High resolution patch?

[CthuluIsSpy]

Is there a patch to play this at higher resolutions? I know about the ini trick but it messes up some of the screens and it still looks pretty bad at 1280*720, and is pretty small at 1920*1080 even though the sprites look nicer. The movies won't stretch either, which is weird because I recall being able to do that on the origin version.
I tried using CnCNet installer but my anti-virus doesn't like it.

What exactly do you want to get into high resolution?

I mean, the graphics in these games don't scale. Increasing the resolution won't make anything "more high-resolution"; there are no higher resolution versions of the game's graphics. It'll just make everything smaller, and show more of the play field.

All you can do is find a nice middle ground between "too blocky" and "too small".

I dunno, the sprites look nicer at 1920*1080 compared to 1280*720, its just everything is huge and the movies don't scale. I know about making it larger resolution, that's how I played it on the origin version and the CnC version of Tib Sun, but I was wondering if there's a better solution by now.

The only solution for what you're looking for would be for them to make actually higher resolution versions of absolutely all graphics in the game, including all terrain, and somehow modify the game engine to make the basic terrain cells use more pixels, too.

That's not something a fan-patch can do. The only way that'll happen is if it gets remastered.

On a 1080 P screen, something around 900P offers the best between unit visibility and zoomed out status.

On a 4K screen, 1080P is the best resolution to pick.

CnCNet is 100% safe.

Turn off your anti-virus for a bit.

Antiviruses these days are insanely paranoid, to the point of becoming useless. They'll literally mark something as a virus just because they don't know it.
