The Resolution Change

[Displaced]

sure 1280x1024 mightve been the "norm" in 2000 or whatever, but its halfway through 2008 atm, I dont personally know anyone who plays games at under 1600x1200.

Valve did a big player survey though steam, and I was surprised to see how many still on 1280*1024. I too expected the majority to have moved over to computer setups from this millenium. :P

Subspace is 10 years old, so it was designed for this resolution. Just because you play a lot of other games and have to keep your PC up to date for those, doesn't mean you have to force this ancient game to change with you. Go play Crysis or something.
(Ultimately it is possible to view the entire map in one screen, and that is really not the idea.)

Ha ha, reminded me of my friend who just invested a big deal of money in a PC only to play crysis and the computer broke down before he could play. :grin:

[Noah]

Crysis is just a gigantic fail, even today with the best computer you can commercially buy, you still can't max everything of the settings and play with a smooth fps.

I dont keep my pc up to date, my computer is around 5/6 years old, and I have a native res of 1680x1050.

Hi, my name's J. T., but you can call me danknuggets.

I currently have 5/6 yr old computer & monitor with a maximum resolution of .... 1024x768. I don't really play any games on my computer besides continuum and minesweeper.

It was nice to meet you.

the zone; trench wars, was made for 1280x1024

[Pure_Luck]

we are complaining about a res limit that was increased just for pub?

us Australians do.

[crazi]

i dont really care. this 1440x900 is great cuz i have a stolen lcd monitor i bought from the triads. but since the res cap is 1280, i'm blaming me sucking ass on the res cap. i think it should be put at 1600x1200 because i love women.

[Dwopple]

the res change is to duelers like the base map change is to basers.


FUCK ALL.

[roxxkatt]

i agree, do whats best for the future of tw...
the blocks were removed, gameplay is better,

and the res cap should be raised, an anyone that thinks differently needs to die.

[DankNuggets]

one more thing i've noticed with all the giant widescreen monitors coming out now: fucking minesweeper is impossible to play at higher resolutions. i mean talking about a square thats smaller than curser ffs.

[RednaZ]

Oeh a fellow minesweeper, what's your best times?

[DankNuggets]

4 seconds randomly clicking on begginer

around 35 seconds on intermediate

expert, i don't really know. (120?)

i used to change the .ini file on windows 95 to show me winning in like 1 second on all times, sadly this no longer works.

I don't really play for time (too noisy for one), I just like to win. I'd say that I win more than half the games i play on expert, but it takes forever to go through it w/o guessing. i got a friend who flies through expert, usually if he wins it's less than 90 secs. He does it by not following one path, but by just flagging mines where he sees it easiest. I'll go through the hard parts logically in my head while he quickly gets the easy parts so i can show him how to finish it quickly.

but yeah, fucking intolerable to play on higher resolutions, and my work monitor won't go back to 1024x768 or 800x600. Also the damn optical mouse jumps around like crackhead in need of a fix. Alas, minesweeper is being swept under the carpet by technological advances.
