full screen?

[Reverend Scott]

can't figure out how to run CoW in full-screen- any hints?

[azgard]

2 ways:

warhammer.cfg, open with notepad

[video]
windowed = 1

change to 0

second: options

campaign resolution to your standard, and battle resolution to you standard.

Edit it to your desktop native resolution. Like so....

Every thing else you can adjust in game.

I suggest leaving the warhammer.cfg in widowed and windowed boarderless mode. If you video and cpu can handle it. Makes for a more stable platform
Hope this helps

[Reverend Scott]

Thanks! I'll see what I can do.

[Scamander]

What azgard is referring to(Second option) is in the medieval2.preference.cfg

Where is this found? I looked in the Preferences folder but didn't see a .cfg file.

Thanks



(after installing 1.4.3 when I go to run the game, the game only covers mabye a third of my desktop's space. I assume changing the values explained in the medieval2.preference.cfg would fix this. Is this correct?)

1- medieval2.preference.cfg {found in M2TW main Folder}

2- If set to native resolution{Desktop Resolution} it will fix it, yes

If you want full screen non-windowed. You must do as azgard said. To clarify.......


You must edit your warhammer.cfg{Located in Call_of_Warhammer Folder}
The edit the lines like so.....

You will now be playing innon-windowed mode

[Reverend Scott]

if I can find it I will...- lmao

[Valiant Champion]

I wish instead of "try this cfg!"

the team would have specifically explained why they felt windowed mode adds to the game.

from all I got from that thread people made guesses and observations but that was about it.

[mattven]
