Screen Resolution - 4/22/2014 9:34:58 AM

Status: offline 		I have a 1366*768 laptop resolution.

When I enter the game I can't 'reach' the lower part of the game. I've been to preferences but I can't see no options to change the resolution to my native (maybe the option is in the bottom of the screen ?).

Any advices ?

I learned this the hard way because I spent quite a bit of time myself trying to change resolution - but there is no need to. Unlike other 2x3 games, there are no fixed resolutions in this one.

Horizontaly is ok I can shrink or enlarge the window. But when i resize it vertically the window just moves down. As if I am using the 'hand' tool to move it down.

You could hide the taskbar and try to move the top window bar outside the visible area, but some pixels would still be cut off. You could also try selecting a graphics style with more narrow window borders (like classic Windows rather than XP style) and making window title font smaller.

I never thought it would be a problem.

Do you have the same problem, how did you fix it ?

I originally tested WitE ALPHA/BETA years ago on old IBM ThinkPad laptops from 2005 (they have 1024x768 resolution). The WitE worked OK but that was on WinXP...

Status: offline 		Yes Ivan I have the same issue. What I do is drag the taskbar to the side of the screen before playing. Once the game loads I double click on the games title bar and the fonts rescale or something.
FWIW WITW has the option to play full screen and has no issues with 1366x768.

There isn't anything here about required screen size.
So I wonder, how did you learn the 1366*768 resolution was problematic ?

Thanx for trying to help.

However I still can't get the game to be fully on the screen, whenever I go in the menu, I get a lower part of the screen 'unreachable'.

Is there a way to directly upload a screenshoot to this forum?
