MFOS Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Hmmm. Nobody willing to help out on my last question. (Except Rob I think ...thanks!) Let us try another. I know how to change my resolution after a nice search, but what do you folks typically choose to play in? Reason I ask is my new laptop has a 1600 X 1200 deskyop resolution. SO, when I put BO and BB on it, it obviously was run at that resolution. I never even considered changing it. For the most part it runs really smooth and looks ... AMAZING. (I have an ATI 9000 mobility card with 64 megs ..wanted 128, but it wasn't an option at the time). Anyhow, I finally get around to putting them on my desktop at home, where the desktop is at 1240 X 768 or whatever that one is, and Thus I choose that resolution during setup. However, it clearly looks like a different game. Yet, I can tell a difference in speed especially during large battles. (Home Pc's vid card is a Hercules Gforce 3 TI500, that was top of the line not too long ago ...even mail ordered it becasue the local shops didn't carry it). So, the query is: What Resolution do you run in? My other specs if you are curious: Home: P4 1.8Ghz, 512 Megs DDR ram, Nice KDS 19" monitor...yada yada. Laptop: P4 2.0ghz, 512 Megs DDR ram, Most expensive LCD screen they had, yada yada. I actually prefer playing on the laptop, because I can get the higher Resolution, BUT those damned ATI cards don't show fog. Snow and rain looks a treat, but no fog. So waht resolutions do you folks typically play at? MFOS - Mouth Full of Spiders Ps. If any of you would be so kind, please go back a page or so, and see if you can help me out with my CMMOS questions. I bumped it once already to fish for some answers, but doing it twice is pretty bad karma. Peace 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Isenberg Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I believe what you need to do is delete the Combat mission BB perfs(perfernces)file its about 2kb then reset your screen res to the desired setting then restart the game the game then should ask you if you want that setting if not then just wait for the setting you want (it will cycle through them) I did it a few weeks ago I think you can try searching for it in the technical support forum 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFOS Posted January 28, 2003 Author Share Posted January 28, 2003 Uhm ....like I said: I know how to change resolution. A quick search gave me that info. I was just curious what resolution people tend to run their games in. Thanks for trying to help me out anyways. Any input is better than none.

Phantom Captain Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I run at 1024 x 768. Now you make me want to check out the higher resolution. Never tried anything else as that is what my desktop is set to. I'm sure I could run it at a higher resolution as well, I'm on a P4 1.7, 512 RAM, GeForce ti4400 with 128. Also on a 19" KDS. Just too lazy to reset all my preferences I guess, maybe I'll give it a go to see if there really is such a difference.

Soddball Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Whatever the highest res is. I play on a 17" Iiyama TFT monitor with a 128MB GF4 and it looks fantastic. The monitor's good enough that even playing Unreal Tournament I don't get any visible slow down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Murray Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Here's what I have: Dell Dimension 4500 P4 2.0 GHz, 64 MB Nvidia Geforce 4 MX 420 with TV out video card. I'm running both CMBB & CMBO at 1028x764. I was running them at 800x600 but I found that I got a funny looking " Christmas Tree " effect when I had the camera at certain heights & angles ( it would disappear when I moved the camera ). Both games look much better now. The only thing ( in CMBB ) that I have to do is if a scenario has a tremendous amount of trees, etc ( B&T Early Wittmann for example ) is reduce the tree coverage to sparse - moderate; otherwise the framerate will suffer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 i'm running at 1200 * 1000 (approx: i'm in work & can't check) on a 2.4G p4 with a 128M gf4600 ti on a 19" iiyama monitor. no problems really. just wanted to show off. do you think with the engine re-write they will stick with the symbolic representation of squads or will they attempt to represent each little fella? maybe with a toggle to go between sybolic & real? the processing power would seem to be available & it would look great.

Dschugaschwili Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I'm playing at 1152x864. My Duron 700, GeForce2 GTS 32MB, 384MB RAM system can handle this quite well. Perhaps I should try 1280x960 some time (according to my calculations that's the largest resolution that my 17" monitor can display physically).

Shatter Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 1280x1024 on 21inch monitor P4 2.1 ghz 384MG of Rambius RD Ram, video cards is a Geforce 4 Ti4600 128meg Ram. CMBB runs smoothly, only time I got some hesitation was when I set up a scenario to see what the max units allowed for CMBB is. CMBO never has ever hestitated. I tried 1600x1200 but CMBB took a performance hit on larger scenarios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esper Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 well my games are ordered.. but I've been playing the demos in 1024x768 just bumped it up to 1280x960 just to try it out.. menus seem a little small for me.. since I am using a 17" My monitor is like the only thing I haven't gotten around to upgrading in years(at least 4) Currently running a AMD 1.5 with 1gb of mem and a Geforce 4 TI 4600. Hopefully going to up to a 19 or 21 soon Oh and Hi.. I guess this is my "Hello I am new around here" post as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Petersson Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I've got the same experience as Esper. With higher resolution than 1024x768 on a 17" CRT monitor the text and most other stuff get too small for my liking. Cheers Olle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
