Request: Native support for different aspect ratio's and resolutions

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hello again!

This is just those basic things that need to be in the game.
We need different aspect ratio supports be available in the game.

I believe i'm not the only one who has 21:9 (2560x1080) monitor these days, and without natural support, custom resolutions can be annoying.

So please Stardock, include natural support for widescreens and 4k monitors with different aspect ratio's. Thank you :)

And here is a need that may make TweetyLeaf's request easier.

I prefer playing games in windowed mode, leaving room to view my sidebar and task bar, and sometimes, some of the icons on an edge of my desktop. Having fixed resolution sizes to choose from tends to be clumsy and unsatisfactory in attempting these desires. Instead, for windowed mode, can we just move the window edges without changing the apparent zoom distance? No need to zoom in or out as a compensation for a change in the window boundaries, as long as we are able to zoom for ourselves when we want to.

Then, for fullscreen mode, why not just pick up the current screen size and resolution as a default as long as the GPU can support it without overheating, and provide some alternate sizes and resolutions if they need them.

Stardock has a pretty good history of supporting bizarro land resolutions so I'd imagine you'd be covered

Resolution will not be limited on the the game side, if your video card can push 4k you will be good to go. The UI will have several scale modes to make sure it stays crisp and clean even on crazy Retina like displays, we want to make sure the game is as future proof as possible.

The one thing I actually asked and you fucked it up. The diplomacy screen does not scale to 21:9 monitors.

It's very, very hard to say anything nice about this or be constructive and helpful for you guys.
FIX IT.

I found a solution to this, now i just would need someone to do a little mod for me because im not familiar with modding at all.

If you change all race's background image to pictures and not video, the game stretches the background and diplomacy trade screen is usable and clear after that.

PLEASE someone do this for me? or tell me how to do it myself ?

I just made copy of the existing races ingame and changed their background and now i need to start a new game.

However,fix needs to be applied to the next patch because in multiplayer i would again get the same problem.
