  • Hello everyone!

    I am facing a common but complex scaling issue in my Construct project and would greatly appreciate the community's insight, especially regarding best practices within Construct. The ProblemI am trying to achieve a true, consistent fullscreen experience that dynamically adjusts for all display types (standard monitors, ultrawide monitors, and TVs) while maintaining the correct aspect ratio and preventing common issues like Overscan on TVs and Letterboxing (black bars).My current setup uses a fixed viewport size (e.g., 1920x1080), but this naturally fails when switching to different screens (e.g., 16:9 or 21:9). Specific Questions for Construct ExpertsConstruct Scaling Mode: What is the recommended Project Property -> Scaling Mode setting to handle dynamic resolution changes and aspect ratio differences effectively across various hardware? (e.g., Letterbox Integerr vs. Scale Outer vs. Scale Inner).Handling Overscan: TVs often automatically zoom in on the display (Overscan), cutting off the edges. Is there a built-in Construct method or common event system technique to establish a "Safe Zone" (e.g., a 10% margin on all sides) for critical UI elements, ensuring they are never clipped on a TV?Aspect Ratio Logic: Is it better to set the project to a very high resolution and then use an Event Sheet to calculate the current display's aspect ratio (e.g., W/H) and adjust the viewport size accordingly, or let Construct handle the core scaling?Any examples of successful implementations or links to tutorials specifically dealing with cross-platform fullscreen scaling would be extremely helpful.Thank you in advance for your time and expertise!
