Patch 3 widescreen issue...

[Nemo121]

Well, I have the patch installed and I recreated my shortcut.

The command line in the shortcut is.... "C:\Games\Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -px1650 -py1050

I also disabled my 2nd monitor to ensure that wasn't an issue. I am running 64 bit Windows Vista and have a 1GB GTX285 card.

The game still runs fine, just looks like 1024 x 768 on full screen, not 1650 x 1050.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

My setup has a resolution of 1680x1050 but not 1650x1050. You must use a valid resolution.

Try 1680 x 1050 which is a standard screen resolution.

Anything else will default back to the old window size.


Edit: Too slow.....

LOL! So, it was something simple.

Thanks guys, that solved the problem, I misremembered my maximum resolution. I've just run the game in widescreen for the first time and I have to say, it makes one hell of a difference. The greater vista available really changes one's sense of scale.

For me it's doesn't work too ... I am in 1366 x 768 ... I am very disapointed ... What can i do ? Wait another patch ???

from the Official Patch 3 readme file:

To have any effect x must be greater than 1024 and y must be greater than 768. If values less than or equal to px=1024 and py=768 are used the original values of 1024 and 768 will be substituted.

The developers have said that at this stage there no plans to change this. (I suspect it may be a technical limitation).

I cannot get widescreen to work since reinstalling windows 7.
It is very small and difficult to read.

I am using command line

"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -px1920 –py1080

I have a nividia graphics card which is working fine in all other applications.

That depends. On my machine, I could set 1920x1200 since that was a standard resolution. I couldn't, however, set anything smaller without it resetting to the default resolution.

That was until I found out that I could add "new resolutions" via the nVidia control panel. After I did that, everything that I've tried works. I now run the game at 1440x900 which still gives good overview, but doesn't become "to small".

Do you have something similar to the nVidia control panel on your computer?

looks like you have two different size dashes
