Minimum resolution?

Post by buggme »

What is the minimum resolution for the game?

I found a comment by the dev that "The game supports anything above 1024x600."

However, it doesn't appear to be correct, I am using a min laptop with 1024x600 res and while the main screen loads fine, everything else seem to be cut off i.e. in the settings or new game the (bottom?) buttons doesn't show up..

No problems found with 1024*768, but I would suspect I am using the smallest one practical (and my screen is 20 years old)

I think the devs are/were working on a mini-UI that would not be cut-off.

I used to have 1280x768 laptop, it was my 'slitherine turn-base platform' for long and boring night shifts :wink: Unfortunately recently it died on me and this mini is the only mobile I got left, and in the forcible future I can't afford spend time playing at home :cry:

It would be nice if they would, but I wouldn't hold my breath. 1024*768 seem to be the standard for minimal res (its not the first game i was unable to run on this mini), and I wouldn't blame them for not wanting to spend the effort on this negligible res.

I noticed the comment on discussion about high res devices, the game main screen loaded fine, the ingame interface seem to be constricted only by width and I couldn't see res adjustments in settings. So while a long shot I was hopping that there is some way to make it work (even if officially unsupported) i.e. either some kind of custom ini res/stretch setting or away to skip the first screen (hot keys or arrows\enter).

If anyone find something please post it.
