Resolution

[Darkurthe]

Is there a way to adjust the resolution to something like Escape From The Pit?

Giving this a bump, 'cos I would like to know too. First time I ran it I saw some resolution options which I ignored (til I see how game looks) and now I don't get any prompt to set them to what I want. Preferences is set to prompt for resolution, and asks me if I want to change it (gives, me no, yes, always, never choices) but then selects whatever it wants lol.

Game is too tiny for me! Even in full screen mode.

Nerp. Have given up. Don't want to change my display settings in control panel every time I want to play and the default the game seems to give me is 1280x800 which still looks too unpleasant for me.

I hope Jeff re-invigorates this one as he did for Avernum: EftP, because he writes great story lines and this one intrigued me but I can't get past the res :<

Darn I was hoping someone would have some luck.

Unfortunately, no. Which is a damn shame because this is my favorite Spiderweb game. Never could finish it because it hasn't aged well at all. Hope Vogel gives it the same treatment he did Avernum sometime in the future. Although I doubt it.

Don't know if this will give you what you want, but even if you select "ask at startup" in Options, you are not asked and the result is a very tiny game world in a letterbox. There was one other SW game that does the same thing (maybe the Avernum remake). The only solution I know of to make the game occupy the entire screen is to go to the executable, rt click, select properties, and set the game to run in 640x480 screen rez. That works for this and for the other game where I had the same problem. Otherwise the game is just too small to be playable, at least for me...

That was super useful. Thanks misterbill5.

My pleasure! Glad I was able to help...

For me, the game was too "big" in this resolution, so after you set the game to "run in 640x480" (in "Properties" directly into the steam folder), i launch the game, load a save file, go into "Preferences", select the option "ask at startup resolution", restart the game, choose "Always change resolution", and tada it was exactly perfect fit !

Thanks for the tips. Finally, the game becomes playable.

Original settings make the window and characters too small on my big screen.
