Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Launcher resolution
« on: November 24, 2010, 01:04:40 pm »
Hi follks!

I have just installed Plane Shift, and even before entering the game, i came across a Problem.
The Launcher is a fixed resolution window, and it is way too big.

I have a Netbook running at a native resolution of 1024x600 pixels. I can play games at that resolution (or 800x600 if they don't support 1024x600) at an acceptable framerate, but the launcher is so big that i don't see the buttons at the bottom.

So, to start PlaneShift, i have to rise the resolution way above the native one. That clobbers down performance and makes it look really awfull.

Don't you think 800x600 should be large enough for the launcher-window?
Or could it be resizeable? Or somehow detect the systems resolution on startup and then fit to that?
Or at least, place the buttons somewhere on the sides or top, so they can be reached even if the bottom is not visible?
 
As 1024x600 is becoming more widely used for small note- and netbooks, and they become more powerfull, more and more people will run into this pitfall.

I have also noticed that PlaneShift supports all sorts of 16:9 or 16:10 resolutions, but not 1024x600 pixels. It would be nice to run the game at that native resolution, it just looks better. But thats not really an issue, i just wanted to mention it.

Thank you very much, you do a great job there!
