RTW - Resolution?

**Hope|AbZ** · January 17, 2010, 10:44 PM

Hi. I want to play RTW Extended Realism on a 1920x1200 resolution which is my monitor's native.

How do I do this as there options in game dont exceed 1280x****. I tried changing the strategy_resolution in the preferences folder and changed widescreen to true, but this doesn't do anything. Infact.. I can completely remove the preferences.txt and it doesn't affect my game.

I remember about a year ago I was able to change the resolution via a windows application program what it was. I'm currently running Windows 7 pro.

Silly question. When I play using a widescreen resolution and with widescreen checked as true, a lot of the dialog graphics and background screens with progress bars appear stretched wide.

Is this normal or have I set a video option incorrectly?

That, I'm afraid, is normal. RTW seems not to have been designed to cope properly with wide screen technology.

Tony,
your background by the video options, is that already in FOE, because i have something lot different, (red movement on the background.

iT LOOK VERY NICE!!!

You have the movies activated, which is why you see the red moving images as a backdrop to your menus. That painting, by our talented artist Selukosart, can be seen as an alternative background if you use the -nm (no movies) switch in the Target Line of the Launcher or Icon.

I guess that 1920 x 1200 resolutins were far too exotic to be included for general use when RTW was designed and released, but it's easy enough to get the game to acknowledge its existeance and give you the option of using it.

All you have to do is go to the Video Options screen and click on the Auto-Detect Best Performance Settings button that is found in the bottom right hand corner of the screen (see image below). This will automatically add any additional screen resolutions that your PC monitor can support to the Battle and Strategy Map Resolution options.

Easy when you know how, eh!
