Hello,
I'm new to War2.ru and I couldn't find an answer in a previous post so hopefully I can find some help. When I open the game, instead of it being full screen it only opens in the top left quarter of my screen. It's in full screen mode as the other 3/4 of my screen is blacked out, but I can't make the entire game full screen.
Thanks

Hi here!
1. is it a notebook? Some kind of bios option could be changed as for me. That worked so for my old notebook, except it opened in the center of screen, not left top corner.
2. can you make a photo how it works?

Tell us what kind of computer you're using and maybe iL or Lance or someone else might be able to help you out in how to fix it.

Thanks for the responses!
My computer uses Windows 8.1 pro and is a custom built desktop. It is attached to a 42" screen so I imagine that has something to do with it. I've attached a SS of what it looks like to me. Let me know if y'all have any ideas.
Thanks

Oh, Windows 8.1 is the main thing in your question.
There's no many working solutions with win8 generally...
Is war2 working for you at least anyway?
There are some plans with war2 adaptation to win8, but these plans are still plans...
Any useful solutions for war2 under win-8 would be appreciated

Thanks for the help. It does work but just that issue. I'll just play on my laptop since it's windows 7.

Not exactly the same thing, but I used to have a problem with w2 being centered on the screen with black bars on either side, rather than stretched to fit fullscreen. This is the solution that worked for me, maybe it'll help you too! (It's for Win7 though, no idea if it also applies to Win8)

I had a similar problem when i was trying to run war2 through a VPS...but was fixed when i removed the full screen option. Could this be a compatibility issue? idk try running war2 under windows 98 conditions.

Try:
Right click desktop > Graphics properties > Scaling > Scale full screen
???
