resolution screen

Well,
I have a 1920/1080 screen. When i try to play in lower resolution, the game stay in full screen with an ugly picture cause of the lower resolution. So i quit the game and relaunch it and it looks like that :



windowed mode... before (version 1.4.1), when i changed the resolution, the picture was not windowed but in the middle of my screen. (i hope you understand, i m not very good in english... sorry).

So can somebody say me why ? and what is the solution ?

I think you have only two options.

1. Play in windowless mode (its in the .cfg file, to enable put = 1 rather 0, disable windowed mode = 0). This allows you full screen (perhaps you can set your resolution to whatever instead of your desktop and it will still be full screen).
2. Play in windowed mode at a lower resolution. If I remember right, you can, up to a point, stretch your COW screen but it will always be off a bit. I think the problem is the widescreen. When MTW came out, those were not common monitors, so they did not do a good job coding for this.
3. Make sure that both windowed mode and windowless mode are not on at same time (=1). It defaulted to windowed mode when this happened to me.

Hope this helps.

ok , you find the solution !!! the good option is... the third

+ 1 rep, of course.
