Darth Brooks Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 So a year ago I was playing on a 19" CRT with an old video card running at 800x600. I got bored and thought I'd see what it looked like with my current card and LCD monitor running at 1600x1200 (native resolution of my monitor is 1920x1200). Are the items on the HUD (attack/force/grenade icons, player pic, etc) suppoed to be really big? Also, the minimap and the icons in the lower left look like they're scaled up really badly.

Rosbjerg Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 as far as I remember the game doesn't really handle that resolution, or the above, very well (but I honestly don't know) Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Conroy Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I guess they weren't made for such a big monitor and the icons are adjusting to the size. "For my ally is the force, and a powerful ally it is" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechBWE Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 It seems ok at 1600x1200 on my 21" LCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 It's fine for me too. They'll stay pretty big relative to the rest of the screen, however - they don't get miniscule w/more resolution. Still, if they're really huge, that would seem unusual to me. Maybe attach a screenshot? “Things are as they are.

Alec Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Works ok at 1600x1200 for me too. It depends on your video card. The stronger it is the higher resolution you can get... but you need a very powerful CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturm Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I run on 1024x768 and I have noticed when you switch from 800x600 to 1024x768 the icons to become a bit smaller and I'm running on a 17" monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I think the standard resolution for the game would be around 1280x1024... If u go higher u need a fast CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturm Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 no, you just need a bigger screen or better graphics card which can handle it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I guess your right.. the video card IS fondamental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturm Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 *Fundamental I dont see how the CPU would make any diff when that just determines the speed/brain of the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 *Thanks 4 the grammar check Well, I guess it does make it's small difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxen83 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 1024 by 768 for resolution size seems ok so far for K2. Deep from within... Victims live a life of fantasy. Some see salvation as an act of God, a few look within for it. 朱宣澧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 My understanding is that while the video card is typically the major thing, if one's CPU is too 'old' then well, it can't take advantage of the advanced card so much (bottleneck). So CPU can be a factor. But if you have a fairly 'modern/speedy' PC and an older card, the card is then the bottleneck. Depends a bit I guess. “Things are as they are.

Hassat Hunter Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Also depends on the game... While most of the time Kotor2 relies most on the GPU smoke and Dantooine seem to rely mostly on CPU; and ask more than the modern PC can provide ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

Darth Brooks Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 For me, it's not a matter of the graphics being glitchy. I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not used to the interface scaling up with the resolution since I just got finished playing Kotor I.

Alec Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 You'll just have to play it with 1024x768 or 1280x1024 resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
