1280x1024 flat panel resolution problem

[Antero98]

Ok I tried this great game after 7 years and now its working fine with win xp, but
how to chance the game-resolution to fit my flat panel native resolution 1280x1024? Originally the game is 800x600 and its blurry that way. I tried DirectDraw=0 settings in ini-files and now the picture is sharp but all starting icons are out of the scene and game layouts are messed up so it is unplayable.
Anyone have answer this resolution problem?

Its great game anyway

Hi Antero98,

I also have a flat screen running at 1280x1024. It runs the game just fine at that resolution (having DirectDraw=0 in the ini file).

You might want to check out this thread on Apolyton. To summarize, 1280x1024 (and other large resolutions) works for some, but not for others. AFAIK, no one has figured out why this is so.

Some suggestions:

* Make sure that the DirectDraw=0 command is in the [Alpha Centauri] portion of the ini file.
* If you're starting the game using axstart.exe, try using terran(x).exe instead.
* Instead of using the DirectDraw command, try Video Mode=1024 in the ini file. That should force the game to run at 1024x768 and might be an improvement over 800x600.

HTH
