Fixing Screen Resolution And Game Camera Problems

[Leomark]

I have this game on GOG so your exact location of the game file under steam will vary, that said this is how I found out how to fix two bugs at the same time.

The following bugs: Screen resolution being wrong and not being able to move the camera with the mouse cursor were fixed by doing the following.

- Find your game file location. For GOG: Settings > Manage Installation > Show Folder
For Steam: Right click on game > Properties > Local Files >
Browse
- Whilst inside of the Panzers folder find 'Options.ini' file and open it in either notepad or any other software that allows you to edit and save changes.
- Open 'Options.ini' with said notepad software and find under graphics the following lines of code.

Fullscreen = 0
FullScreenWidth = ????
FullScreenHeight = ????
WindowWidth = 1024
WindowHeight = 768

- The settings 'FullScreenWidth' and 'FullScreenHeight' should be your native resolution for your monitor. (For example my monitor is 2560x1440p and so under FullScreenWidth it would be 2560 and under FullScreenHeight it would be 1440)
- After correctly adding your native resolution to the correct lines of code, save the ini file and close it. Start up your game.
- Upon starting up your game it should be in windowed mode, if all previous steps have been done correctly press 'F11' or function key 11. This will then swap the game into fullscreen mode to your native resolution. This should allow you to solve both the resolution problem but more importantly the mouse panning bug.

Trouble shooting:
- Upon first start up of game your whole monitor is filled with the upper left hand of the game screen. Close down the game, go into the 'Options.ini' file and change 'Fullscreen' from 1 to 0.
- Pressing F11 to go into full screen mode causes the whole monitor to be filled with the upper left hand of the game screen. Make sure your FullScreenWidth and FullScreenHeight are the correct resolution to your monitor. This can be found out (windows 10) by searching your computer next to the windows icon for 'resolution' it should give you a search result for your monitors resolution be it the 'recommended' setting or your own setting.
- Having the game in fullscreen from start up will cause and error, make sure in 'Options.ini' that this is set to 0.

Now I'm not taking credit for this solely, there were many helpful others that already solved this but since that information is old and a tad confusing I sought to collate it under a single thread. Best of luck playing this game.

Cheers.

Hi there, thanks a lot, it work perfectly on Panzers One, ¿could you send me, please, an screenshot of how does it look like the "Graphics Settings" in the options.ini archive in Panzers 2? I couldn´t fix the problem, i think there is missing something because the FullscreenWidth and FullscreenHeight options wasn´t there.

Anyway, thankyou so much!
