Thread: Technical (monitors/resolution)

  1. #1

    Question Technical (monitors/resolution)

    Will there be added higher resolutions for widescreen ?

    Highest at the moment is 1440*900*32

    1680*1050*32 would be nice (or even 1920*1200*32)

    1680*1050 does already work. Want a proof? Count the pixels in the screenshot

    In fact, AO is one of the more exotic-resolution friendly programs (in my experience)

    Its more probable that resolution is the one who is suppored as max, by your own monitor.

    Maybe... but I don't think so... I don't have a widescreen monitor... But i am getting one within two weeks, and the optimal resolution for that one is 1680*1050 so... Do that mean I will be able to run that resolution in AO too ? (Graphics card is not a problem atm (got x850xt pe))

    Most likely, AO can run in more or less any resolution in my experience, as long as your monitor supports it.

    Hmm, wonder how I have been able to play at that resolution for over a year and a half now

    AO HAVE to run the same resolution ur monitor can, as to run in window mode, so if ur monitor/gfx support a givend resolution AO do it also.

    And yes it will also run in 1920x1200

    Any way to set your own window size when running windowed mode ? As atm I can select between 1600x1200 and 1280x1024 (and of course lower resolutions) for my 1600x1200 monitor. I would really like something in between.

    There are various programs that can create custom resolutions for you (like Powerstrip, though I'm sure there's free ones too and some drivers allow it too), just google some. There's also a registry hack that allows you to do it clicky.

    The text was the reason I took the screenshot - so, yes, I noticed.

    1920*1200 "works" but you get a stretched picture. At least I do.

    It's the the name of the mob that was in the target and appeared after some switching-to-desktop-and-back actions.

    At first, I thought it was a very cool announcement of an event...

    (and yes, I use an ATI card)

    i got a wide screen to, but do not get the option to chose a wide screen resolution...
    for some reason only weird resolutions are in my screen setup.

    for example:
    1920x600
    1600x600

    i want 1440x900 but can't select it.
    any suggestions on how to select it?

    Just as a side issue what would be really useful not only to those without widescreen, would be to run a second monitor that was dedicated to all utility windows... in effect making the main window one big beautiful picture uncluttered by inventory, chat or info windows all of which now come up on a second monitor.

    Just a thought.
