Half of the screen is "cut off"

**Overgaard1982** · August 20, 2006, 06:07 AM

Hey folks

I've acquired myself the wonderful rome game, but I havent been able to play t bc of 2 problems:

1. The right half of the screen seems to be pushed off the screen, so that only half of all the bars and menus are visible - what to do?

2. After I've installed the patch, the game becomes unable to play - it says it cant locate the cd. Is there any specific way you should install the patch?

Thanks

wow incredible coincidince!

after having uninstalled RTW about 6 months ago,i decided with the imminent approach of MTW2 to install the game to have another bash,

i installed it today(a few hours ago actually) i was eagerly waiting to jump in to the fray,but alas i found the same problem as you,the entire right side was cut off almost as if it was operating on a very low resolution.It has the appearence as if the screen is 'stretched'.

i am attepmting to install the 1.2 patch,but might not if as you say,makes the game unplayable.

i had some type of uber virus about a month back and the hardrive was replaced by a local company in my town,but ever since they brought it back my PC hasnt been quite right

can anyone help?............................please!

Could you guys perhaps post a screenshot?

**VALIS** · August 23, 2006, 01:42 PM

how do we do that exactly?

sorry................i'm semi-computer illiterate

EDIT:cheers publius,i'll try that.

you might want to go into your preferences text file (you will need to open up your program files for rtw) and I think there is a resolution option there. Perhaps try setting it back to something like 1024 x 768 (if its changed). Not sure if that will do anything, but worth a shot

well try making anti allising option of
{in game menu}
if doesnt work try to toggle monitor type {wide screen }{in game menu}

!! SOLUTION !! :

You just have to turn off your anti-aliasing in the game - atleast it works for me

the half the screen is not visble problem comes from anti-aliaseing turn it off and your screen should be fine as for your patch problem try installing 1.3 and 1.5 and see if you still have the problem.

edit: YAY 100th post!
