Hi,

I'm a newbie with playonlinux, now using Ubuntu 13.10 (with Cinnamon).

I installed Wine then playonlinux.
To make a trial, I installed "Elder Scrolls II Daggerfall" (an old and mythic game !).

When I launch it, the gamescreen is just partially appearing. In fact I an just see the left half-part of the gamescreen. The rest of my computer screen is black. Something has to be configurated. I tried all the menus, looking for a solution... Nothing...

Could anyone help me ? Thank you in advance (and sorry for my english level... :(  )

Bye

Hi,

Hi,

Thank you so much for your kind response. Indeed, exiting the fullscreen mode with Alt+Enter is a better solution. Now I can play...

But it looks like a little windows. Toggling in fullscreen re-do the same problem...

Sill need one step further...

I used the hq2x scaler that gives the best visual results in my opinion.
But I recently noticed that it's not compatible with hardware scaling (some DOSBox 0.74 limitation I assume).
Open ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/ElderScrolls_Daggerfall/playonlinux_dos.cfg and replace render_scaler=hq2x with another DOSBox scaler (http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Scaler), say render_scaler=normal2x
That should allow DOSBox to scaler the display to larger resolutions.
You may also have to add sdl_output=openglnb if it looks too blurry for you.
