What’s your preferred monitor resolution for WitP:AE?

[Slick91]

My monitor natively runs at 1920 x 1080 which is great for the 3D games, but sure does turn this game into fine print text. It’s almost too hard to read even using the –altFont switch.

I am curious to know what everyone’s preferred playing resolution is.

Or, if anyone has any tips to help the text to be more readable at higher resolutions.

2560 x 1600 in a window

You don’t really need high resolution.
You just want the text to be readable the way you like and I like to have nice round range rings.

I use full screen at 1680 x 1050 on a widescreen monitor.

The game looks better in higher resolutions

Same for me. No issues and a nice wide map.

I have a 4k monitor, that's a strange resolution. is that full screen or windowed?

Windowed. WitP:AE uses an old DirectX version that cannot handle the full 3840 x 2160 of a 4k display. 3k by 1500 is about as big as I have gotten it to go without display bugs. It gives me space to see manuals, spreadsheets, etc. as well.

1850x1050 windowed on my 17.3" laptop. If I'm home, I extend it to my 46" LCD tv...

2560x1440 on a Dell 25". Crisp and clear.

[Rafid]

- 1920 x 1080 on my 23" (native resolution 2560 x 1440)
- 1600 x 900 on my 14" laptop (which is native resolution)

Game and overview of areas gets better with higher resolution, but the icons and especially the font gets too small at some point. I recommend "-altFont" regardless of resolution which helps readability a bit.

Was mistaken.

Its actually 1280 x 760

Every time I try higher res the icons turn into tiny pips too small to discern.

It is nice to see a much larger area of the map at higher res, but what is the point if nothing on the map is legible?
