Volstag Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 I noticed from another thread that people, apparently, can change the resolution at which CM runs. I went over the manual and game menus last night but couldn't find any mention of it. I tried to perform a search (on this board) but it kept timing-out on me... So... sorry if this is a RTFM or FAQ type question, but can someone explain to me how you go about doing this? Later, Volstag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Williams Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 Volstag, Go to the CMBO directory and delete the "prefs" file. When you restart CM, you will be able to change resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try smoking it and see what happens. Thanks! Later, Volstag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Olesen Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 There is another trick to this, when running on a PC. I use a freeware program called QRes: http://www.berend.com/qres.html It allows you to set the screen resolution for a shortcut. This way I can run CMBO in 1280x1024 while my usual resolution is 1152x864. It also allows you to change the color depth, which is useful for some games.
