Open Maps window size exceeds offscreen

[Strydhaizer]

Does anyone else experience this issue whenever you open maps (with WE 1.31.1) the Open Maps window will look like this? Is there a way to adjust the default size of this window?

It's always like that, even if your resize the window, everytime you open another map the Open Map window will return back to its default size. Looks like this window doesn't respect my resolution for some reason.

• I already tried changing Windows Compatibility mode, no luck
• Tried disabling Full Screen Optimizations, no luck either.
• It actually took me days before I realized there are actually buttons below.

I'm more annoyed that the terrain/unit/doodad pallete on the right always starts like that regardless in what position you put it when you save your map or how far down you stretch it.

The thing you mentioned doesn't happen to me. I don't know whether it's a resolution thing or not.
So, you put the video options to match those of the game?

Yes, it's set to true by default for me. I don't think those options have something to do with the windows sizes though.

Do you have a "low" resolution monitor or maybe too high? I have no idea what it could be.

Can you stretch the window?

Well I'm currently using my mid-end laptop when making maps, it has 1366x768 resolution, have an Intel Integrated Graphics 520 and NVIDIA 940M graphics card.

I honestly feel like the Open Maps window only respects 2K monitors for some reason, I wish they atleast considered lower screen resolutions too.

Try other resolutions in both the game+editor and the monitor. See what happens.

Nope, no luck, it's still happening, I believe it's fixed like that. Hopefully there's a registry or config file fix for this.

Have you tried both the x86 and x64_x86 editor .exes?

These are my preferences:

Also, you can stretch that window how you like but I guess you have to do it every time like with the palette.

I already tried both, I used to edit maps in 64 bit version but it the editor keeps crashing so I had to switch to 32 bit version, the maps window size is still the same. I tried plugging my laptop to my TV and it works fine. I think the maps window size doesn't really respect HD screens.

Yes, that's exactly what I pointed out at the very top, that's the problem. I don't want to resize it everytime I open maps just to close the window or go back one folder (because these buttons are off-screen).
