So I am familiar with Compatibility mode, and options menus that allows customizations for resolutions (the only res appears to be 640x480). I am also aware that most games will auto set your resolution to what ever it runs on. I however have a game that ignores all of that.
Carnivores Ice Age is a favorite of my fathers and as a gift I purchased it for him. I keep my monitor set on a very high resolution (1600x1024) and the game will only appear in the top left part of the screen in 800x600 with the rest blacked out. it would be rather irritating to have to switch resolutions every time to play or just focus on the small area that the game provides. What I really want is a code so I can set up a batch file to open the game in a lower resolution, and upon exiting it returns the computer to the previous state. Window has demonstrated something like this is possible via the compatibility mode unfortunately I lack the proper sequence of code. I was thinking something like:
["C:\Program Files\Carnivores Ice Age\ICEAGE.exe" -width=800 -height=600]
any information would be welcome and helpful.
