Tutorial: Jedi Academy in 1920*1080 without openJK!

Ok so.. I've had some very hard time trying to get my Jedi Academy to fit my whole screen, so I decided to make a tutorial for others who would have this problem..

Let me explain myself... My screen resolution is 1920*1080.. My JKA resolution by default is 800*600, so I had two large black stripes on both sides of my screen that kept annoying me. I tried to manually change the game resolution, But then, it looks like this, like the image is WAY too zommed, only a quarter shows up in the screen, so I can only see the top left corner of the game.

So, after many many minutes of searching on the Internet, I found a fix to it! Many forums will only tell you to type those commands:
Code: Select all
seta r_customwidth "1920"
seta r_customheight "1080"

seta r_mode "-1"
But it's not gonna work if you have high DPI settings turned on at the operating system level. so here's what you have to do next!
1. Go into the game folder and right-click jasp.exe or jamp.exe

2. Go to Properties->Compatibility

3. Turn on "Disable display scaling"

4. Click OK
I really hope this "tutorial" is going to help someone just as much as it helped me! I finally can enjoy JKA in my full screen :)

Note: cg_fov should be at least at 95 to fit 16:9 aspect ratio.

I do this except I play in windowed mode so minimizing is easy. Have to decrease the game res down by about 10-20 on each though.

Thanks for the add, John! I use jaminimizer.exe to minimize my game, but it's always nice to know :)
