Do you need to use a -switch to turn on 1900 x 1200? As my 3.10 patch still has 1900 x 1200 blacked out (and everything above 1680 x 1050) blacked out...

Have you tried the the "-r" switch? I can't because my tft only supports 1280x1024.

Little switch that makes ninjas flip out and kill people.

R is for "razor sharp shuriken" or resolution. Take your pick. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Seriously, open a terminal and start dom3 like this: dom3 -r 1900 1200

I don't say this will work, but it is worth a try as this is an actual switch for changing resolution in dom3.

I play at 1600 x 1200 without using switches. After I get home, I will try higher resolution... but I do not like it much. Map is great, but battles are not so, can't zoom.

You can zoom with page up and page down.

When I try to select 1920x1200 for full screen (It is highlighted) a check mark is placed at 1920x1440 (which my monitor does not support.) Then if I try to switch to full screen dom3 crashes:

SDL_SetVideoMode failed: No video mode large enough for 1920x1440
Något gick fel!
Resolution change failed
Något gick fel!
Resolution change failed

Using "dom3 --res 1920 1200" works. So just the preferences screen has a bug.

I am using the 64-bit Linux version 3.10

Yeah Nikolai, between the cursor keys and page up/page down, you can move and zoom around the battlefield freely.

I did not know that. I tried +/-, and mouse wheel, and decided there's no way. Thank Dedas and llamabeast!
