If you are one of those players who like micromanaging things in a game and think of themselves as mastermind strategists, then Stellaris is a game that you should definitely try. It is essentially a strategy game that is set in space. So you can imagine the overall scale of it. Well, recently, there have been reports from players about a bug in the game where the in-game resolution is not set correctly, due to which they are unable to access certain UI elements. Players encountering this bug are experiencing a situation where the game is not running at the resolution it is supposed to run at. This has led to the UI being scaled down to the point where it is illegible, and in the worst cases, the mouse pointer is not able to accurately point and navigate through the UI. In this article, we will see if there is any fix yet for this bug.
A lot of players are struggling with the issue, to the point that they have taken to online forums to discuss it. The game’s official discussion forum on Steam is filled with players reporting the same. So, what is there for you to take away from all the interaction between players facing the issue? We have gathered all the details that you need to know if you are looking for a fix to this bug.
Stellaris Incorrect Resolution Bug: Is there any fix yet
Coming straight to the point, as of writing this article, there is no official fix. The devs too have not shared their opinion on the matter. For now, all that the players are left with are the potential workarounds shared by other players facing the same issue. While there might not be one ultimate fix for everyone to implement, there are these potential workarounds on the table for you to try. They have been reported to work for many players, so it is definitely worth a try.
UI Scaling
This is an in-game option that you can use to fix the UI scaling issue. You can find this option in the game’s option menu. More specifically, in the Settings section. Take a look at the bottom of the Settings section and you should see a line that reads, “UI scaling (experimental)”. If the value of this scaling is too low, increase it to at least 1x.
Alt+tab
The good old shortcut key allows you to switch between windowed and fullscreen modes on the fly. Try pressing the Alt+tab keys after you launch the game and see if it solves the issue for you. The switching between windowed and fullscreen display modes may trigger the game to run at the correct resolution.
Tweak a game file
The next workaround that has seemed to work for a huge number of players involves tweaking some values in the game’s file at a certain path. If all of that sounds like a daunting task, don’t worry; we have got you covered. First, start by heading to the path given below,
C/Users/yourusernamefolder/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/Settings.txt file
It is this Settings.txt file that you will be tweaking. Right-click on the settings.txt file and select the Open with Notepad option. Now, find and add the following values for both x and y in the .txt file.
- graphics={
size={
x=1920
y=1080
} - min_gui={
x=1280
y=720
}
While there are other methods that you can try like verifying the game files, etc., we recommend that you try out the methods listed above, as they have been widely successful for other players facing the same issue.
