Supported resolutions.

Hey I was wondering what display resolutions is the game going to support?
Cuz I got a new laptop with a 17" widescreen, and I love the 1440*900 res in a lot off games (specially HL2 and Guild wars) Is there an ini file in the game where you can set every res you like, or are all res's gonna be 4:3.

Regards and keep up the very good work.
 
Supported resolutions are 640*480 and 1024*768 (recommended). However, you should be able to run the game in 800*600 and 1280*1024
 
Okay, but the first 3 are 4:3 resolutions and the last is a 5:4 resolution

I have a 19" CRT that is 4:3 spec and uses 1280x960, which is a 4:3 resolution

However the original poster was asking if the game would support 16:9 and 8:5 (16:10) widescreen resolutions, which apparently is not the case :<
 
Ok here is the complete list of resolutions that are supported

1280x1024
1280x960
1280x800
1280x768
1280x720
1152x864
1088x612
1024x768
960x600
800x600
640x480

While only 1024x768 and 640x480 are official and the others are new settings from the SCP team and still have minor bugs.
 
Hmm, apparently some of this resolution mods have been added lately to the code. I was not aware of them. *shrugs*
 
Still it is very interesting.. new games like HL2 and guild wars fully support widescreen and it looks and feels much more natural.. the extra space in the width especially comes in handy when you have a lot of heads up stuff going on.
 
Just thought that it would be funny if the widescreen is used in a way that the space that a normal 4:3 would use is taken as the front view and the "new" space on the side as part of the sideview.
Something like the normal view where you have a quite broad frontview but also a small part on each side where you see out of the corner of your eyes...or in WC you see part of the side structures/windows.
With the correct perspective correction it could give you an realy interesting view on games.
Well maybe that is just something that people with glasses experiance since we allready have somekind of display in front of our eyes :)

So are the listed ones just the "supported" ones. If you wanted to run at a higher resolution, would the game support it?
 
There is an option you can activate in the launcher for using "nonsupported resolutions." I haven' tried it yet. I'll have to give it a shot and see how it works.
 
Under non supprted resolutions you will find the above metioned resolutions and the offical resoltutions.

FS2 original engine was just made for the max resolution of 1024x768x32.
The SCP team increased it to the above mentioned resolutions.

For what happens if you are running a higher resolution on your PC as the supported?
Since I don't have a way to test it I would guess that the same happens that happens with most games...the resolution is lowered to the resolution you have selected in the setup as long as the game is running.
 
A little addition to the resolutions.

The allready posted ones are the Direct3D resolutions but the game also supports OpenGL that has some other resolutions.
Problem is not all graphical features are also avaible for OpenGL while other are looking just better in OpenGL.

Here are the OpenGL resolutions

1600x1200
1600x1024
1600x900
1360x768
1280x1024
1280x960
1280x768
1280x720
1152x864
1024x768
800x600
640x480
