Is 800x600 the only allowed resolution?

For all things AoS!

Is 800x600 the only allowed resolution?

Postby DynomicPierre » Thu Mar 15, 2012 12:44 am

My computer resolution is 1366x768, but AoS gives me a DirectDraw issue. In addition it also makes ll my weapon looks long and stupidly made. Playing it in windowed mode fixes the issue but playing it is quite strange because my toolbar and window bar on top obscures the screen.

Any solutions?

Play on full screen and set resolution to 800x600 on config.
To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

I have the same resolution, but when I set it to 1366x768, it automatically resizes to a smaller resolution. I think it was 1280x1024 I think.

my resolution is 1440x900, and that doesn't really work windowed either, so I just use 1024x768 and it is good.

I always run the game fullscreen in 800x600, since the game crashes when I select 1440x900, my monitor resolution.

I think the ratio has to be 4:3

I put the resolution on 1366x768, and after the error I get it resets the resolution to 1280x800 (if I recall correctly) and I still get the error.

I have a 2560x1440 screen. I was so happy with my monitor until I learned AoS refuses to meet me even half way with the resolution.
A) I can play full screen and deal with scaling, alignment (part of the image is off the screen) and distortion issues, or
B) I play as I do now, max res (1280x960) windows, a little 9 inch screen.
when i has a Sega Dreamcast (the only console I ever owned) I though playing on a 13" was bad...

I think the resolution limitation is to prevent people from having an unfair advantage- people with larger screens would see more than ppl with small screens, but in my case the windowed size is so small I'm at a significant disadvantage. My table isn't big enough for another monitor and I kinda wiped my savings account with this 30" monster...

from past experience, especially with the limited graphics capabilities of laptops, there's alot of display resolutions that's not supposed by your computer, if you force a resolution that's not supported you'll get an error or a blank screen.

So be glad you have 800x600. at least you can see...
