hello,

You can edit the preset’s variable definitions directly! By default, they’re simply set to inherit from the base preset. You can either edit the parameters of the base preset object, or untick the lock icon next to each variable definition in the VGA preset object to allow them to be overwritten. GameMaker doesn’t have very easy to find documentation on this, so I understand being confused!

ohhhh that makes perfect sense then! i admittedly only had a brief look at the code and assumed that you had locked it from being edited which would have been understandable, but i will definitely take a closer look at that now and see what i can do! thank you for clarifying :)

I've got a similar if different issue. Trying to push it to 1920x1080 and using the variables to set the aspect ratio to 16/9 and setting game width and game height to 1920x1080. I also set the room, camera, and viewport sizes to 1920x1080 (tiling the test images). The result is a black screen, is there something I'm doing wrong? Albeit, I'm very new to Gamemaker so I'm sure configuring something like this might be a bit out of my depth. Regardless, anything I'm doing wrong that could be causing this?
