Changing resolution on Display? - zetec-s-joe - 11-28-2016

Hi, first time poster, so first of all would just like to say a big thank you to the guys behind Dolphin, it is an amazing Emulator!

So heres my problem I am hoping someone knows the awnser to. I have my TV (Use an Alienware Alpha R2 in my HTPC setup)
The TV is set to 1920x1080p60, I have all the Dolphin settings to 1080p and nothing is on auto, but when launching or closing a game bia Dolphin my Screen changes the resolution from 1920x1080p60 to 1920x1080p60 for no reason. I've tried a mixture of all settings in Dolphin to try and cure this but no luck, never happens on other emulators. I know some people may not see this as an issue, but it would make for a prefect experince for it not to show the Resolution change that isnt one.

Any help would be greatly apppreciated.

Joe

These two things look identical to me. I assume it's a typo. Can you clarify?

What you see is correct, I dont know why it is doing it, but when i launch a game the display refreshes from 1920x1080p60 to the exact same resoultion

You really need to explain the problem.  You're telling us it changes from one resolution to the same, so we don't see a problem.  What is happening that you're complaining about?  So far we see nothing to fix

Basically, even though its set to my monitors resolution which i use for everything on the PC, out of all the Emulators I have iwhen loading and closing a game from Dolphin it makes the display kick out a message saying the resolution is changing even though its already on the the right setting, it is just a bit annoying as no other program or emu does this, I just wondered if anyone else had this and knew a way round it as it shouldnt happen really.

Thanks for replying

If I had to guess fullscreen resolution is set to 1920x1080 in dolphin instead of auto.
