Video resolution

[RFC]

Sorry but I could not find the answer to this question on these forums.

How do you change the resolution? Do you add a line in the HorseNMusket.ini file? If so what do you add with the resolution parameters?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks zakblood but I have read those posts and still don't understand how to change the resolution...windowed or full screen. Sorry!

After installing I deleted the desktop shortcuts as I don't like having a cluttered desktop Should I have not done this?

Thanks for your help.

post 3 explains it, shortcut matters little, as your editing a file, as game only supports

Horse and Musket is designed to run in 1024x768 resolution

but does work with higher, just doesn't scale to well so can't look a bit blocky so if like me and a few others you wish to use larger, edit the file as shown in the link above, then it will be in your desktop res, but in a window, so will look more crisp

I have followed these instructions with no luck.

Windowed mode does not scale to my desktop size it stays at 1024x768

Thanks for trying to help. Much appreciated.

[zakblood]

no it doesn't scale to it, it will give a windowed box the same size to 1024x768 if you follow the guides, if you want it to go bigger, but make it all fuzzy looking, just don't add the windowed bit in the file adding

Thank you very much for taking the time to try and help me with my questions, but at the risk of sounding REALLY stupid I will ask one last time - I don't see in the posted links you have provided where it explains how to change the resolution??? I want to try the game in my desktop resolution of 1920x1200 (full screen or windowed mode) to see if it looks any better than the unplayable state the game is at the moment for me. For the life of me I can't figure out how to do this! Sometimes with older software you can add a video resolution line in the ".ini" file, but this game doesn't allow that right? So how do I change the resolution? I'm running windows 10.

[zakblood]

there isn't a place where you can put in a given screen size that i know of, it's either your desktop resolution you are using now, in your case 1920x1200 from a lower resolution monitor with a -10% vertical difference 4:3 instead of a larger 16:9 of 1920x1080 (mine) or windowed mode, which alter both resolution's your's and mine to the game state (which it was made and designed for) 1024x768 resolution (as far as i know all that can be changed in the ini file is the type of font used, or windowed mode on or off, and nothing else)

it supports all other formats of resolution but doesn't scale well to all of them, so this is why the windowed mode is used to make it playable, adding in manually anything else into the game ini may or may not work, as of yet, neither the developer or anyone else that i can find has done it, or printed here as such it's working, not that i can find anyway, if it had been, it would be a sticky by now i'm sorry to say.

some resolutions scale better than others, as i have shown, a native one scales better than a none native one if your doesn't look as good, this is older tech trying to be working with newer tech, so what ever looks ok in 4:3 may or may not scale as well to 16:9 or the otherway
