Hello everybody,

I have a small question regarding civ's resolution settings. My monitor has a native resolution of 1900 * 1200 however this isn't an option when i try to change the resolution of the game. It does however list 1900 * 1080. I have a nvidia geforce 8800gts with 640mb mem. This should easily be sufficient for running the game. Does anyone have clue about why i can't set it to 1900 * 1200.

Kind Regards,

Gnirts

Are your geforce drivers recent?
There is also a switch in the civ*.ini file for forcing a resolution if needed. A more common resolution for some widescreens is 1920 x 1200.

Thanks for de quick reply, i updated my drivers and it worked, pretty strange though i tought i had pretty recent drivers. Anyway as you mentioned it actually was 1920 * 1600, my new screen only arrived a week ago.. think i need to get used to this size.

Thanks,

Gnirts

Hi !

My monitor has a 1280x720 (higher) resolution and I canīt play the game. I try to change the civ*.ini file but nothing happens. How do I proceed to play ?

Thanks

I think only BtS supports 720P, the rest require at least 1024x768.
