However, in doing so, I accidentally hit a resolution my monitor cannot support. Now, all i get is a black screen each and every time I log in I am trying not to reinstall, but in the future could you place a graphics setting in the launcher so this wont happen to other fans. We would greatly appreciate it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 _Walter_ Beta Testers 5 posts 46 battles Report post #5 Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) PC crashed during Windows 10 upgrade. After a clean install and re-install of World of Warships, I'm experiencing a similar problem. My monitor is 1920 x 1080, but best I can get out of WoWS is 1600 x 900 in full screen mode. Does WoWS support 1920 x 1080? (I don't remember from previous install.) I can get native resolution running Windowed mode. Maybe that's what I was doing BC (before crash)? If so, how does one run border less windowed mode? EDIT: May not be kosher, but I edited preferences.xml to full screen 1920 x 1080, and it appears to be keeping that setting.

Yes, it does support 1920x1080. If it's not showing, perhaps there's a driver update you need for your video card since moving to Windows 10? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
