HoI2- Screen resolution a problem?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic (More info?)

I've read that HoI2 is nailed to a 1024x768 resolution which makes it
a problem with laptops with another native resolution. My question
then, if anybody please knows,is this a large problem? Is it a deal
breaker or just a small niggle? My laptop uses 1400x1050.

I play HoI2 on a laptop with 1400x1050 native resolution with no problems.
Sure the 1024x768 game area is scaled to fit the screen, but everything is
perfectly legible and playable. It's a small niggle at most.

I've found this to be a common problem, my 19" LCD uses 1280x1024, yet
_many_ games out there either flat out wont run at that res, or they do it
1280x9XX (cant remember, too early ). Which flat out doesnt work.

Your probably out of luck unfortunately

Ceo-

Oki, then, thanks a lot. That was what I was hoping for.
