Screen Resolution - 9/29/2012 4:35:25 PM

Status: offline 		Sorry if this is answered somewhere else, but I couldn't find it.

Is there any way to start the game in a resolution other than the desktop?? Mine is 1920x1200, which makes the graphics really small. Sure, I can change it to something better, but then I am constantly switching back and forth, messes up my desktop icons, etc.

Thanks!

Hopefully a future UPDATE will provide a number of windowed resolution options.

Status: offline 		Hi,had the same exact question as the OP, so figured might as well resurrect this thread rather than starting a new one.

Is it a possibility? Is it something already available in the newly released middle east series?

Thanks!

Reinstalled after a long time to check out the new patches and it's almost impossible to see anything if I play at my native res.

I wonder how other people with 1920-1200 or 1980x1080 play? Just change the desktop resolution from the control panel every time?

Status: offline 		I've got 1920x1080 and I play with 3D only for most part, but for a generic look over the battlefield with 2D. Now, with CS:Middle East having the two Zoom-in 2D views, I can finally play solely with 2D when I want

Status: offline 		hi thanks for the responses guys, and casebier thanks for the link - that seems like just what I'd like to use. Download it but having a little trouble figuring it out.

I'll do some searching and hopefully figure it out!

"C:\Program Files (x86)\12noon Display Changer\dc.exe" -width=800 -height=600 /c "c:\Matrix Games\John Tiller's Campaign Series\autorun.exe"

just replace what is in the shortcut target with the

Hey, would you mind a screenshot with the 3D units, so I can see what they look like? Something with Egyptians or Syrians please!

hey thanks for the help! I can get it to work (turns out I should have been downloading display changer 4.3.2, I was clicking on 'Display changer II 1.5.0' which didn't appear to do much when I downloaded it yesterday).

The catch is for whatever reason the only resolution I can seem to get to work is 1650x1050; which helps make things a little bigger but I was hoping to try out 1440x900 or even 1280x800. For some reason those don't work (even with -force switch added on).

Tried a few others at different aspect ratios and no luck, I'll keep plugging away and hopefully can figure it out.

Thanks again -

I have had this on my disk with a Desktop that started as 8.0, and has seen the OS updated all the way to W10 Fall Creators Update. All versions were 64 bit ones.

I suggest you contact Matrix Support if you continue to have issues, as they are well prepared to address any OS/HW issues, as that is what this sounds like.

Good luck!
