Welcome to the forum! :D You want to add a commandline switch to the shortcut you use to run the game. Right click the shortcut and select properties. The change the Target line so that it reads: Code: C:Program FilesHomeworld2BinReleaseHomeworld2.exe -w 1280 -h 768
or wherever you installed the game. You'll need to run it from that shortcut if you want to be able to use the res. :) Basically, you want to add -w [horizontal res] -h [vertical res] to the target line. That's the fifth or sixth time that threads have vanished without a trace. There used to be three pages of solutions in the Solutions forum... :? |

Thank you so very much Mod :) I really appreciate it! We should prepare a letter, a petition, with signatures of the members here, to send to Computer Games companies to ask to start supporting widescreen resolutions natively in the games.... :) |

A while back I did some rearranging and pruning, and nixed a couple by accident. That has been at least six months ago. I just checked and Autopruning as *NOT* turned on for this forum. I went in the master config for the forum and turned pruning off as a whole. Hopefully this will fix it. |

Thank you so very much Mod :) You're welcome. Glad to be of help. :D A while back I did some rearranging and pruning, and nixed a couple by accident. That has been at least six months ago.

I remember seeing the Homeworld 2 thread less than a fortnight ago, which is why I was a bit puzzled. Thanks for the heads up, Ibrin. :) |

Hi again there..... I have a problem: changing the target line in the shortcut, it says that the path is not correct and does not let me save it... :( |

Code: D:Homeworld2BinReleaseHomeworld2.exe -w 1680 -h 1050
The above is exactly what is in my target line (I install games on a second partition, never to 'Program Files' ;) ) Maybe try adding (or removing) quotes? Some shortcuts have quotes around the actual target. Like this: Code: "D:Homeworld2BinReleaseHomeworld2.exe" -w 1680 -h 1050
If that doesn't work, try adding the commandline switch directly to the .exe file: it should work then, no matter what shortcut you use to the game. You could run it via the Run menu, too... navigate to where the .exe is. Start -> Run -> Browse -> Homeworld2 -> Bin-> Release -> click Homeworld2.exe, then add the " -w 1280 -h 768" line to the end. Notice the space between the - and the .exe, and the w and 1, and 0 and -, and h and 7. You need all the spaces, or it screws up. :) |

Once more....thank you so much! I was putting those quotes at the end of the line after the screen size, and I had to put them as you said, at the end of the target... thanks! PS: are you the same paradigm shifter seeling stuff on [ H ] , I might be interested in some things... :) |

You're welcome, glad it's sorted. :D PS: are you the same paradigm shifter seeling stuff on [ H ] , I might be interested in some things... No. I don't frequent that forum, and I don't sell things, either. :) |
