Game does not retain graphics setting (screen size problem)

Step 1: Check In-Game Resolution Settings

• Launch Pax Dei: Start the game and navigate to the main menu.
• Access Settings: Go to the ‘Options’ or ‘Settings’ menu.
• Select Video/Graphics Settings: Look for a section that deals with video or graphics settings.
• Adjust Resolution: Ensure that the resolution matches your monitor’s native resolution (e.g., 1920x1080 for Full HD). If it is set incorrectly, change it to match your display.

Step 2: Adjust Display Mode

• Display Mode Options: Within the same video/graphics settings, check if there are options for display mode (Windowed, Fullscreen, Borderless).
• Select Fullscreen: If you are currently in Windowed mode, try switching to Fullscreen mode as this can often resolve sizing issues.

Step 3: Update Graphics Drivers

• Check for Updates: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up-to-date. You can do this by visiting the website of your GPU manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel).
• Install Latest Drivers: Download and install any available updates for your graphics card.

Step 4: Modify Configuration Files

• Locate Configuration Files: Sometimes games store configuration files in specific directories on your computer (e.g., Documents folder or within the game’s installation directory).
• Edit Config File: Open the configuration file (often named something like settings.ini or config.cfg) using a text editor.
• Set Resolution Manually: Look for lines that specify resolution settings and manually set them to match your monitor’s native resolution.

Step 5: Verify Game Files

• Steam Library Verification:
  - Open Steam and go to your Library.
  - Right-click on Pax Dei and select ‘Properties’.
  - Navigate to the ‘Local Files’ tab and click on ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’. This will ensure that all game files are correct and not corrupted.

Step 6: Adjust Windows Display Settings

• Right-click on Desktop: Select ‘Display settings’.
• Scale and Layout: Check if scaling is set correctly (100% is usually recommended). Incorrect scaling can affect how games render on your screen.
• Resolution Setting: Ensure that the display resolution matches what you have set in Pax Dei.
