Video resolution - Ruud - 01-06-2013

Hello,

Options only gives me three possibilities for my video resolution. The max is 1152 x 864. Yet I have seen various screen prints that look more like 16:9 then the above 4:3. If possible, I would like to use laptops own 1680 x 945 resolution.

Any help/info would be appreciated. Thank you!

Kind regards, Ruud Baltissen

Hello Ruud.

Thats is possible. You could do it manualy and set resolution as you wish. But, then you may have problems with screen text. Some words bigger, some small, some ok.....
That resolution you wish, must be supported. But, if you wish to try it, let me know and i tell you how.

Use Discovery Launchpad.

Gebruik Discovery Launchpad, die laat je alle resoluties gebruiken met de juiste afmetingen en dergelijke. Op die manier kan je ook meer accounts gebruiken en dus meer schepen.

just add [ -dx] (without [] to end of your game shortcut target line)

Thank you very much /hartelijk dank for all your replies!


Update: I tried the '-xd' solution but that doesn't do anything. I went to the properties of the shortcut and added -xd after the last quote of 'Target'. Windows didn't allow me to add it before the quote.
I started the game but the screen wasn't wider and Options didn't give me the possebility to change it in other then the original values.
Did I overlook something?
