The problem is that the game is running in 800*600. And i have a 19" screen so I would like it to run in 1024*800 or more. I remember i had to do something to the *.ini file just don't remember what.
Why is it running in 800-600? Civ3's default is 1024-768.
you have to add a line to the .ini file to change the games res.
open the file with a text editor(make a backup in case i am wrong) and find the line that has the res listed in it.
deleating that line should put the game back to displaying in 1024-768
if you want higher res just replace the '800' or whatever with the numbers for the res you want.
(you MIGHT not have to put in the second paremeter it might work with just
800 or 1280 instead of the full 1280-1024)
i cant remember and i cant find the instructions but i think the formating
of the res change line in the ini is something like
res=1280
as i said the second parameter is not nessasary in some games.
Well I figured it out finally. I just had to insert KeepRes=1 into the civilization3.ini file then it all worked smoothly.
Perhaps I was rash stating 800*600 before, I just assumed that that was the default resolution. But now it runs smoothly in 1280 by 1024. smooth[dance]
