Widescreen Gaming Forum

Not sure if I'm allowed to post here, anyway, here's the widescreen hack for those running Civ3 from a MAC:

There is a seperate board for Mac solutions. It is called Widescreen Confirmed Solutions - Mac. Please post your Mac-specific solutions there.

sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, I searched and couldn't find anything.
I'm unable to locate the .ini file in the directory after running and quitting the game. can somebody please help me locate it?

If it's not there, just create a file with the same name. Make sure that visible file extensions are turned on, or you won't be able to save it properly.

I have a moniter with a resolution of 1440x900.

Its a Hanns-G HW191D

Anyways, I tested out Civ 3 in 1440x900.

It works, though a few things I noticed, I will post with screenshots.

The game doesn't seem to move the boxes approprietly. You can see in the Cultural Advisor box.

The HUD doesn't seem to stretch.

One other thing I noticed.

Civ 3 puts bars in the left and right in certain menus. It did that in the city menu, Main menu, and Im sure there is others.

Hope this helps!

I don't understand what you mean by that.

>>The HUD doesn't seem to stretch.
Yes, I covered that in the report.

>>Civ 3 puts bars in the left and right in certain menus.
And the top and bottom too (if your horizontal res is higher than 768). I also covered that in the report.

Its not that it doesnt do it right, it just doesnt move the box over to the extra space, where I would of liked it to be, as you can see in this screenshot.
