Game zoomed in?

Post by demonslayer5545 »

Hello. I am playing on my 47" tv. When I start sro I change the res to 1920x1080 and launch.The entire screen is zoomed in... Imagine the screen cut in 4 parts like a + sign, I can only see the top left corner. I can barely see the first few letters in the server select and when I pick a server and get on I cant see the connect button because its on the bottom right... I've tried changing the res to different ones and it still wont work.

Is it always like this ? from when ?

I know what you mean and it happened for me a few times when i open another game that changes resolution on the whole pc .

Anyway , if i am already logged in , i will simply change the resolution (any resolution that is different from your current one will do) .

If i get stuck at the loggin screen , i will press Alt + tap , then choose desktop .
Then press start --> Change account ( that button near the start button that opens the accounts screen, that blue one ) .
Then at that screen , choose the account you were already logged in and you should find that you can see ~ 75% of sro screen , log in , choose a character then change the screen resolution .
So in the first week in college i went with jeans and the pajama's shirt. Didn't notice what i was wearing till after i returned home.

I stopped using the shortcut and started using the silkroad.exe in the folder and it worked. Strange I know considering thats where the shortcut goes. I changed the game res at the start menu before it even launched the game, the patcher. Oh well. It works now suddenly. I just installed the game btw so i was on all default settings. Now I made a new char in azteca and im already getting mad. I keep getting pwnt by the slave watchers.... I wait for someone to run out and i follow them but bam, I still get nailed. I dont understand why sro just cant have a report button like other games... or a random question that pops up every hour or so of grinding...

Joymax can fix that slave watchers "glitch" really quick if they decide to do it , can't really find a point of keeping them (for whoever that summons them) as there aren't many goldbots anymore anyway , any fix can do , like keeping them at Roc mountain only and makes them unable to summon anywhere else .

It can be frustrating for new players and they can even rage quit .

Why sro can't have a report button like other games ?

Can they , yes they can .

Would they , no they wouldn't .

It is a lot of work for Gms to cover +45 servers and joymax doesn't want to pay for Gms that actually do anything "ingame" .

So many servers... I don't know which to take. I want a server with a decent amount of people... I'm on Azteca now and there are like, hardly any stalls anywhere... Anyone able to recommend a server with a good established economy and not full of retarted drama?

Ever heard of the consigment system ?

That's why there are almost no stallers .

Look at hotan / jangan / constantipole , you will find a new Npc called consigment , go to him and you can look at everything anyone stalled in the server , like the old stall network but this consigment is server wide not city wide .

Items that you put in consigment can stay there ~ 2.5 days and don't require you to be online for the items to stay there .

You can register up to 10 items per account (not character) , Registered items that cost less than 1 million won't need a fee to be paid for it to be registered in consigment .

Any +1 million item you register will cost you 1% of the total item price Before it gets sold and if you take the item out of consigment before it gets sold , you won't recieve your 1% that you paid back and another 1% after the item gets sold .

So in total 2% , 1% before selling and 1% after selling .

Azteca is considered a new server , so not that many items nor gold there yet , atleast not insane amounts of gold .
