Technical Question

[Icedawg]

I just bought a new computer with a nice 23" monitor and thought that the larger monitor would make things easier to see. Unfortunately, things are actually worse than with my old 19" monitor.

Using just the official patch, everything is fine and the game is much easier to view. However when I try using the latest beta, I get this teeny tiny window for the game map. It only fills in 40% or so of the total space on my monitor. I've tried tweaking the resolution to various settings and can get it up to maybe 60% of the screen.

Can any of you technically inclined guys help out here?

The beta loads in windowed mode, at least until you change it. To do that, right click on the beta icon on your desktop, then go to the Properties line - usually at the bottom. When you do this, you'll get a window that looks like the picture here. At that point, just erase/remove the "-w" that is listed after your executable line (should be where the red box in the picture is), and save. The game should now open in full screen mode when you start it.

Thanks alot! It worked like a charm.

You can also set the game to play in wide screen mode. I believe there is a Read Me with the game giving the instructions on how to set a specific Resolution. Wide screen is awesome as you can actually see more than a small section of the map at one time.
