Supported Screen Resolution

February 28, 2008 8:57 PM from

I'm currently on a 1280x1024 monitor and thinking about upgrading to a wide screen 1680x1050 monitor. Does the game support this resolution? Thanks.

I believe the game can support any resolution you can run. If for some reason the one you want isn't in the in-game dropdown you just have to set it in the prefs.ini. For one of my monitors I had to do that because it wasn't showing as an option in game.

I have a 22" monitor that I recently bought (Christmas present to myself), and it's native resolution is 1680x1050. The game runs just fine, and the extra screen real estate is a real bonus on those large maps.

Yes.
I am running at 1680x1050 on my SyncMaster 226BW.

If the Options/Video screen does not give you that option you can manually edit the Prefs.ini file.

Make sure you install the correct driver for your monitor.

Thanks for the confirmation. I figured the game would support it, just wanted to make sure.
