Custom resolution?

[iquere 2]

Well the thread title is pretty self-explainatory. Back when I played SC4 like a maniac, I had a tiny 15" monitor and as such resolution wasn't an issue. In the years after that I've bought my own gaming rig and a spanking new 22" widescreen monitor... It's pretty sweet to play SC4 on such a big monitor, lets you see a lot of your city

Well SC4 doesn't support widescreen in the ingame options, so is there any way to achieve it at all? I mean, I don't mind playing as it is, but it would be great to not have your image stretched all the time.

Thanks for any answers

If you right click on your shortcut icon, go to properties and paste "C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -Introff -CustomResolution:enabled -r1280x800x32 under the target area, you can set the -r1280X800X32 to whatever res you want.

OK, this would be good for me too but I don't fully understand what you, Zezug are saying. Are you saying that I should open up "SimCity 4.exe" and add -CustomResolution:enabled -r1280x800x32?

Hmm odd that thread didn't come up when I searched the forum... :/

Thanks a lot anyway!

I tried this, I changed my icon properties to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -w -CustomResolution:enabled -r1900x1080x32 and when I try to click on the icon it does nothing and now I can't get into the game unless I open the file from the drop down menu.
