SEV screen resolution options? |
I tried making a bigger screen resolution (1280x1024 I think) and all it did was make a smaller 'window' in a bigger black screen. Sure the pixels were smaller, but I was thinking this would 'fill' the screen...
Is there a max screen size or something?
Thanks,

I don't have any problems
I don't have any problems playing in full screen mode at 1600x1200 or 1280x1024. As someone else stated, if you play in windowed mode the screen will always be 1024x768 (I sure wish you could change that).
Are your vid drivers up to date? How 'bout your direct x?
MS just released a direct x patch a couple weeks ago, but it doesn't seem to have any impact on this game. Nvidia releases new vid drivers almost every month.
I do not play in windowed
I do not play in windowed mode and I know what the Original Poster is talking about: when I set my resolution to my native desktop resolution (1280x1024) all that happens is that the game appears in the center of the screen (full screen) with large black borders around the edge. It seems the game is defaulting to 1024x768 within full screen mode - and filling the 'extra' space with black.
I did not update any DirectX past the last full release of 9; my video drivers are as up to date as necessary (Catalyst 6.6 - 6.7+ do not change much or increase performance for me)

Decrease colour depth?
Strange...
I'm playing with a screen resolution of 1280x1024 and the game fill the screen with no black border whatsoever...
Same here.
I also play at 1280x1024 and the game displays in fullscreen.
I will try decreasing the
I will try decreasing the color depth, but I fear it will make the game look a little bleh - and I really don't see how the resolution & color depth could be linked. It is kind of odd that others can run that resolution with no problem, could it be that I am running it on an LCD?

Nope
I'm running it on my 19' LCD, 1280x1024, no problem.

What video card? Could it have something to do with ATI versus nVidea or something? I have an ATI Radeon X600

Nvidia
Nvidia 7600, so that might be part of it.
I have a CRT as well. You want to talk monsters, go harass it.

Screen Res. options
Windowed mode always does 1024x768, but the other allowed modes should match what your computer is capable of displaying.
