Windower.exe crashes after disconnecting second monitor

tim-chaplin commented 4 years ago

When I set Windower up, I had a second monitor connected to my laptop. Now I'm trying to run it without the second monitor plugged in and it just crashes immediately after showing the splash screen. If I reconnect the monitor it works again.

Here's what's in crash.log:

Make sure your windower game resolution setting matches that of your "main" display (which may be a different value between your monitor and your laptop)

Also make sure your laptop display resolution matches the resolution that the screen actually is

How can I view or change the windower game resolution setting without being able to run Windower?

It wasn't clear which splash screen you were referring to (windower or POL) Have you tried something like this?: https://github.com/Windower/Issues/issues/1002#issuecomment-520068181

Sorry it took me forever to respond to this. I had found that comment thread, but the options it was talking about weren't available in my nvidia control panel. However, I was able to finally fix this by messing around with options in my intel control panel. Right click on desktop -> graphics options -> panel fit -> maintain aspect ratio. I don't remember which setting was selected before.
