Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: turok on August 08, 2006, 07:13:41 AM Hi,
I want to know how or if there is anyway, edit registry new file , patch or any way to set the resolution of ST Armada 2 to 1280x1024, I and all ATi users can set it to 1280x960, but on all nvidia cards , we can set the resolution to 1280x1024 with no problem, (the option to set the resoltion in the graphics section) any help waiting ur reply thanks Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: DOCa Cola on August 08, 2006, 08:26:45 AM there is no known possible way to accomplish that. the only thing i know is that it has not always worked but with one of the newer nvidia drivers that were made available.
i have tried several methods with one ati user over instant messenger but we couldn't find a solution also. a possibility is to contact ati and ask for a solution directly. DOCa Cola Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: turok on August 08, 2006, 03:09:53 PM Thanks for your reply,
And for all working in this project All the luck is there a way to add a command to the shortcut of the game to force it to use this resolution ( many games work with this way), and what that command should be, like "C:\Program Files\Activision\Star Trek Armada II" -1280x1024, this is an example Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: The Old Man on August 08, 2006, 11:10:08 PM As already mentioned I have the same problem with my Nvidia card.
Another resolution that does not work is 1280 x 960 (ATI Mobility RADEON X600 SE). FO looks a bit stretched for me... Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: Acidpunk on August 08, 2006, 11:42:20 PM thats werid cause on my Ati radeon 9700 pro in my notebook i play on 1280x1024 all the time u consider that its just a driver problem ?
Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: The Old Man on August 08, 2006, 11:55:45 PM I use the latest drivers available. So I think I shouldn't have this problem - but I do...
Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: Acidpunk on August 08, 2006, 11:58:08 PM I dont use the latest drivers i use some pretty old ones on my notebook and it works newest doesnt always fix problems
Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: cts006 on August 09, 2006, 12:42:18 AM I wish my flops would work at 1280x1024.

May you tell us the version of catalyst driver you are using?????? I really want to fix this problem esp. some ATi users are saying they do not have that problem with older drivers. any help is appreciated Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: DOCa Cola on August 09, 2006, 08:31:23 AM yes, there is an undocumented command line parameter available
Code: usage: -res [width] [height] -bpp [color depth] example: -res 1280 1024 -bpp 32 but it seems to keeps resetting the resolution to 800x600x16 if an invalid/unsupported resolution was entered edit: what i had in theory was if there is an 1280x960 mode supported in the drivers, armada 2 prefers that mode OVER 1280x1024, as i cannot choose 1280x960 in my display settings but only 1280x1024. maybe if someone kills 1280x960 out of their directx supported resolutions list, it *may* work. (http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8238/untitledpo9.png) i used directx control panel that is included in the directx 9 sdk to read the supported resolutions for directdraw. a standalone version can be downloaded here (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/Microsoft-DirectX-Control-Panel.shtml) Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: turok on August 09, 2006, 08:45:03 AM Well I will try to kill this resolution, and see if I will be able to use 1280x1024 Many thanks Crossing my fingers Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: DOCa Cola on August 09, 2006, 08:48:47 AM hope you have seen my edited post..
Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: turok on August 09, 2006, 10:25:16 AM Yes Dear,
But I will try it later, for now I am at my work, all your effort is really appreciated will come back to you with any update, good or bad With regards Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: actros on August 09, 2006, 12:29:30 PM i almost newer run games at the right resolution ....
cause almost none of the games have my resolution :( :cry: only game i know that has 1680x1050 is gta san andreas ... Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: turok on August 09, 2006, 02:50:05 PM Ok
So I see that 1280x960 and 1280x1024 are supported in the directx options as you showed , but there is no option to block or remove any of the supported resolutions!!!! HOW?????????? Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: Acidpunk on August 09, 2006, 07:28:49 PM cant u press delete or somethin on ur keyboard
Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: DOCa Cola on August 09, 2006, 09:27:22 PM nope, i don't know a way. the direct cpl only shows the supported resolutions. i wanted to know if that is really the case. i haven't looked into how the false resolutions can be removed, however i will as soon as i have time for.
If anyone has an idea, go ahead and post it :) DOCa Cola Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: The Old Man on August 09, 2006, 10:26:49 PM Okay, I am sorry: Please forget everything I said about 1280 x 960. Indeed my notebook uses a very different resolution which doesn't work either: 1280 x 768 px.
Is this resolution supported anyway? Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: DOCa Cola on August 09, 2006, 11:46:44 PM is 1280x960 available in armada 2?
it would be interesting to see which resolutions are listed in the directx control panel posted above.. :) DOCa Cola Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: turok on August 10, 2006, 06:50:41 AM I remember a program to add custom resolutions to your driver profile, but don't remember its name, maybe I can delete the unwanted resolutions, but just if I can remember!!1
this program is free, but what is the name?????????? Wow I just remembered "PowerStrip" :) I'll download it and try to remove the resolutions, hope this works Thanks Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: turok on August 10, 2006, 07:31:06 AM Nope no luck here
any suggestions Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: DOCa Cola on August 10, 2006, 07:54:20 AM does 1280x960 still appear in the directx cpl after you have used powerstrip?
Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: turok on August 10, 2006, 09:16:38 AM Powerstrip does not enable me to remove the normal resolutions, only the custom resolutions I edit or add!!!!
What a mess. Or it could be that I do not how!!!!! :0 Title: How To Set 1280x1024 Res. On Ati Cards Post by: Acidpunk on August 11, 2006, 03:07:11 AM hmm well have you tried reverting to older drivers?
