M1Pro Mac - EUIV

[ruhrbaron]

So I picked up the last remaining dlc during the last sale and wanted to play euiv after years again and to my surprise it turns out that I cant get the game to run with a normal resolution. The game always reverts to 1512x982 or 3024 x 1964 instead of resolution that doesnt interfere with the notch. it'd be great if that got fixed, stellaris, hoi4, ck2 and ck3 dont struggle with it either, so why does EU4

Does it help if you switch to a different display mode in the launcher?

I can launch stellaris in 3024 x 1890 fullscreen or windowed, both works. Ok, if I go to fullscreen, I can then select this resolution but unfortunately not 1512x 890 (which ist apple's native text resolution). Text is super grainy in 3024x1890 with 1.5x guy scaling in the way it is not for ck3, vicky3, hoi4 or stellaris, interestingly enough.

But thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by "super grainy", but Eu4 doesn't have proper UI scaling and the text is often described as blurry, especially when using fractional scales. Do I understand you correctly that the notch isn't a problem on fullscreen with 3024 x 1890? Then you could try the mod Proper 2K UI Enhanced (with an UI scale of 1.0) which scales the whole UI by about 1.3 and includes many other UI improvements including fonts which are easier to read.
Or you could try to get a fullscreen resolution of 1512x 890 in some way. Did you check both the launcher and the ingame video settings to see if one of them might have it? If not, you could also try to set it manually in pdx_settings.txt and settings.txt. IIRC the launcher automatically adjusts the resolution setting if you open the game settings tab while it is set to a resolution which isn't in the list, but I think you can avoid this by not going into the game settings in the launcher

correct, 3024x 1890 is the full display resolution minus the menu bar. in the scaled/ retina mode its a quarter of that for UI purposes so 1512 x 890. pdx games look better in the full actually native resolution but then I have to massively crank up the gui scaling, but that is to be expected. thanks to these settings now im mostly happy fwiw.

ok, but borderless windowed doesnt really work in any meaningful sense. completely pointless graphical option - locked to 1512 x982

borderless fullscreen does not change the resolution. It uses whatever you set in your OS and just displays a fullscreen window. If you want to use a different resolution in borderless fullscreen, you have to change it in your OS in some way.
