Set Screen Size

There have been a lot of issues with setting the screen size and resolution since the technology and monitor resolution has improved over the years.

UO Steam and UO Razor have options on the gump menu to adjust the screen size

UO Razor - Setting the screen size and resolution

In razor, under more options, is a force game size window option. Check that box and set to 1200 x 800

1. Close all clients
2. Open UO Razor and login to the character that I want to change the resolution for
3. Verify in Razor their profile is active
4. Verify the settings in UO are 800x600

UO Steam - Setting the screen size and resolution

Game window size.png

In UO Steam, you can change the windows size before you log in to the server. Players set to 1000 x 750. That seems to be the largest that can be set, before seeing a large amount of black tiles.

You must be logged out of the game with uo razor/uo steam open, for the option to be enabled. Then the next time you log into the game it'll force the resolution size.

Steam/Assist will let you modify the value in game but it won't take effect til you log out and back in.

NOTE: You may have to adjust the screen values based on your monitor

NOTE: Force the window size by changing the number from 800x600 to 1024x 768 is most common, I actually stretched my screen to 1200x800 and fits nicely with room for spell icons, map, paperdoll and backback
