Panzer Leader Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I've been using 1152 x 864 all this time (it's good for my desktop) but was thinking I might try something else... What is the highest CMBB can support, and what do you think is a good res, higher (1600 x 1200?) or lower (800 x 600) My monitor is 20". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarze Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Since you have a large moniter why dont you try 1024x768 or 800x600 but really its your choice i would say the higher the better because higher resoul=higher res and details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfe Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Honestly, it's whatever res you feel most comfortable with. I like 1440x1080 on my 21" screen. I've tried 1600x1200, but text gets a bit too small. Lower resolutions are a bit grainy (pixels are too large) and objects aren't as well defined. Higher res makes edges look crisper and reduces texture shimmer (though only good AA can really get rid of it). Mainly I like 1440 because that's what I use for my desktop. On a 20" screen I'd definitely give atleast 1280x960 a try (23% more pixels over 1152; 1440x1080 is 56% more pixels). To define some of the more oddball resolutions (if your video card doesn't natively support them), Powerstrip can help. I think the game can go up as far as you can define resolutions for Direct-X. Which should be atleast 2048x1536. I can do 1800x1440 in CM with my monitor, but things are awfully small and that's only a 60Hz refresh rate. - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Panzer Boxb Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I run the game at 1600x1200 (PC) and 1600x1024 (Mac) on large LCD screens and the game looks absofrigginlutely beautiful with little stutter in large battles. Both systems used Nvidia GF4Ti4600 cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonp Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 How do you go about setting the resolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Originally posted by jonp: How do you go about setting the resolution?The first time you install it it will ask you to confirm a res. If you wish to reset it to another res you must manualy go in a delete a certain file which has currently escaped my mind. Anyone care to answer?

Barrold Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 jonp On a PC, go into control panel, display, settings. You will be able to move a slider to the desired resolution and apply it. I think you have to delete the CMBB preferences file and once you start the game the next time, it will go through the resolution setup procedure again. No idea about a Mac. Hope that helps BDH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Combat Mission Bynd Ovr Prefs is the name of the file you delete from the CMBO folder. This enables the option to re-set your screen resolution. I imagine CMBB is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtweasle Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I once resolved to get back down to 200 lbs, but I'm still about 225... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonp Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I realize how to set my computer resolution (I am using WinXP). I remember when I first ran CMBB it asked me for a resolution but I believe it was only 1024x768. How can I get it to do a higher resolution? Do I have to set my computer to a higher resolution and then it will default to that? I hope my machine can run higher (I have an Athlon 1900+ with 512 megs and a GeForce 4 4200 w/ 128 megs) Thx jonp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
