a controller will be easier.

 

easier fix is just go to Documents\my games\TrainSimWorld2\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
and delete the file GameUserSettings.ini

 

Managed it it was a question of keep clicking the mouse in different areas of the screen it happened that the driver figure was the right part to click on for the setting button. Thanks all

 

To be honest I have no idea where the ini file is all I have are .pak files, a few.dll files and 1 or 2 other types but no .ini files

 

if on windows it is in the documents directory
its is a windows directory in the users folder
can also be reached through the start menu

 

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld2\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Replace YOUR_USERNAME by your windows user name.

As always, make a full backup of your C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld2 folder before you touch anything.

 

This can happen when you use resolution multipliers like the ones that NVidia support. Some unreal games seem to understand them and some do not. They don't turn themselves on, so if you've recently tried something like that then try turning it off again.
