Klink Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 I was just curious what the recommended setting was, I use 1024 X 768 with no problems at all. The manual never really stated, what BTS thought should be recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEF BUNGIS Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 Klink; I play at 1024x768 too. I think the game looks good at that res. Runs good for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest highlife Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 I run at 1152x864 with good frame rate on a P3 850 w a GeForce 256. I was surprised at the slowdown I experienced at 1260x1040. It seems like a real turning point on my system to go beyond 1152x864 although I have a 21" flat display monitor that goes much higher. I guess I need a better video card. BTW, love your flags Klink!

jKMkIII Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 highlife, you had slowdown at 1260x1040 with P3 850 and Geforce 256? I play with 1600x1200 with dual Celeron 466@560 with TNT2 and haven't noticed any slowdowns.. perhaps we just have different levels what we think as slowdown ------------------ jK.MkIII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest highlife Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 jkMIII, Yeah, I was surprised too. I'm no expert on this stuff, but what I noticed at the higher res was a slight jerkiness when moving around the battlefield on anything other than a fairly small size battle. And of course, the more smoke and burning vehicles the more I noticed it. A recent good example was the "South of Sword" scenario. Maybe you could comment on 2 things I have thought of. One, I use 32 bit "true color" and the other is anti-aliasing. I use a low (2x2, low detail setting). Could either of those slow down the frame rate? I also use Desert fox's subdued Gunslinger grass and all the hi-res vehicles out. I switched back from Panzertruppen's buildings to Magua's because they seemed to add to the slowing.

I think I remember having an option to go up to 1024 x 768 during my initial installation, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to even test out other resolutions now once the game is installed.

Jarhead Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 Hi Jess. All you have to do is set the res on your desk top. Then launch the game. It will use whatever res you set up on the desk top. hhmm redundant I know... ------------------ Semper Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark IV Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 Err... you might need to delete your Combat Mission Prefs file first. Then set the new screen resolution, and launch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
