Screen resolution

Post by weinsoldner »

Just bought this game and so still trying to understand the basics. How do I change the screen resolutions so the game will fit my whole screen?

If you look under the update to version 1127 public beta and look at the change log, you will see a number of computer switches you can set to make the game run better. I suggest you start there.

There is a limit to how large you can set the resolution. Can't remember exactly, but around 3000+ the game just launches in a small window of about 2-3".
You might run into it if you are testing manual resolutions. The vast majority of folks are well within the expanded screen sizes. I only found out due to experimenting on my command line for the game.

Thanks for all the info! Because I am not really a computer nerd I used the Seabee mod.
And it worked! So now I have doubled the size of the game on my screen and also got rid
of a mouse that moved at half speed.
