Setting custom resolution?
« on: August 17, 2023, 04:09:38 pm »
Is there a way to manually set a custom resolution? I've got a laptop with a weird resolution (2256x1504, it's the Framework 13 inch) and it doesn't show up in the list anywhere, and poking around config.dat with diff and a hex editor didn't seem to reveal any obvious way to set a custom one. Currently I'm playing in a window at 2048x1152, which is usable, but it'd be nice to use the whole screen properly.

I'm running it on Linux through Wine, so maybe there's some wine settings I need to fiddle with to get the resolutions to show up properly for the game?

If still looking for an answer - this page seems to have some relevant instructions: https://askubuntu.com/questions/16733/adjusting-resolution-for-individual-wine-programs .

Dealing with non-standard laptop resolutions in older game engines is always such a pain. If editing the config files directly doesn't play nice, a decent workaround is to set your actual OS scaling/display to 100% temporarily or use Windows/Linux's built-in borderless windowed tools (like Lossless Scaling or Gamescope if you're on Linux) to force it to stretch to the native aspect ratio. It usually handles the stretching a lot better than the built-in game menus do.
