I'm running windows 11. When I run Hover Ace, the pre-game cinematics will play in full screen. When finished or I skip them, the game drops down to windows mode and only takes up 1/4 of my 1920x1080 laptop screen. It's difficult to read the text and playing game isn't fun. Changing the in-game graphics settings don't seem to have any effect. What else can I try or other information can I provide to get to a resolution?

Thank you!

Same issue on Windows 11 here. Display settgins set to fullscreen, does not help.
Maybe some graphic card level hack to force it to render 4xthe resolution at 1440p? I don't know.
Doesn't contain much info about anything (OS used, targeted max. Resolution, etc), but maybe try what this dude tried?

Hi, I just tried it, there's no such registry entry available, it just says default with no values and no way to create the string that pcgamingwiki is asking for.

I have launched the game 5 times now and tried changing options multiple times and it just goes to a tiny matchbox on a 4k laptop. Literally matchbox window size. I don't want to keep trying cause then GOG might think I am up to some funny business when I ask for a refund. It just does not work here properly past the title screen.

I am bummed, as this game is like the developer thought what type of game they'd make that I'd love, and this is it. Exactly my type of racing game and looks like so much fun on youtube videos.

Having the exact same issue with Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Christmas, but that's only one episode of like 10 and the others work, so I will keep that and try the forums to see if I can get the Xmas bonus level working in something other than a matchbox. LOL.

Speaking of Jazz Jackrabbit 2, it has a source port:
