This is the size of my game window currently. The size, is SUPPOSED to be 1280x960. I have three games; my main game (which I don't use) and my two PermaGames. All three games' properties have the correct starting information, i.e. they all say -w -r1280x960 -noparam which indicates I want the game to open up in windowed mode, at the size of 1280x960. BUT, after opening my PermaGame 2, it opened up to what you see in the picture. 800x600, and after going into a neighbourhood to change it, the only option available was 800x600. I tested my PermaGame 1, and it's the same thing.
I have not changed a single thing since playing yesterday. I played my game for a couple of hours, and it was perfectly fine. I didn't do anything differently, I didn't touch anything regarding the graphics, so I don't know what would make it do this. I googled and found that it can happen to people with graphic cards that can't handle sims. Mine, is more than capable (I have an AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series) and as soon as I got it, edited my graphicsrules to include the card, which was late last year. I have played my game numerous times since then without problems (apart from crashing now and again; but that's due to heavy lots). Rebooting didn't help, and I'm pretty sure my graphics drivers were updated less than a month ago.
So without changing anything, my game has decided to change sizes. Does anyone know what the hell is going on?
