[SOLVED]

So, apparently, Windows 8.1 likes to scale things differently making a 1980x1080 seem like 1536x864
Go to Control Panel-> Display-> Let me choose one scaling level for all displays-> 100%

Hi everyone,
First off, Thank you for an amazing bot! And as for my issue, Yes, I have already searched the forums.
Brief Description Of Problem:
After following these instructions exactly https://the.bytecode.club/showthread.php?tid=298 and I got to the point of the first screenshot. Everything looked like it should work, but it would not detect that the window was actually the correct size (screenshot 2). After messing around for an hour, I tried changing my PC resolution and it finally ended up working (screenshot 3). I was wondering if there was any way to allow the bot to work with my Pc's native resolution. Thanks a lot in advance!

From the screen test result, It's clearly you didn't follow exactly the instruction. Coz after the update of registry, you need to restart PC to effect the resolution change.
Possible for bot to work with native resolution but as this is a macro bot highly dependent on windows size. It would be too much work for developer to develop all the resolution available since all of us has different resolution.

I know it's stupid but try and put the taskbar on the bottom. If it doesn't work, try download the Bluestack root version.

I don't think it's necessarily to restart PC because I didn't restart my PC and it works straight away after I update my registry.

I've restarted my PC multiple times as well as restarted BS multiple times with ending all the processes in task manager as well. Unfortunately, the size still persists when I use native resolution.

Try and download Bluestacks App player 0.9.6.4092 MOD.
I think it's a worth try.

I downloaded the version that was linked in the instructions, how is that one different from the one you mentioned?

@delta420, sorry was on my phone.. screen too small and missed out your first screen test result.

From the registry, i see you have an additional entry. EmulatePortrait, try delete it?

Jan 29, 2015#8

Deleted. There's no difference. I also tried installing the version stated by @2SUS but still no luck.

Technically the Bluestacks Windows should stick since it is smaller than the native resolution.

After you change your Windows Resolution to 864, 1536,

Apply Reg to check bluestack windows again.

Close all Bluestacks process (those starting with HD-)under Task Manager Process,

Run Start BlueStacks shortcut on desktop.

Do your screen test again.. Failed? Restart BS again
