I have desktop size 1980 and Eve at 2440. Each time I minimize Eve for on the desktop, open a browser, etc, when re-entering Eve, the resolution has resized to 1980 and I have to manually resize to 2440 every time… I don’t know if this is a bug or it is intended, but it’s an annoying behaviour at least… Has anyone else experienced this? I’m on Win 10. No other game behave in this manner… ---

Have you made sure that the game runs in “full screen” and not “full-screen windowed”? If it’s in “full-screen windowed” then the resolution will revert to your desktop resolution if you start a browser or a multimedia program. If it’s in “full screen” ( not “windowed” ) then the game shouldn’t revert to your desktop resolution. I may be totally wrong about that but that’s what I’ve observed for as long as I’ve had a PC and been playing games on it. ---

It’s full screen not windowed. ---

Okay… Try running from eve/bin/eve.exe instead of the launcher, as Administrator. Set scale and logoff, relog and see if that works. Otherwise, someone more knowledgeable will have to help. I’m not a computer wiz, I just know enough to get my PC out of trouble until I have to call the neighbor over, lol. ---

Good luck. Also, you could always contact CCP about it. They’ll have much better suggestions than the ones I gave you. Enjoy your game. o7 ---
