Interface & campaign map graphics improvements

[bones79]

Hi All,

Just installed the mod and eventually got it loading properly with steam, but insure if everything is as it should be - most notably the interface and campaign map looks like it's on 640x480, rather than the 1920x1080 I chose in the settings. Is that correct? If so, is there an interface & campaign map graphical improvement mod which will work with SS available? Would be great to get it on par with Empire.

Thanks, and sorry if this has been asked before

Check that your Windows resolution matches SS settings

BTW, please check the above images at actual size (1920x1080). Thanks!

Hi NJ,

Resolution settings are correct, and everything is on best settings.

Do these look correct?

Things seem blurry - text doesn't seem well rendered, and the city icons are terrible

Thanks!

Note that M2TW engine is quite old now. It's logical that you find the graphics in less quality compare to newer games.
Have you tried to lower the settings one level down? Sometimes, you can get better results that way.

The game is optimized for 1024x768 resolutions if I remember correctly. So obviously the higher your resolution, the more blurry things seem. The campaign map looks fine, the battle map as well, but the texts and interface are blurry. Sadly there is no way of fixing this as far as I know (and I tried).

There's the GEM mod.
Installation is not difficult, but the tweeking, done by altering specific numbers in the readme files in the M2TW folder, is complex if you don't understand computer graphic terms.
