Will this affect windowed mode to?

I hope 1920x1080 is supported in windoed mode.

1920x1080 for me too!

Currently using 1440x0900...[:)]

It looks as if the AE team is enjoying torturing us. [:-] [;)]

Arghhhh........

Just roll out the patch already!!!! [:'(]

Ahha, so it's not autodetect but we can manually select the resolution from predefined settings (judging from treespider's screenshot)?

The waiting is the hard part!

Sorry I have some AI tests to run on the new patch so it will be a while yet
 
It takes a long time to get even AI v AI games out to 44 but I would rather not release a patch without proper testing !!!

I'm a 1920x1200 computer-savvy laptop user in the Middle East with too much free time lately, if you need some help... NDA okay

Edit: Also willing to donate 8x non-virtual CPU cores worth of overnight/all day AI vs AI tests, if that is what's needed. I run Windows 7.

Sorry I only know my own bit of the testing thats going on on the patch.
 
I know others atre testing other bits as well we are going as always as fast as we can.
 
 

If the patch will enable scaling up to widescreen, will it also enable scaling down to, say, 1024x600, like for some netbooks?

no

no

Hate to bombard you with these types of questions, but will 1280 x 800 be an option? [;)]

To use high res I set up two new cmd line switches –pxnnnn and –pynnnn (ex. On my machine for full screen I use –px1920 –py1200 and for windowed I use –px1680 –py1050 so that the window is within desktop).
Px must be greater than 1024 AND py must be greater than 768 to use new code otherwise we use the old code setup,
I know there are some lap tops with wide res but with low height(<=768) so they will continue to use old code.
There is one small caveat when playing small map scenarios, if your res is greater than size of map then selecting bases
is a bit of problem because the code tries to reset view based on selection so your options are make either
map sz extents bigger (ie more margin around bases close to edge) or reduce your res.
I noticed this when trying to play Coral Sea.
Spanning mode is not supported and user should ensure that both the video adapter and monitor support the px and py values.

Most excellent implementation of this much anticipated feature! Now I can't wait for the patch. I like it when each new patch contains "must have" features!

Excellent work.

This looks absolutely fantastic. Kudoes for even attempting this, guys! [&o][&o][&o]

Yes GJ! I thought this was not possible but Im happy to be proven wrong.&nbsp;[:D]

Wooow!! Looks superb.

I can't wait to try -px2560 -py1600 on my 30" monitor, lets hope it works.

Hello World! I have had the pleasure of a little down time and I went to revisit the latest patch for this great game in the hopes of getting my Hanns-G HG281D monitor to show WItp in glorious wide screen. The problem is it appears to be defaulting to the old resolution, even with the Quick start -f -px1920- py1200. I tried resizing the window mode as well and that doesn't work either. Can one of you fine gents clue me in? there must be something I'm doing off on the Target label. The funny thing is on my widescreen lappy the screen is cropped on the edges to give the proper rez albeit minus the wide screen, but on my desktop the game is stretched to the edges, stretched is the operative word here. Any help would be much appreciated.

Whoops answered my own question, Got my monitor's Rez settings typed in wrong, they were 1920x1200 rather than 1900x1200. Hope that helps someone who overlooks the obvious, like me. Looks NICE now!
