This is currently a known issue on 5K ultrawide monitors. We haven't been able to investigate the issue because no CnCNet client developers currently have a 5K monitor.

For a fix you have two options:

1) Set your desktop resolution lower. Launch DTA. Set a suitable Client Resolution in the client's Options menu, and save the settings. Now you can revert your desktop resolution back to 5K.

2) This one does not force you to change your desktop resolution, but requires a bit more technical skills otherwise.

Open Settings.ini inside DTA's directory. Look for the [Video] section.

Under the [Video] section, change the values of the ClientResolutionX and ClientResolutionY keys to the following keys:

Code:

ClientResolutionX=1280
ClientResolutionY=720


In case Settings.ini does not exist, then create such a text file (change the .txt file extension to .ini), with the following contents:

Code:

[Video]
ClientResolutionX=1280
ClientResolutionY=720


Save the file. Now DTA should launch normally.

thnx for the quick reply,

The first one I figured out myself as well (and works)

The 2nd solution I'll try tomorrow.

Already got my first co-op campaign level finished with my 10 year old son.

A verry cool way to revisit a personal favourite game where I grew up with and passing on the legacy and love for a classic game to my children.

Thnx verry much to make this possible, keep up the good work.
