Widescreen Gaming Forum

great...and this game like 20x better in widescreen then on any crt

thanx so much!

Now I am missing Civ3 widescreen to fulfill all my gaming needs :)

Ha anyone gotten this to work? I can't get it to get past the Video Card failed to initialize error.

I had a simialr problem with AOM, but a fix I found here allowed me to get it to work. I modified both of these INI files, but it still fails when the game starts.

I am using an AIW 9800 Pro and have my resolution set at 1280x720

MAN I CANT EVEN FIND THE INI FILE ON MY hard drive ...I did whole lots of searchin still no avail..help please thanks

this resolution doesnt seem to be supported?? any suggestions? i know my system supports it, im running windows off it...??

any updates here? i was planning on getting this game, but only if i can run it in widescreen. if i install patch 4 would these ini files disappear?

The only thing I can suggest would be to install the game, run it to generate the .ini files, change what needs to be changed, back them up to somewhere else (eg, just copy them to a floppy or My Documents) install the patch, and copy the .ini's back where they were. Might work, but I don't know...

yep im trying that right now, will post the results later

Ok this was easier than I thought. When I installed the game, it put the *.ini files in the game directory instead of the Documents and Settings folder. I edited rise2.ini, and changed my resolution in-game. Then I patched it to 1.3, and it kept my resolution settings.

Nice. :D

Glad it worked for you. :D

I don't even own the game and I figured it out! :lol:
