Any way to increase resolution?

[Edmond Dantes]

Max resolution appears to be 1280 X 1024 (or whatever). Is there a mod that allows higher resolutions? I tried the NWP one and that doesn't seem to include that. Thanks.

how did you set FC for 1280x1024, I only have options for the lowest resolution of 1024x 680.

It's driver dependent, on my system the max is 1600x1200

Use Nglide, it's a pretty good 3dfx emulator and it supports resolutions up to 7680x4320 !
I got Fleet Command running at 1920X1200 without any issues.

You really should give it a go. Hope that helps.

I'm interested to know how you achived that resolution with Nglide. Highest I get with it is 1024 x 768. In DX mode I get 1600 x 1200. Please share what you configured. Thanks.

Well, all I had to do was create custom resolutions with my graphic card (downsampling), then I selected the desired resolution in the nglide configurator ie : 1920x1200 and that was it.

Now, while in game, the UI doesn't scale to the new resolution and I think that's a blessing (reading the instructions would be a nightmare in such a high resolution), but the 3d objects and the 2 maps definitely do !

After reading your message, I launched the game and cranked up my resolution to 3840x1260 and it works (picture is a little too streched for my taste but you can use the 4:3 option in the nglide configurator). 1920x1200 is definitely better as it maintains a better aspect ratio for the game.

I guess the key step here is creating custom resolutions (downsampling) for your monitor before launching the game.
I have an nvidia card so it's quite easy to achieve (I don"t know about amd card, but I don't see why it wouldn't work).
Maybe DSR with an nvidia card could be of use, but I didn't try for I'm quite happy with my current results.

Hope this helps.

Some random screens at the top of my screenshots gallery; if you click them, you'll see they display perfectly in 1920x1200 :

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'm out of luck as I have an AMD. No setting like that. Would have loved to run it an 1920x1200.

You're welcome !
Are you sure this can't be achieved via an AMD card, though ? I think you can downsample since late december (Catalyst Omega drivers) by using VSR (Virtual Super Resolution).

Good luck.

Well, here's what I've done :

My card is a 970 GTX Nvidia and I've got a 27'' monitor.

1. Create a custom resolution of 1920x1200 via the Nvidia Control Pannel.

2. Setup in Nglide : resolution '1920X1200' (or 3840x1260) and 'fit to screen' selected.

3. In the Nvidia CP : select 'Adjust desktop size and position' and select 'aspect ratio' for the scaling mode, then choose 'GPU' for 'Perform scaling on'. Last, check 'override the scaling mode set by game and programs'.

4. launch the game.


You should be good to go. Use the same process for 3840x1260.

Keep in mind that you'll stiil have some tiny black borders on each side of your screen, but that's hardly an issue. The aspect ratio is also not totally a 100% perfect, but I find it quite sufficient.
As I've mentionned in my previous post, the UI doesn"t scale back to the downsampled resolution, but the graphics in the 3D view are definitely at 1920x1200 or 3840x1260.

If you check this screenshot in fullscreen mode, you'll notice it is a high res picture : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=429265395
This is a direct capture via steam, the picture hasn't been tampered with in any way.

Hope that helps.

I'm kinda busy, but if I have some time on my hands, I'll try to do a YT video.

No apologies needed, really. Your posts were perfectly civil and I understand your doubts.

I've some history with trying to find tweaks for great ol' games (specially at Simhq.com with sims such as Jane's F-15, Jane's USAF, and Jane's F/A-18 - my other pseudo is Andromedius)

I stumbled on this solution with a mix of curiosity and some trial and error. I'd like to post this solution on your forum but I don't have the url. I have no problem with you posting it if you want to. The way I see it, we, lovers of great games, must pull together to keep them alive and kickin'.
As for the video, I'll do one at the end of the week. I'll keep you posted.

Regards.

I was only able to get this working at 1600x1200 with an AMD video card, BUT, i was able to turn on all the settings in the catalyst game profile, anti-alias, everything...it looked very good and I'm happy.

Is there anyway to stop the Splash Screen video it usually freezes up my computer.

[Chunky Moe]

I installed nGLide and set 1920x1080.
However, in Fleet Comand the highest res choice I get is 1280x1024
Also, the nGLide Voodoo splash screen never shows up so I do not think nGLide is doing jack for Fleet Command.

Same here, any solution?
