You might know me as the accidental necromancer who'd attempted to raise the 5 year old solved issue thread the other day (sorry Hickory!).
Hi.
I'm a little embarrassed but would like some help figuring out how to configure Gibbering 3's Wide Screen Mod.
My rig is a Windows 7 laptop with a 1766x768 native screen resolution and when I load The Original Saga it insists on being a centrally located 640x480 square. I tried tweaking the display in my control panel to do 640x480 (and also noodling around with compatibility mode) but no luck, still messed up. So the thing is when I run the wide screen mod if I set the resolution to x=1766 y=768 it stays the same... but if I tell it to support multiple resolutions and have the minimum be 640x480 with the maximum as 1766x768 it doesn't seem to do very much and weirdest of all if I set both the minimum and the max to be 1766x768 I get a 640x480 box shoved permanently into the upper left hand corner of the screen. This can't be right.
Please tell me there is a way to resize the game window... I've been stumped since last night and am starting to get somewhat pissed off about it.
Other specs (I don't know, in the off chance they might help?):
Graphics card: Shitty integrated Intel one it came prefab with that is heavily resistant to replacement (hence the appeal of getting DRM free stuff that is mod friendly + older games off GoG since it isn't aging gracefully as minimum requirements on several more modern games continue to get more demanding. lol).
x64 architecture.
An @ least eother second or third Gen i5 Processor.
8 Gb of RAM.
Make of computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad E540.
