Exult Forum

I modified the exult.cfg to have 3840x1080 in both resolution and game area size
For some reason Exult is not letting me freely select these value from within the app. Ok this is extreme here but still I could use a larger view than 320x200, not sure why only a selection of sizes is proposed in app. I'll take a look at the code.

Found this setting that is working perfectly for 3840x1080:

Fullscreen: enabled
DisplayMode: 3840x1080 (set through exult.cfg, not proposed in app using current dev build)
Scaler:Point
Scaling: x3 (or x4 for less cheat space)
GameArea: auto

As it’s not really useful for playing we have only some few defaults for game area.
And the defaults for the resolutions were capped with a commit and reported as a bug by me in https://github.com/exult/exult/issues/105

What you can also use is game area=auto this will/should use the full resolution but times the scaler (if I‘m not mistaken).

We‘ve touched upon in other issues that for really high resolutions we need to change scaling so that gumps/cursor are displayed independent from game area.

At 3840x1080 maybe the x4 and x5 scaling mode could be ok for playing (i.e. not too much cheat space)?
I also noticed at first I didn't have many resolutions available but now I have more, I don't know what triggered this, will have to take a look.

x4


x5

But going higher than the original game area is a personal choice, same with window res.
