Config for 1680x1050 Widescreen

Post by tainok85 »

Please note I use the Parallel Universe mod on top of PR, so I'm not 100% sure if that'll make it unusable with PR but there shouldn't be a problem. Just be SURE TO BACK UP your original config file FIRST! Don't blame me if your computer grows legs and an ion cannon and kills you!

I have a 22" widescreen and wasn't able to play windowed mode because I don't use a joystick, so every time I dragged the mouse too far outside and fired it would deselect the Vega Strike window, very annoying.

If I did fullscreen, everything was squished a bit...

So, I changed the config a little and got it working nicely with a 1680x1050 widescreen setup. (I could do other resolutions if you want, just ask) Also changed the aspect ratio so that circles are actually circles :) it's all in the correct perspective.

The other settings you'll have to set yourself via the normal methods, but you'll notice that the selection for your resolution now has '1680x1050' on it.

Enjoy!

@Bohtendayak when you run the setup utility click the Color box the choices there are 32 bit and 16 bit color both windowed and full screen 8) Press all the buttons you might find other useful settings for your enjoyment :wink:

Enjoy the Choice :)
