After program exits, The desktop resolution is set to 640x480 instead of 1080p.

I did not see another issue related to this, so I think I might be the only one (given it is pretty big). The problem is on both JK and MotS. The video here speaks for itself:
https://youtu.be/feBl51qI6C0

Description:
"
Jedi Knight isn't flashy and weird like it is in the video, that is just obs doing its thing. That is not the problem.
The problem is that the display does not resume original size.
"
I used the cd-rom setup. The files I got are from GOG, but since my installation didn't come with JKStart.exe, I went with the other setup. I got the JK.exe straight from my original cd-rom and the program runs fine otherwise.

If I am the only one, it isn't a big deal. I could create a batch file to reset my screen size fairly easily. The only reason it is a hassle is because I make my own mods and levels, and they require debugging by opening and closing the program often, leaving me to reset my resolution everytime.

Hm, I don't have this problem. I have my game resolution set to 1440x1080, but it corrects back to 1920x1080 when exiting.

Out of curiosity, what is the resolution set to in jkgm.json?

[debrebeuf]

Mine is set to 640x480 (for nostalgia).
But it does the same thing on all resolutions.

HOWEVER I made a batch file to fix this for now.

Hi @debrebeuf

Thanks for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce it. Could you please provide more information?

• What version of Windows are you running?
• What is your graphics adapter and driver version?
• Do you have any compatibility options set for JK.exe?

Thanks

[debrebeuf]

I am trying to run the game on my laptop.
I am running Windows 10 Home, Version 1803, OS build 17134.858 on the laptop.
The laptop uses integrated graphics, more specifically, Intel(R) HD Graphics 620.
Using DxDiagnostics, I retrieved that my driver version is 21.20.16.4599.
(I went to device manager to check if any driver updates were available, but none were)
There are no compatibility options set for JK.

Again, I might have a freak accident situation, and that's fine. Your program is cool enough as is in my opinion.

[mattolenik]

I'm getting this, too. My native res is 4K, I'm running in 1080p, and desktop resolution isn't restored after exiting. I'm also using the GOG version, but with an original JK.exe that was patched with the 2008 unofficial patch. I'd just run at 4K except I hit #9.

• Radeon 5700XT, driver version 19.12.2
• Windows 10.0.19536.1000 (Insider "fast" track)

[debrebeuf]

If this means anything, I copied my exact files from my laptop that had this problem to my desktop and the problem remained. Because of this, my hunch is that maybe this has something to do with certain jk files being used and not graphics settings of Windows.

[jdmclark]

That’s a very interesting and helpful observation. Thanks! Do you know if you’re using any other DLL fixes (ddraw.dll), unofficial patches, or anything else like that?

For what it's worth, I just tried again with the original JK.exe off an original disc. I had been using a prepatched version found online because my original discs were scratched up. After wetsanding to 8000 grit and finishing with plastic polish, I got them readable enough to get JK.exe off of disc 1. Sadly, no change in behavior.

[jdmclark]

Thanks @mattolenik

If possible, could you please list the DLL files in your JK directory?

The only other option I can think of would be a bad SDB. The Steam version is known to install one that makes bad changes to all JK exes (including from the CD). Checking this isn't as easy though: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/planning/searching-for-fixed-applications-in-compatibility-administrator

Thanks.

Could you check one more thing, please? Does the same problem happen if you rename JK.EXE to something random - like foobar.exe? Making sure to also update jkgm.json with the new executable name.

[mattolenik]

No luck, same thing :/ I also tried with and without the high DPI override set to Application. Without it, the whole thing was enormous but I was still able to get into the game. Same frame rate.

Edit: wait, I realize I was confusing these two issues. Let me try things again and get back to you.

[mattolenik]

I ran through the same process but this time checking for the resolution change rather than framerate like in #9. With the stripped down install and JK.exe renamed, the problem persists, resolution is still stuck after exiting.

[GeneralTantor]

I looked at the video its because you have this setting as true make it false and see what happens.
"correct_menu_aspect_ratio": false,
