I've lurked here for literally years, so an official Hi to everyone.

I'm pressed into posting just to say OMG why? Why would they do this, and how is it that no word of this crept out from the pre-viewers, etc.

Let me say, if they decided to intentionally force 1024x768 then I'll NOT be buying this game. The AA thing had me saying "meh, who cares its just AA". But no hi-rez? I've not been so dissapointed in a long time.

I'm holding on to some small hope that this is merely a bug which can be fixed with some manual config file editing. But... yeaaah.... umm....

:damn: :down:

Uhm, I have been looking for any thing stating the game will support higher resolution other than 1024x768. Does anyone have this anywhere?:hmm:

It amazes me, they can make such a cool game yet are totaly freaking usless at the engine.. like.. come on.... you dont support fsaa.. you DONT support ANY other rez other then 1024x768.. no ubi...s treatching the SNOT out of it doesnt count.. it relaly shone to light today when I was trying to shell a freighter.. hell.... I think silent service.. had jaggeds

I dont have SH4 but I have eyes and I can think. No need to imply that I have a 'copy'... :down:

Pre-Order of SuperDuperSpecialEdition just cancled...

:dead: Well guys...that settles it for me. After SH3 and the bugs that N E V E R got fixed (until modders did the best they could with no SDK), and now this.... :down: :down:

I will not be buying SH4 unless they patch this mess first. Im perfectly happy playing GWX... modders without a SDK make a better game for free...truly sad.

I have an older Dell 19" LCD with a native res of 1600X1200... with no FSAA, and no REAL Higher res than 1024x768 (cripes Half life 1 shipped being able to support higher resolutions and that was what 10 years ago)... pathetic...truly pathetic.

The thing is, a lot of us have purchased LCD monitors since sh3, and our widescreens look crappy when not run in their native resolutions. It's not as big a deal if you are still using a CRT monitor. Widescreens simply NEED to stay in their native resolutions. And we were promised high res and widescreen suport.

It needs to be fixed, somehow.

I was looking too. I don't recall seeing it anywhere on the official site, but I know I saw one of the devs saying it in a video. Not to mention it gives you the option to select higher res in the menu...which is rather misleading if the 3d world is locked.

So people that don't have WideScreen LCD will not notice? If true glad I kept my trusty CRT, and didn't jump on the LCD bandwagon. Is this current problem everyone in this thread is bitching about just a Widescreen LCD problem? If so then you need to make that clear.

And where the hell did you get the game? Its not even shipped yet.

You will find it - in writing - in the dev answers-thread at UBI forums.

Copied from the anti-aliasing topic:

Your trusty CRT will notice, if you plan to play above 1024x768. The game is out in several countries now, some have bought it in the US too.

Can you post a link to the page that answer is on? I just searched those answers and did not see it.

It's in the recently released developer interview video.

Actually, this isn't an LCD problem. Since the game framework "supports" widescreen, the image will fill the whole physcial screen, however apparently the 3-d world is rendered in low rez, then upscaled.

So LCD and CRT people get equally screwed here...

Same as XanderF, got an LCD...without FSAA games look much worse on an LCD, but I prefer LCSs as they are better for my eyes. Mine has got max res of 1280x1024 - does that mean tht I will have a damn jaggy game?not going to cancel my order, though...But I can't believe that after releasing beta version of SH3 they did the same with SH4...

hi folks!

if it is true, it's a NO GO. :down:

just canceled my pre-order a few minutes ago. telling the people, sh4 would support higher resolutions than 1024x768 and now we get this? omg, it's almost the biggest lie and dumbest fake thing i've ever heard of. shame on the devs. :nope:

evil666, disappointed german customer

(sorry for my bad english) :oops:

lets just tar and feather them and be done with it

How many people other than the original poster here have confirmed this issue?
It could be a singular case; in another thread, someone suggested that SHIV needs to be restarted after changing resolution.

Please verify the issue before making such a fuss - I hope all this yelling is justified by more than one report!

On the other hand, it doesn't bother me, since I'm locked at 1024x768 and an old vid card anyway :p

What I have read it is the interface that is adjustablet to higher resolutions. Is not the interface the gauges and buttons on the bottom?

Also, looking through the forums, I've seen several reports of people running the game at 1600x1200. Are they blind, or is there something possibly wacky about this panic? :hmm:
