Hi, My laptop only has 1366x768 resolution but I have a 1920x1080 screen which it would be nice to use. Is there anyway I can run the game at 1920x1080 ? At the moment I seem to be limited to the maximum resolution of the laptop

Have you tried in Windowed mode?

Yep, but it only allows resolution lower than the primary monitor.
Is there some kind of config file I can edit to fix this?
With the smaller view area available compared to older CC versions, a bigger resolution would be very useful, at 1366x768 the zoomed in view is so small it makes game play pretty difficult

To my knowledge you can only do it through Windows registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Matrix Games\Close Combat Gateway to Caen
ScreenX and ScreenY are the keys which contain the string values for screen resolution.

But I don't know if it would work. I'll ask Steve (the developer) to take a look here.

You might also be able to make your larger monitor the primary one, run the game and set the screen resolution, and then switch back to the smaller monitor as primary.

On mine I right-clicked anywhere on the desk top and enabled the second monitor.
