Screen Resolution

The Seven Years’ War was fought across the globe and called by some the first “World War” as virtually every major power participated. In the center of events was Prussia, almost constantly at war and lead by the now legendary Frederick the Great.

Relive the exciting and trying days of Frederick the Great in Horse and Musket: Volume I, the improved and expanded combination of the previous Prussian War Machine and Prussia’s Glory titles. Horse and Musket: Volume I is a reboot of the successful Horse and Musket series, including not only two solid historical titles in one package, but also many new game features, a powerful new editor, and a complete graphics overhaul to an already acclaimed gaming system.

Screen Resolution

Post by canuckgamer »

Last month I bought a new system which includes a widescreen monitor with a native resolution of 1680 X 1050. I would like to clarify whether this game has this resolution option. If not, it is my understanding that displays at a lower resolution will not look very good on my monitor. Thanks.

You can run it in windowed mode, thus keep the sharpness of the graphics. This is what I do, instead of running it in full screen mode.

1024x78 in windowed mode on a 1680x1050 monitor will be quite small. Another option is to set your graphics card to maintain aspect ratio and it will use the middle of the screen and be in the correct aspect ratio. This causes some interpolation so not as sharp as windowed mode but much larger image area and not as blurry and distorted like if you stretched it to use full screen. I'm thinking of buying this game too but I am fortunate enough to have a 2nd computer setup in my bedroom that is connected to ye olde 19" 4:3 CRT monitor.
