Hey guys I LOVE CKDV but what is the best screen resolution I can play the game in? I have a PC that does 1900 x 1200 - is there a mod that can make the game run to fit this size without being blurred? I tried the windowed mode but it was so small my eyes hurt!
 
I'll give it a go - I have a feeling that I may have tried that and it doesn't work - are there any mods or patches that fix this thing that you are aware of?? (Appreciate the help by the way)

AFAIK there aren't any mods or patches that deal with it.

According to Jordarkelf in that thread that I listed, setting the resolution in settings.txt should just work
 
As long as you have DV, writing your resolution there will work.

Make sure your videocard and monitor support your chosen res at 60Hz.

So to play at 1900x1200 use the following in the file:
Code:
1900
1200
MUSIC_ON

If this does not work, try a slighty lower res like 1680x1050:
Code:
1680
1050
MUSIC_ON

Those are the values I've been using since DV came out. On my laptop with the same native res I use the same values.
 
I just re-downloaded the game CK+DV at gamersgate to my new computer installed latest beta patch 2.1 and I have a monitor and videocard that supports 1900x1200 at 60hz but changing to:

1900
1200
MUSIC_ON

in settings.txt does not work. It works fine if I reset to standard values 1024x768 but its all blurry and stretched and I wonder if there could be something else to try? I still like to play CKDV sometimes and hope I can play it at native res so all help is greatly appreciated!

In EU3 IN I had to rename movies folder and edit settings a bit because I run Vista 64 bit. Found a good thread for my problem. Im not sure what I did but it worked.
