is there a way to get higher resolutions |
|
my monitor (17" TFT) has a native 1280x1024 resolution, but morrowind only goes up to 1280x968. Is there a way to get higher resolutions for morrowind? Looked in the .ini file but didn't find it there. |

Optimal reoslution for 17" monitor is 1024*768. And when you push every graphics settings to max with that resolution, the game already start to slowdown even on a high end systems. What kind of supercomputer you got? |

I got a VERY fast system if you must know. And I realize upping the resolution will make it slower, but I have a 17" TFT (not CRT!) which runs at a 1280x1024 resolution and using something lower causes the image to stretch or to be compressed (thus not using the whole screen). I run almost all my games at 1280x1024 without a problem. Strange thing is, resolutions only seem to go up to 1280x968, nothing more... |

17" TFT? pull out documentations that came with the hardware, check any special driver for the monitor, its optimal resolution, and with that kind of high resolution - make sure that the refresh rate is 72 - 75 or above.
Make sure video card driver is latest, installed properly and adjust the setting correctly - refer to the hardware's manual if needed.
Find out whether Morrowind really supporting the resolution you wanted, just in case.. |

I play at 1600*1200. So option does not end with 1280*968, however it seems that MW does not support 1280*1024, only 1280*968. It ussually shows only resolutions you can use. So 1280*968 is highest resolution you can use. I doubt you can change it. 1024*768 or 1280*968 are only choices |

I was able to fix it by modifying the registry entries |

I believe normal resolutions are supported up to 2048x1800. You can set every resolution you want in the registry. |
