How to get fullscreen

[mattygwright]

Hey,
I was just wondering if anyone could help me get this game a bit larger? I love it but it is maybe at best 240x300 or something. takes up 1/8 of my screen.
any help?

in the opttions menu you can choose "size" , and make it bigger. can't get any bigger then that I'm affraid. but making it bigger doubled the size for me, so I'm fine with that

[mattygwright]

i ended up messing with the config file it was set at 800x600 so just changed that to 1920x1080 and it is fine now

What setting did you change? I tried in the base/wolf3D/Conf file, but it didn't work.

[mattygwright]

open wolf3d.conf in Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Wolfenstein3d/base
Open this file using notepad
See where it says fullresolution=1920x1080 just change that to what ever your monitor/tv's resolution is at

That is the one I changed, it had no effect. I was hoping I just had the wrong file. I wonder why it works for you, but not for me?

try alt+enter? strangely enough, sometimes when I switch between the game and desktop it also shrinks to the size you're mentioning. Then I just make sure the window is active and try the simple alt+enter and boom, full screen again... :s lame solution, not sure if it will work for you, but hey, no harm in trying eh ;)

[js51472]

That didn't do it either, it's still only doing 800x600.

[Aartsbok]

crap. Did you set the full screen option at the very first screen the game gives you? its like a "light" you have to click active

[js51472]

I only have 5 options on that screen, no fullscreen. To be clear, do you have the game taking up your whole screen, with no black bars/wasted space?

[Aartsbok]

yes, I have the game completely full screen

[Aartsbok]

only a very tiny grey edge around the game screen.

[Aartsbok]

Perhaps try this? http://newwolf.sourceforge.net/

Even has in game mapscreen and stuff, supports higher resolutions, great sourceport. Images are smootet up and look more like the atari jaguar version.

I'll check out that site. I have a few more questions: Have you changed anything else? Are you running as administrator or in compatibility mode? Are you on W7 64 bit? Thank you both for trying to help me.

[Aartsbok]

I'm on win 7 x64 indeed. I didn't change anything else. I even have full screen when I don't change the cfg file and it still stands on 800x600, it's just upscaled then. in your case, do you have full screen of game but only a tiny playfield? or do you just have a small window?

I'm not in compatibility mode or anything like that, since it's in dosbox there's no need for such.
