widescreen support

[Aradae]

I've been thinking of getting a widescreen monitor but before I do so I have to know, does civilization IV support widescreen?

[Krill]

It supports up to 1440x900 (native resolution for my 19'' widescreen) in the menu, and that is what I'm running atm. It is pretty nice, much nicer than the old 1024x768 I was running last year.

It is possible to set the resolution that CIV uses in the CIV config file, though you have to set the width and height seperately (ie, you need to know the values for both and just type them in, it really isn't even a 5 minute job).

[Solver]

Yeah, as long as your resolution is at least 1024x768, you can run Civ4 in pretty much any mode you might want to.

Krill lies. I know it supports at least up to 1680x1050.

thanks alot for the help

[Krill]

Well, I can't get it to go up to 2880x900, I know that much

1920x1200 is fine though.

[Krill]

Yeah but that moniter is for coding and not playing nowadays Trip

Updated to a 22" widescrean early this year, and I'm using 1680x1050 - works fine, and looks great.

Kuci, yes, 2 moniters; one for CIV and the other for Firefox/teamspeak/MSN.

Ditto that. And I wouldn't want to play it any other way now.
