resolution?

Post by hobbsjas »

I can't find where it states supported resolutions or if the game can be played in a window. Anyone know?

seems to be 1024x768 fixed and full screen.  I am hoping it has "windowed mode" support at least but can't find it in options.

Hi Grimmstede,

The game runs in a fixed resolution: 1024x768. No windowed mode at present that I'm aware of at least.

Regards,

Hey guys:
 
We have no windowed mode offered at this time. I realize 1024 x 768 is a bit behind BUT this was a little ahead of the resolution curve when this thing was in design (That time thing again! My bad) but I also intentionally used exclusive mode to maximize scrolling / graphical speed. Windowed mode was slower. You can ALT-TAB yourself around to move to other apps and it should work cleanly.
 
 
Thank you

Hopefully you will add in more resolution and/or window mode support in the future. Widescreen monitors is close to the norm for users these days, and most prefer not to have their games stretched to fit it.

It works fine on our widescreen test systems, though it's not running in native widescreen resolution.

Not to be pedantic, but does that mean you do not expect to incorporate high res/wide res display options for this title?

We don't have plans either for or against that, right now we're just focused on addressing any critical post-release issues and moving on from there.
