Windowed Resolution

Post by Justascratch »

Apologies first for asking something that must have been addressed earlier.

Is there a way to run AE in windowed mode that can fill my 1680 by 1050 screen or is the standard square window the only option?

Thanks is advance.

Nope.  1024x768 is the only option, in a window, or full screen where your resolution is changed to that while the game is open.

Depending on your GPU, you can scale in hardware. Just maintain the 4:3 aspect ratio. For your setup the maximum apparent resolution would be 1400x1050. That will leave 200x1050 worth of real estate to slide back and fourth in. If you use your monitor in portrait mode, as I do (1080x1920, scale accordingly and you can slide up and down!

Beware of some of the "control panel" software that comes with the latest drivers. For instance, the latest two NVIDEA driver updates dispensed with the tweakable hardware scaling feature in the control panel.
