I'm running Windows 11 Pro on a 4k monitor set to native resolution 3840x2160 at 200% scale. On all other SC games, the settings on the initial play screen correctly read a resolution of 3840x2160 with 200% scale detection. With initial release version 1.00.00 of War in the Pacific, the settings read an incorrect resolution of 2560x2048 with 200% scale detection. And yet, the SC3.ini correctly reads just like all other SC games:

#ORIGINAL_SCREEN_WIDTH= 1920
#ORIGINAL_SCREEN_HEIGHT= 1080
#WINDOW_WIDTH= 1920
#WINDOW_HEIGHT= 1080
#BIT_DEPTH= 32
#WINDOWED_MODE= 0

The actual real resolution plays as expected, so it appears to be a misreading on the initial play screen settings where it (incorrectly) reads a resolution of 2560x2048. Changing it to 3840x2160 makes no difference, it goes back to misread 2560x2048, but this happens only with War in the Pacific 1.00.00. Thought to bring it to the attention of the devs.

For me with 2k and 125% Desktop...

#ORIGINAL_SCREEN_WIDTH= 2048
#ORIGINAL_SCREEN_HEIGHT= 1152
#WINDOW_WIDTH= 2048
#WINDOW_HEIGHT= 1152
#BIT_DEPTH= 32
#WINDOWED_MODE= 0

Thanks, there is an issue with the displayed resolution in the SETTINGS screen, e.g. this is just what is given as feedback to the player, but indeed the data from the SC3.ini file is correct which is what the game reads from when launching the game window.

The displayed (feedback) resolution in the SETTINGS screen will be fixed for the first patch, e.g. in this case it will now show 3840x2160 with the 200% scaling as it does for the other games.

Thank you, Herbert. Yes, exactly: the game resolution plays correctly, it’s only an issue of misreading in the settings panel. Beautiful map of the Pacific Theatre, by the way!

Great, really glad to hear you like the map!
