Mac Resolution fix (no 3D card).

[Guest Chris B]

Ever since I got Combat Mission I have had problems with the resolution. I do not have a 3D card and this is probably the reason. CM would always switch to 640x480 if possible. CM 1.0 would in addition mess up my desktop. This latter part was partially fixed in 1.01. Now the desktop only gets messed up if I had precviously used the 640x480 resolution since starting up.

This latter part is weird. If I start another program that switches to 640x480 and then quit that program, my desktop is ok - in fact very few programs mess up the desktop nowadays - but starting CM after that and CM would mess up the desktop.

Problem: Getting 640x480 and not more when playing on a non 3D equipped Mac. Messing up desktop.

THE FIX: Switchres 2.4. Find it at: http://www.madrau.com/index.html

Operation:

Open prefs, applications, add Combat Mission. Set

"When this application requires a resolution change"

to "Change only color settings" i.e. disallow stupid CM from changing resolution.

Now I can play in glorious 832x624, no problems. But why should I have to get a shareware program to fix a bug/oversight in CM?
