Forced windowed mode?

So I'm stuck at 1024/768 or w/e it is. If I try and change the resolution it crashes.

How do I change this...

Edit your medieval2.preference found in the main folder of your M2TW

Change these Lines to your prefered resolution. The rest can be changed in game.

Sweet, prompt and helpful as ever Red. Will give it a try later.

Glad to help

There should be no reason it resets to a lower resolution. Unless a cfg somewhere is telling it to
Ok, do this. edit your warhammer.cfg to change it to non-windowed mode. Set resolution and other settings like you want it. Then copy your medieval2.preference to desktop. Reenable windowed mode and try it. If it dose it agin. Change back to non-windowed mode. Copy the desktop medieval2.preference back into main M2TW folder and play.

Here is the line you need to edit in warhammer.cfg

Aha got it now

Cheers

Enjoy

to match game resolution to desktop resolution is a big strain on some systems. And who wants to make their desktop a lower resolution to match the games?

That is why I gave him instructions to enable or disable(his choice)windowed mode.
