Widescreen ?

Olive · #1 December 11th, 2006, 12:17 PM

Hi,

I've changed my old fullscreen lcd for a widescreen one. But I don't see any option to turn the game to widescreen. I can turn res to 1650*1080, it's OK, but the picture is horizontally stretched. Any option to fix this ? Maybe a command-line parameter ?

Yeah, this problem is annoying...

I would like to see this too. I run 1920x1200 on my laptop.

Same here!

Use "-r 1920 1200" for example to set the [r]esolution to 1920x1200. This is a command-line switch; the exact way to use it varies by operating system. Windows you make a link to the .exe and append the switch in the properties window of the link; on my Mac I start the game with an applescript that looks like:
do shell script "cd ~/Desktop/Dominions' '3/Dominions3.app/Contents/Resources/; ../MacOS/Dominions3 -r 1920 1200"
and if you're using Linux, you probably know how to use a command-line switch.

Aha, will try that. Thanks.

To find the option in the game:

Preferences -> Video preferences -> click on Fullscreen Resolution -> Choose your new Resolution (in your case 1680x1050)
