Widescreen Gaming Forum

Thanks for the settings, I tried them and it works. However the info on the screen look crushed. The circle and the compass I mean. I guess there is no solution for this? ...

I'm not sure what you mean the circles on my compass in TripleHead is fine ...
The HUD should just expand wider without distortion as the screen gets wider ... it shouldn't look crushed.
Any chance you could show us a screenshot ?

This is strange. Now I understand why it looked crushed. I went to take a screenshot as you requested. By using print screen and Photoshop I saw that the image was 1024 x 768! So 4/3 and it was normal that it looked crushed! I did set what you said to 1280 x 800 but it doesn’t work!

I need to add the 1280 x 800 resolution to the setup menu of the game itself. I actually saw somewhere in a forum this resolution in a screenshot of the setup menu!

Odd ... it works for TripleHead resolutions and not 1280x800 ... :?

Did you make the file read only ?

Sorry I don't know what else to suggest.

Yes I did set it to readonly and I still see the 1280 x 800 resolution in the file. Can you set this resolution for yourself? I have Windows Vista x64.

Yeah ... very odd ... I have it in my setup menu ...



Can you run your desktop at 1280x800 ?

No I can't. My native resolution is 1680 x 1050. I have all the 1280 x ****, except 800! Do you mean that it gets the resolution from the Display Driver? I can try to add a custom resolution to nVidia control panel.

Aie, I can't. Now I remember. The nVidia driver for Vista x64 doesn't allow custom resolutions. So this could be due to Vista?

Yep that is why it isn't working ... only resolutions your display can do will show up in there.

Is 1440x900 in there ? ... that is the next 16:10 res down from 1680x1050

I have heard that too about the drivers not doing custom resolutions ...
What drivers are you using ?
What card do you have ?

You should put your system specs in your sig ... :wink:
