Full screen, not so full...

[timonoj]

Hi, I am having some trouble with this game, I have W7 64bits. There's a problem with the resolution...The native resolution of the LCD monitor is 1440x900, but for performance purposes I usually reduce the resolution to 1280x720. Well, in this case it isn't possible. Ah well, somehow it is. When I set the resolution to 1280x720, what it actually does is:
-keep the resolution at 1440x900
-then reduce the size of the image to occupy only 1280x720 pixels. That's, adding black bars both on top/bottom, and left/right sides.

It's like pressing the "-" key on wolfenstein, that reduced the screen size, and you had to get closer to the screen to actually see the small image.
How can I solve this issue?
Computer:
Intel T7300 2ghz, 2GB ram.
Nvidia 8600GT

Thank you!

what do you mean Resolution change not possible?

Do you get a black Screen?

If so just change the compatibility mode of DarkAthena.exe to windows xp SP3
Worked for me so I could change my resolution.

This looks like normal as 1440x900 is a 16:10 resolution and 1280x720 is a 16:9 resolution. If your LCD display is set to "preserve aspect ratio" in your driver settings, you will see black bars above and below the image. I suggest you to either select 1280x800 (16:10 resolution) for the game or to set your LCD display to "full screen" (but, in this case, you may notice distorsions due to the 16:10 to 16:9 conversion).

Check your video REFRESH level, ...when you go from your native-res down to a lower resolution - you may have to go from 60 to 59 in order to have it fullscreen. Play around with this setting and the pixel variables until you get what you need. You may have to go from 16:10 -> 16:9.
