Required Information in all Technical Support Requests

Please ensure that you provide the following information for all questions posted in this Technical Support forum.
  • Version and language (e.g. 8.00 Hotfix 3, English, etc.).
  • Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).
  • The game start you originally selected for the game in which the problem occurred.
  • Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.
  • Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.
  • Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).
  • Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).
Failure to provide all this information will make it pretty much impossible for people to help you and may mean that it takes longer for your problem to be identified and hopefully solved. So please don't waste your own time and everyone else's by just posting something like "My game freezes. Help!!!".

If you are supplying information that will not conveniently fit into posts in this forum (approx 70,000 character limit per post), in the worst case you can split long text files across 2 consecutive posts, or ideally you can upload the data to a reputable public fileshare site (a few examples are Google Drive, DropBox or PasteBin, etc) but please don't use sites that spam advertising or require registration for downloads. Please use in your post the open public sharing link to your file(s) that will not require any account or registration for others to download.

Note: Support for third party modifications must be provided by the authors of those modifications, and any requests for such support should be posted in the appropriate thread in the Scripts and Modding forum.

No cursor and map at very high resolutions

Post by Boronenkumpel »

Disclaimer: I know this is likely out of scope for you to fix given how niche this issue is, but maybe it's still worth reporting.

On my triple-monitor setup (3x4k 16:9, combined resolution of 11520x2160), the cursor and map are invisible.
Dropping the resolution while maintaining the ultra wide aspect ratio makes them show up again, IF done in Windows.
Dropping the resolution in-game with the combined screen still set to that original 12k resolution does not bring them back.
Other UI elements, incl. the map UI and even encyclopedia, are rendered just fine.

I can't tell exactly at what resolution these issues start to happen, the highest resolution below native I can set is "only" 4080x768.

I tested on both 8.0 and 9.0 Beta 7 and got the exact same results.

Apart from these issues, running X4 like this is freaking amazing. The new gate effects are absolutely jaw dropping like this :D


Tested on:
Windows 11
Intel Arc B580, Driver 32.0.101.8626
The monitors were combined using the Intel driver's built-in combined display feature
