    The highest resolution available on my laptop is 1366x768. It has a 4k screen so 1920x1080 should be available. The GPU is a GeForce GTX 960M with the latest drivers and I am running Windows 10. A few other resolutions are also offered, but they are all lower.

    Let me know if you need more information. Thanks.

    Are you still having this problem? is it like that after you run windowed mode? And have you tried changing it through the config.xml file and see if it works? It should be the lines "screenY" and "screenX"

    I think this might go away with an upgrade to SDL 2.0.5, which is on my TODO list. You can also try running the game with:

    -nomaxmode

    as a command line parameter to see if it fixes it (it slightly changes which information we ignore from the display driver.)

    Thanks, launching the game with -nomaxmode made many more screen resolutions available. I'm now able to play in 1080, which looks much better.

    4K still doesn't work properly however: The game doesn't seem to scale past 1080 and only displays in the top left 1/4th of the screen while the rest remains black. Not that it matters much for me since my GPU is not powerful enough for 4K and it's only a 15 inches screen anyway, but it might be nice to fix it in order to future proof the game and for people with larger 4K screens.

    Also, it would be nice to add a way to enable v-sync. Screen tearing is really annoying : /

    Thanks for your help!

    To confirm: the entire game doesn't scale? Or just the title screen?

    If you start with -nomaxmode and select 3840x2160 the game will start a 1920x1080 window for me. This is also the same in full screen mode, so it only occupies 1/4 of the screen.

    oops sorry, only the title/loading screen is in 1920x1080 resolution

    But the font scaling doesn't adhere windows settings as it seems
