PanzerSmash Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I just purchased and installed a flashy new GeForce GTX 260 and, to my surprise, CMBB runs flawlessly. :eek: (Well.. almost...) The only problem is that I'm using a wide-screen Seanix LCD monitor and as a result- the game suffers from "jaggies." My question is.. how can I adjust my video card to not scale to the 1280 x 1024 resolution when I run CMBB? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerSmash Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Also, I don't see any options regarding scaling in the nVidia Control Panel application, and I do have the latest driver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panama Red Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I suspect that if you delete the current Combat Mission BB Prefs file and then start CMBB so it recreats a new Combat Mission BB Prefs file (then pick the resolution that you want). On my PC, it always started with the highest resolution and worked down, so you might have to move through several resolutions before you find one that you like. Just remember, if you do not like that one, blow away the Combat Mission BB Prefs file and start again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallern Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hello, I'm in the same situation as PanzerSmash, but my copy of CM:BB doesn't go beyond the 1280 x 1024 resolution, even when I delete the prefs file. I run under 1680 x 1050 on my widescreen and I'm struggling to find a way to scale the game correctly or run it windowed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 You can set this both in the monitor's menu and in NVidia's drivers (you might have to click through a couple of "advanced" menu levels). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run under 1680 x 1050 on my widescreen and I'm struggling to find a way to scale the game correctly or run it windowed. This is normal, you can't go beyong 1600 vertical, so 1680x1050 isn't going to work and 1280x1024 is the next standard resolution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel J Lee Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Redwolf, I just hooked up a new 19" wide screen LCD (Acer) to my computer. The combat mission vehicles look slightly "stretched" (i.e., the Shermans look longer and lower and so do all the other vehicles). It's not really bad, but I had a perfect situation with my square 17" Sceptre. I thought it would be an upgrade to have this 19" wide Acer. My current display setting is 1024x768. I have a GeForce 7600GT card and the graphics are crystal clear, but.......I have tried different display settings and can't seem to get the right (near perfect) look of the units. Any clue on what I can do to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 You can tell the monitor to leave black stripes instead of scratching. You can make this setting both in the on-screen menus and in the NVidia driver's control panel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel J Lee Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yikes, I could not find anything under "Display" in the NVidia driver's control panel except a drop-down that read, "identify profile" which, when selected, gave me a black screen with a big number 1 on it. I can't see options for scaling anywhere. Frustrating. Redwolf, I'm not a geek with computers, so maybe you could give the steps for both options? I would GREATLY appreciate it. I would hate to return the monitor because it doesn't work with combat mission. I suspect it's a user problem! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel J Lee Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 CORRECTION: the "display" tab on the menu bar under the display category does NOT read "identify profile" but rather "identify display". I need to figure out if my GeForce 7600 GT is compatible with a widescreen (for 'native resolution') according to another web site. PLEASE HELP! Thanks much! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 You need the advanced options, not just the tab. I never ran XP myself, some of the actual Windows weenies might be more helpful than me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
