lepinkainen: The apparently starts in some weird (VR?) mode, where the picture is squeezed to maybe half the width of the screen (my resolution is 1920x1080). The resolution is such that I can't really access the settings menu in game so I tried changing the resolution in GameUserSettings.ini (originally x=1920, y=540, weird, right?) but it just got changed back to the original values and making the file read-only didn't make any difference. Sooo, is there anywhere else I could maybe change the setting or is a patch coming to resolve this issue (which apparently maybe) other people are having as well?

Anyway, looking forward to playing the game.
Cheers!

pixl_man: Maybe it's FOV related? Try this:
Config edit
Go to \AppData\Local\TheObserver\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Open Engine.ini
Add line:
[/script/engine.localplayer]

AspectRatioAxisConstraint=75

Save edited ini files to read-only.

elarithon: Ok, my solution; Press F11 ingame to switch to windowed mode. Adjust the window until you can see all the menu options, then go to VIDEO and click on the black area next to RESOLUTION. Switch it to whatever you need, then apply.

I just tested it, so I'm not sure how it will do in the long run.

elarithon: Also, it seems that there are black bars over the screen when using this. Almost half the window is cut-off by them... But I guess this is as close as I can get for now.

lepinkainen: For me there are no black bars (after I do that bit of juggling every time I start the game, of course). Are you still playing in windowed mode or in fullscreen?

elarithon: Fullscreen. Gonna try running it windowed and use the borderless fullscreen app.

EDIT: No, doesn't help. You don't have black borders on the top and bottom?

lepinkainen: Nope. After going to windowed mode by pressing F11 the graphics are ok (and then pressin apply in graphics settings it goes back to fullscreen with correct graphics). Originally I sort of had those black bars on the sides so the picture was squished vertically (and still have those before doing the windowed->fullscreen thing).

Adog918: This could help. Apologize if it doesn't. But browse the folder where the game is installed. Right click on the game application. Click properties, click the Compatibility tab. And check mark Override High DPI scaling behavior with application. See if that helps.
