Sizing the Map - 12/7/2020 7:21:35 PM

Status: offline 		I just purchased the game and am using the latest version (3.05)

When I launch the game, the playing area to move units is awful small, maybe about 1/3 of the screen. Is there a way to pan out? Is there a way to make the map fit the entire screen?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Status: offline 		I just bought the game and am having the same problem, I don't see any options to run the game full screen or to select the resolution. My monitor's native resolution is 2560 x 1440. I downloaded version 3.0.5 of the game from the Matrix website. As it is, the game is almost unplayable, can anyone help?

Status: offline 		Thanks, that worked, though it's still a bit odd when I try to fun at my monitor's full resolution of 2560 x 1440, it now only fills half the screen. I works better when I set it to a resolution a little smaller than my screen

Thanks in Advance

Are you seeing all the 'Screen Resolution' buttons, because the game resolutions include the 2560 X 1440 option you mentioned in your PM ?

Status: offline 		Well, I think I may have figured out my Problem..just not sure how to fix it.

My newer computer does not have a CD player..so I loade the game on my older computer then transferred the files (after loading) to a USB drive.
I Think the screen Res. is locked by the monitor size I had on my original computer when I dloaded it from CD..

Thoughts ?

With these 2 lines.

What happens if you edit them manually and save the file?

Very odd that the 3.05 update from the webpage is not actually the update and has to be shared by p.m. I can only get the resolutions AP514 mentions. 1920 x 1080 is greyed out and unclickable for me yet I just saw a screenshot in the AAR section with 1920 x 1080 highlighted.

Maybe someone with a real 3.05 could share a link here?
