Bg2:ee android fullscreen

AralyonAralyon Member Posts: 11
Hi, When I try to open baldurs gate 2 in fullscreen mode on Huawei mate 10 pro, it gets deformed and only about 1/3 of screen is visible while controls work the same. It works in bg1. What can i do about it aside of refund? I do really love this game, but this is huge hinder.
When I do not use fullscreen mode game window occupies only about half of screen.

    @Aralyon, welcome to the forum. Would you be able to go into Options/Graphics and deselect Scaling just to see what happens? Also, if scaling is off already, make sure your font size isn't set to maximum.

    Hi Gus, thanks for answer.
    I have tried to lower font size and disable scaling, but impact was unfortunately next to none.
    Maybe it is caused by 18:9 aspect ratio of mate 10, which is still not so common? Below are screenshots with and without fullscreen mode (enabled by that blue message)

    I would be super happy to resolve this issue as it would be blocker even to try iwd and iwd2 too. I would miss that a lot :(





    Edit: it is unfortunately impossible for me to try it in game as i am unable to navigate there.

    Could you post the contents of your baldur.ini (found in '/android/data/com.beamdog.baldursgateiienhancededition/files').


    I also notice in the first picture that you have your homebar showing. Is this normal when you start or there for some other reason? If so, this might be interfering with full screen mode. I believe that there is an app to help with this.

    Gus

    Edit: Having a quick look around, I think it is called 'Immersive Mode' (not on my phone). Do you have a toggle switch to enable/disable?

    Homebar is displayed there because i took screenshot, otherwise it is not there in fullscreen (immersive) mode. If i actually disable this mode, game looks like this (note that it does not ocuppy whole screen, because there is space for that blue message and homebar - it worked perfectly in BG1) :

    As a bonus, I am unable to play cinematics in both bg1 and bg2 no matter the settings I use.

    All looks well but I would rename the file to baldur.ini.old (or similar) and restart the game, let it build a new one. Will prob not make any difference but worth a try.

    The other one is Immersion. I don't have this on my phone (I think) as it has hard keys. Any chance you could try this (CMD Full Screen from Play) application to see if it makes any difference. It would be easy to remove if it doesn't work. It looks as if it is a different way to get full screen other than the way that the Huawei is using.

    So I can confirm that it made no difference at all :(


    Anyway I have made particulary interesting discovery! When I change resolution of device to HD+ ( 1440x720) which is available in EMUI settings, it works perfectly! When I change it to FHD+ (2160x1080) it breaks again.
    So it seems that app has particular problem with this very high resolution. It might be fixable then :). Maybe there is some hardcoded cap in engine?

    After change to HD+ ( 1440x720):

    @Aralyon, you need to make sure that you post something about this to be looked at by the developers, otherwise Greater Wish never has a chance of success...

    Have alook here on how submitted a ticket (bug report). I tried to make a link to Redmine/Support pages but for some reason I am being timed out. Might be some work happening on the server. Include any of your screen shots in the description.
