How to force full screen resolution for the game

A solution for the tiny font problem on high DPI monitors.

Using DC1

1) Install Display Changer 1[12noon.com] from 12noon
URL: https://12noon.com/?page_id=80

2) Create a shortcut to dc.exe

3) Modify shortcut as shown here.
The full target string is as follows:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\12noon Display Changer\dc.exe" -width=1366 -height=768 "D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Distant Worlds Universe\DistantWorlds.exe" 

Obviously the first part has to point at dc.exe and the last part has to point at DistantWorlds.exe.



4) (Optional) Change icon for the shortcut to match the Distant Worlds executable

5) Run the shortcut.

What will happen is that Display Changer changes the resolution before the game runs, the game therefore runs at the changed resolution, and when the game executable is ended, Display Changer will automatically reverse back to the original resolution.

The recent version of dc appears requiring two more parameters, -depth and -refresh. For example,
C:\tools\dc\dc64.exe -width=2560 -height=1440 -depth=32 -refresh=60 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Distant Worlds Universe\DistantWorlds.exe"

The available options for your video and monitor can be shown by running with -listmodes. For example,
C:\tools\dc\dc64.exe -listmodes

ok, got it working, now the resolution is too...(large?) before, every thing was too small, now too big. if i adjust the numbers in the target line, the width and height, does that effect the game resolution? thanx.
