FAF window stuck in too high resolution

Postby ax0lotl » 19 Jun 2016, 10:37

Hi,
I recently opened FAF with a new monitor with higher resolution (1920x1200), now switched back to my old monitor (1280x1024). When I now open FAF, I see only part of the screen. The restore window size function is disabled. Result is that I cannot change the screen size and cannot get to the Find Games tab (or any tab).
I assume that the window size is stored in some configution file. Can you tell me which file that is? Then I can edit the size.

Contrary to all other Windows, the FAF window doesn't allow itself to be moved by win+arrows...

Double clicking the title bar maximizes/returns your window back to normal.
I'm watching you!
