André Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Hi there Ok, here is the problem: I want to play the game in 1600x1200 instead of the regular 1280x1024 that I normally use. I delete the prefs file and fire up CM. It asks me to accept the new resolution(1600x1200) and I do. The game look sweet and everything is cool. The problem is that I do not want to use 1600x1200 as my default windows resolution. My monitor doesnt perform very well at this high resolution. In the game this is not an issue, but in 2D it is. So I switch back to 1280x1024 in Windows. Thats no problem I think, cause CM has saved my previous resolution settings(1600x1200). So I fire up CM with my default Windows resoltion of 1280x1024. Guess what happens? It asks me to accept 1280x1024 as the CM resolution. Argh, why didnt it remember that I selected 1600x1200 as my CM resolution? If change my Windows resolution back to 1600x1200 and fire up CM, it doesnt ask me to accept any new settings. I have to delete the prefs file to apply the higher resolution. Is there some way to "save" the 1600x1200 resolution inside CM, and still use 1280x1024 as my default Windows resolution?

Schrullenhaft Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no way to have a higher resolution set for CM and to have the desktop operate at a lower resolution. There is an utility that was mentioned on this board last year that people used (on the PC) that would allow for switching resolutions between the game and desktop. QuickRes (I can't remember exactly) ? I believe it is a piece of shareware, but I don't know if it has any incompatibility issues or not with certain OS's or video cards: QRes: http://www.berend.com/qres.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norgoth Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 Sorry about the newbie question guys, but how do you change the resolution you play the game in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Posted June 14, 2001 Author Share Posted June 14, 2001 Norgoth: Delete the file called "Combat Mission Bynd Ovr Prefs" and start up the game again. It will then switch to the resolution you use on your desktop. Heinz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
