DaddyO Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I recently acquired a widescreen monitor. It appears the only setting available in options that makes sense is "Desktop." When I start a game it fills the whole screen. Does this mean I'm getting video that is stretched width-wise, or am I seeing more terrain than I otherwise would? I can't tell (yes, I'm blind), but it looks to me like nothing is stretched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 You should be able to get the correct dimensions of onscreen units in widescreen. However, you may have to play around with the numbers inside the "display size.txt" file in your main game folder. I think I use "1920 1200 0". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 You are seeing more terrain. If you're playing someone without a widescreen monitor, you have an advantage with your expanded peripheral vision. To stay fair, you should cover the sides of your monitor with tape. Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyO Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 's okay, C3PO, I mean C3k (just a friendly kibbitz), I only play solo. I know, I know, real men only play HTH or PBEM, but I make no pretense of being a real man anyway! Thanks for the info, guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
