sapiens74 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Just picked this game up and the Max Res I get to choose from is 1280 x 960 Since I have a LCD this doesn't look as good as it would at 1280 x 1024 ANyone know what to edit to manually enter the res? Share this post Link to post
Mr.Guvernment 0 Posted February 13, 2003 no clue - but i noticed that as well, why the heck would they choose an off res? vewy vewy verid! Share this post Link to post
adamvjackson 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Actually, 1280x960 is a 'proper' resolution. By that, I mean a 4:3 ratio, like 640x480, 800x600, 1280x960, 1600x1200, etc. Not really sure why 1280x1024 really took off, as that is really the oddball... And yes, I run my desktop at 1280x1024... You might be able to adjust the resolution with a third party app to fit your screen better... Also, as was stated in a thread a few days ago, if the screen is off-center in a certian resolution, try changing refresh rates. P.S. How is Generals? Thinking about buying that this weekend.

Mr.Guvernment 0 Posted February 13, 2003 yeah it is definetly good - but am starting to get bored of it already same ol thing - just prettier graphics. but kick'n the GLS ass is fun with china or the us - drop a nice big fat nuke - or use the partical cannon!! i usually build about 5 of them, then all at once BAM! and do a a-10 fly over as well Share this post Link to post
adamvjackson 0 Posted February 13, 2003 The only RTS game that I really enjoy (still...) is Age of Empires 2... Any thoughts on how it compares? Share this post Link to post
sapiens74 0 Posted February 13, 2003 A little more fast paced but it is fun with the unique units each side has. I found the fix, You have to edit the options.ini that they put in your My Documents folder Share this post Link to post
adamvjackson 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Good deal, so I'm sure it looks much better at the correct resolution? Thanks for letting us know the fix. Share this post Link to post
Grifta 0 Posted February 14, 2003 8) OK, if you really like AoE 2 get Age of Mythology..SOO good. for about the first 2 or 3 days that I was playing it I was actually going around saying "RARRR"...man those hydras aren't very good game-wise, but they're funn as all hell. And the picking up and the throwing...hehe.. Sorry, I just started playing it again.. Share this post Link to post
sapiens74 0 Posted February 14, 2003 The Servers are a bit overburdened now tho, and quite slow, plus some firewall issues that you may have to deal with , but I made Captain already 18-0, waiting for my first loss Share this post Link to post

gilgamesh 0 Posted March 11, 2003 adamvjackson, Age of Empires 2 is soo much better than CnC: Generals. Generals is the same RTS theyve been pushing since the original CnC. Westwood has no clue how to innovate gameplay. They simply upgrade the graphics and think its a new game. AOE2, now thats an RTS. Share this post Link to post
