Doormann	Posted - 2007.02.15 13:32:00 - [1] hi yesterday i bought a new tft widescreen for my computer to replace my old crt screen. the screen runs at 1440 x 900 res but eve dose not cater for this so i had to choose 1280 x 800 res which the screen then automatically streches to fit then. problem is that the graphic look cartoony now they were sooooooo nice on my old screen running 1280 x 1024 res. Is there any way of getting it to run 1440 x 900? patch or anything.??
Erialor Godsent Gallente Conisor Excavations Syndicate	Posted - 2007.02.15 13:34:00 - [2] Not much of a help I'm afraid, but whenever I connect my laptop to my 1440x900 widescreen I get the option for that resolution in EVE... Maybe it comes down to the gfx-drivers/-card?

Shameless Avenger	Posted - 2007.02.15 13:35:00 - [4] I have a SyncMaster 940bw. Windows resolution is set at 1440 x 900. Eve resolution is set at 1440 x 900. It works well. Were you able to set your windows resolution to 1400x900?

Greavus Minmatar House of Tempers	Posted - 2007.02.15 13:43:00 - [8] Originally by: George Petsch VERY good question, i'm planning to get a 1680 x 1050 one I run eve on my 20.1" widescreen, in 1680x1050. It works great, with no problems. If it runs in the above res, there surely must be a way to get the 1440 res working
Nicoolai	Posted - 2007.02.15 13:44:00 - [9] I'm pretty sure eve grabs the resolutions from windows. I wanted to run a windowed eve in 1280x960 so i added it as a custom resolution in windows (gfx card settings) and after that, I could pick it in eve.
Pepe Prawn	Posted - 2007.02.15 13:47:00 - [10] Using 1440x900 for eve in fullscreen. No probs on this side Think is your drivers I am not a shrimp! I am a king prawn, okay?

Is there any way of getting it to run 1440 x 900? patch or anything.?? Please make sure that: You have updated monitor drivers. Make sure Eve is windowed on the widescreen monitor of your choice. I've seen sometimes where I need to reselect my graphics adapter in Eve. In the graphics tab it'll say (for me) "NVidia GeForce 7800 GT". Reselect this and it might update your resolution list. If there are multiple entries in this list, try another one. Might be a decent go to edit your resolution in prefs.ini _________________________________________________________ Yarrr!
Kuntakinte NL Seriously Corrupt Information Industries Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.15 15:45:00 - [14] You can also force screen res in your driver settings
Luthias III Bellum Aeternus Storm Armada	Posted - 2007.02.15 16:46:00 - [15] Does anyone know if they plan to support widescreen with 1440X900? I know I can run fullscreen at the resolution but when I click on widescreen I get the black boxes above and below the main screen.
Nero Ya'ng	Posted - 2007.02.16 06:32:00 - [16] its already widescreen when using ur widescreen resolution. no need for that widescreen option.

BBQ Gallente Suicidal Tendencies Ltd United Corporations Of Modern Eve	Posted - 2007.02.17 13:24:00 - [18] Eve pulls in the resolutions that DirectX detects the monitor can do. I run eve on a 1280x1024 19"montor and also a 1440x900 19" widescreen monitor, both can be in native resolutions. Make sure that you have a monitor driver that supports 1440x900. ---- God gave us a brain, he also gave us a voice. Shame some people have yet to connect them.
Per Kopfhurer Privateers Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.17 15:58:00 - [19] Also if you have more than 1 monitor connected, make sure the one you want to play on is set as primary. Eve shows 2560x1600 as an option for me only when the big screen is primary.
