Blurry Icons/UI on higher Resolutions?

[Zipzopdippidybopbop]

Basically what the title says. I've noticed that when I set my resolution on the campaign and battle maps to maximum the UI and the interface is quite blurry (although the units seem sharp enough).

Is this common, and if so, how can I fix this? (running RTW Gold + both expansions btw)

It's a problem of modern tech being applied to old software. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that R:TW has a hardcoded upper limit for resolution. This is an old game after all. Try incrementally lowering the resolution to find the right fit. The hard truth is that R:TW just wasn't written for your brand-spanking-new GPU (relatively).

Haha! Not a problem - glad to hear it wasnt a problem with the installation or something =P

try play them in windowed mode, that would be far better

Oh bugger I had the same crazy UIs,didn't know it was RTW engine? Thanks I will try myself to see. My resolution is 1440x...

I play R:TW mods at 2560x1600 resolution and have no problems.

Some people complain that the icons are 'stretched' in widescreen mode but they look OK to me.

I don't play 'vanilla' R:TW.

This is what I see on the RSII campaign map (the drop down message icons on the left do look fuzzy to be honest):

I'll try and post what I see on the battlemap (I use the 'minimal UI' interface for that).

The 'minimal UI' can be set up using the preferences.txt file (change MINIMAL_UI:FALSE to MINIMAL_UI:TRUE) - if you do so I suggest that you set up the control keys (in the Options menus) for the battle speeds as these are the buttons that vanish between the stanndard and minimal UI interface (I set mine to Pause=Shift+P, Normal=Shift+N, Double=Shift+D and Triple=Shift+T).
