[QUOTE="mk47, post: 265137, member: 6982"] Exactly. I followed Rob Misner's wording in his setup guide. For a 4K playfield setup this would be the partly adjusted description: [B]Setting up your PC:[/B] The resolution of the playfield display must be set to 2160x3840. [B]Setting up the Game:[/B] The game settings will require that the Back buffer width and Back buffer height maintain the same ratio as the default settings for the mod. Though the values recommended aren’t listed in the drop down menu, you can select each box and manually enter the proper values. These are required and valid: 2160x4400 (default) [B]Setting up the Mod:[/B] WindowStretch=586 [COLOR="#FF0000"]This is the default value for proper aspect ratio. I Recommend not changing if you’re using a 2160x3840 display for playfield.[/COLOR] This setup works out of the box using the same unmodified cam files. Most of the tables look much better :-) The only missing piece is the DMD. As a workaround you can leverage dmdext to provide a DMD, but obviously that isn't the perfect solution for all tables. That's why I picked The Addams Family as example because it has this additional "THING" thing ;-) It would be awesome if you find some time to look at this issue. I can't estimate the effort for implementing the feature. But from the screenshots I assume that the coordinates for the cut out need to be adjusted. The top alignment is still correct but the height needs to be doubled. The width for the cut out "simply" needs to be doubled, too. But the left alignment isn't correct. A rough estimation is that it needs to be shifted to the right about one third of the 1080 DMD size. While the simple doubling of height and width seems to be obvious for all table's DMD / HUD, I'm not sure about the alignment. [/QUOTE]
