Changing Morrowind resolution without mods, using regedit?

MisterFryman · 07-22-2012, 02:35 PM

'sup brosephs so I'm trying to play this tasty game right now, but these black bars on each side of the screen are totally killing my immersion boner

some other bros in a similar thread recommended using the FPS optimizer but it won't work because it can't find the path to the game. I'm not like a total nerd so I don't know how to fix this. One bro on the UESP wiki wrote this thing about it but doesn't give the specific numbers to write into the edit box.

Basically for screen width, I see "Value Data: 0000 05 00 00" and for screen height I see "Value Data: 0000 20 03 00 00"

Which numbers do I change bros? I'm trying to get 1200x800 resolution. One problem I've seen is that like, the game just gets stretched but doesn't change the POV. Is there a way to change that in regedit too?

What i have on this path in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Bethesda Softworks/Morrowind is

"Screen Height" - 0x00000384 (900)

"Screen Width" - 0x000005a0 (1440)

1440x900 is my native solution 20" 16:10, plugged in with DVI cable.

Also you can use the MGE XE Tool (find it in tes.nexus.com) but than it is strictly recommendet to set the steam overlay off before you use it.
