Changing resolution

Battles In Normandy is the third game in the Decisive Battles game series. Battles in Normandy recreates all aspects of the Normandy campaign, from the landings on the first day to the final climax of the campaign at Falaise. Strategic Studies Group rewrote the Decisive Battles game engine for Battles in Normandy with a host of new special rules for amphibious and airborne operations, plus a huge number of other enhancements.

Changing resolution

Post by Althered »

Hi
I bought Battles in Normandy a few days ago and feel a little disappointed. Not with the game , but the resolution it runs in. My LCD monitor supports a minimum resolution of 800*600 but the program will only run in 2 higher resolutions by default. The units are much too small and text very hard to read and i would definately prefer 800*600.
Does anyone know how force the game to run in 800*600?
Any help much appreciated . Al .

This is question AlexS will have to address most likely (think settings and drivers can usually be adjusted)... to the best of my knowledge there is not a way to get 800x600.

Althered,
BIN supports 1024x768 and 1280x1024 mode resolutions only. If you are finding things hard to see, you can use the alt key to bring up a magnifying glass which will magnify sections of the screen.

Al,

We can't support 800*600 as a resolution, as it just doesn't have enough screen real estate to fit the interface as it has been designed. Strategy games like BiN require substantial amounts of space for this purpose and we can't squeeze what we need back down to the smaller resolution without a total redesign of the interface, which just isn't a practical proposition.
