Links Corner Forum

Hello,

I have tried that, but same effect. I also have tried the dgVoodooCpl.exe with the D3D9.dll file, but no effect. When starting Links, my GeForce 2080 is named as accelerator.

Interesting problem.

What is your Windows screen resolution set to?

Right click on desktop and select Display Settings.

This is mine.

Something mentioned numerous times by old Links Corner forum member Armand both on the old forum and a different site was disabling the high DPI setting for the Links executable file.

In File Explorer, right-click on the Links executable file, select the compatibility tab, left-click 'Change high DPI settings',


next, check the box for 'Override high DPI scaling behavior', and make sure the 'Scaling performed by:' drop down below that is set to Application.

If your GeForce 2080 is named as Accelerator while trying the program you mentioned, that would suggest you might not have set it up properly for it to work, you could review the instructions and try again - if its not what Andy is pointing to.

Also, check if you perhaps have any compatibility settings activated that may be interfering? (Right click > Properties for LinksMMIII and LinksLauncher) Or alternatively, maybe try some of the compatibility settings? Ah I see gator beat me to it.

Hello,

what a wonderful community here, so much help. Thanx a lot.

I have tried all your posted configurations. For one short time I had Links running in Full Screen 1920x1080, when I set Windows scaling from 200 back to 150. But when I restarted, it did not work again. Setting the Windows Display to 1920x1080 didn´t help either.

When changing the properties of Launcher and/or LinksMMIII -> DPI settings, then Links does never start. I have tried much now, maybe it won´t work on my PC.

Thanks again for your help.

Have you tried updating your drivers for display adapter? I saw a thread about windows scaling automatically resetting, which may or may not be the same issue you're having, but that was what was recommended (and it may be a good thing to test either way)

Hello,

the latest drivers for my display adapter are installed.

The only way Links works on my PC is in windowed mode, 1680x1050, but thats not good enough to play the game

It isnt? Thats how I play the game!

I understand though, on a bigger monitor than mine Im sure it may be harder to tolerate. Hopefully someone else has any ideas, I feel like the fact you had it working a while should give some clues, but all I can think of is checking if your windows scaling automatically reset. Or maybe remove / undo / uninstall all the fixes you've tried and completely reinstall Links, to make sure none of the fixes are interfering with eachother. The one I would try first again, if it was me, would be the DPI one.

Thanks for response, Adelaide.

I won´t give up so fast, but at the moment I don´t know what to try next. Whenever I want to start Links in Full Screen mode, this message appears:
Have a nice Sunday!

What monitor are you using? I use a Samsung 23" Monitor/HDTV with 1680 x 1050, and I've displayed Links on my 70" 4k Sony at 1920 x 1080, but the TV upconverts. You're not using your iPhone, are you?
