Screen resolution

Gary Grigsby’s World at War is back with a whole new set of features. World at War: A World Divided still gives complete control over the production, research and military strategy for your side, but in this new updated version you’ll also be able to bring spies into the mix as well as neutral country diplomacy, variable political events and much more. Perhaps the largest item is the ability to play a special Soviet vs. Allies scenario that occurs after the end of World War II.

Screen resolution

Post by smittyohio90 »

Is there a way to change the screen resolution in full screen mode? I'm playing on a LCD monitor with a native resolution of 1280x1024, and it appears the game is defaulting to 1024x768 or something, which results in slightly blurry presentation.

You can either set the game to run in "windowed" mode or you should check your monitor or graphic card driver’s preferences for options on how to set the aspect ratio of applications. Usually these aspect ratios are called “full screen”, “1:1”, fixed ratio” etc. These names may vary based on the brand and type of your monitor. Also check your graphic card driver for such preferences. It should be in the manual for your LCD too.

Thanks for the response, but I guess I don't see how this allows me to change the resolution of WaW to 1280x1024. Is this possible? I can certainly try to make it more clear at 1024x768, but I'd rather play at the monitor's native resolution if possible.

Thanks

AWD only supports 1024x768.

Interestingly, it runs in windowed mode by default for me.  That's fine with me; I'm on a widescreen monitor, so I need the window.  Is windowed mode the default?

Yes, windowed mode is default.
 
In full screen mode some computers experience problems alt-tabbing - so its "safer" running in windowed mode.
