Is there a simpler way of doing this? Im a dinossaur with tech and all the answers here are either unavaliable or too hard for me to figure out. 

It doesn't get any simpler than plug in or wirelessly connect to a second monitor or TV and adjust Windows display settings.

Yea it doesnt.  I've tried something like this to play Dungeons Siege 2 and now my tv have its resolution frakked for 1 year now.  And i cant configure it back.  Plus i dont have any bluetooth or anything that fancy because like i've said, im a tech dinossaur, i dont use bluetooh and i do not trust wireless devices.  (I am also paranoid)

How do you do that? I am having the same issue of screens being cut off even with Infinite screen being used. 

On the 3rd tab (called Oversize) you'll see a list of all the windows currently open. 
Once you open Aurora (and each and every time you have to resize it), click on "Reload list" to the bottom left - then click on the line with the Aurora's window (you'll have to figure out which one that is - usually by the 'Windows Forms' and 'Player Race' in it) - and then you can adjust Window Width and Height on the bottom right.
And then you'll have to do this every single time you open new window . . . 
Annoying? Yeah - but hey - you want to play Aurora, right?

Cheers!

Clearly everybody else is figuring out how to play Aurora: how are you guys doing it? It's quite literally unplayable on many laptops otherwise.

If you're using linux and running Aurora through wine you can use the xrandr command to scale your display above your screens resolution with only a bit of weirdness.  It is very playable if you have a magnifier or can handle the eye-strain.

Unfortunately for Windows users you are probably going to need to get a cheap monitor, a virtual machine, or something of that sort until a new solution is discovered.

You can set a custom resolution using nVidia or AMDs control panel. In nVidia you can do so by selecting "Change Resolution" under the "Display" list. In that window about halfway down you find a "Customize" button. In that window select the "Enable resolutions not exposed by the display" checkbox. Then click the "Create Custom Resolution" button. They type in your options and save. You may need to select it from the "Resolution" box afterward.
