To have a working mouse the resolution must have an 4 to 3 aspect ratio. Unset the Override tick box to get back to you native resolution. Set the Override tick box and set the resolution drop down to the desired custom resolution and click on the Apply box to play Pirate Its the size tab that is needed to get the custom resolutions.īy Setting or unsetting the check box labeled - Override the scaling mode set by games and programs - you can get the screen to adapt to the changed resolutions. It seems to work but now the Control panel is back to having scaling and size tabs. OK I wrote all that without fully adjusting the Nvidia control panel. You may have to restart most programs to get them to look right.

I kept the control panel open and can flip back and forth between the custom setting that is now in resolution list and the full. The only real issue is that you will have to reset you Nvidia control back to have a full 1920 by 1080 screen again. And in the Video panel for the game you should now have a 1440 X 1080 option, Try it, it worked for me. Launch Sid Meir's Pirates and it will be Full Screen, well as full it can be, 1440 with black pillars. To your Pirates config file THEN you probably should try it that way first. You now have a screen with black pillars on the side. Let it time out if your screen is screwed up. IF OK then hit the OK button or whatever it was. Instructions for this are based on my 1920 x1080 LCD monitor. Set the Enable resolutions not exposed by the display Check Box, or don't as it does not seem to matter. IF you click on the Customize button you will get a pop up panel. AFTER I did that I found the Customize button and not such tab. You can create a custom resolution from there. IF you don't see that, I didn't, you should see a resize or perhaps resolution tab on the page that I can no longer see. For some unknown reason, trying to play it in a window in Windows 11 is messed up, the window sticks to the bottom of the screen and the mouse is not synched with the window under most settings. This is so you can play it the way its designed. Pirates was designed for a 4 x 3 aspect ration and playing it in wide screen messes with the images and the mouse. This may work for other video cards but this is using an Nvidia 1060.
