resolution locked

[fx2050 0]

only res option i now have are 800x600 and 1024x768 or windowed

windowed looks the best but issue with scrolling in a window

i swear i used to have it maxed to 1400x900, anyway to force it?

ps: i just installed new ati 5750 with latest drivers which is when noticed this issue, the card is running fine at full res everywhere else

You may try out our modification:

Higher VeryLow settings for powerfull old cards

Description: "This mod enhances the detail level for users who own graphic hardware that is underestimated by MC and locked to Very Low Settings because of lack of Pixel Shader 3.0. The mod is available in 2 flavours, choose the one that best matches with your hardware: Higher: Pushes detail level a bit higher, with custom settings somewhere between Low and Medium for most settings, but disabling shadows, which will make game crash without pixel shader 3.0. Highest: Pushes detail level beyond the highest available in game. When cars are displayed, they will never look like boxes anymore, but will look like cars instead. Shadows are disabled in this one too."

sounds good but i wouldnt say my card is old, brand new 5750 series is still quite new technology, dx 11 etc

also means i need to sign up for a german site to get it.....??????

Yes, you need to register  in order to download any modification from our site. As long as everyting is described in English nothing should be unclear.

Sorry but the mod you mention do not affect resolution, it just plays with details levels.

However I published it here too... it's here: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=403&threadid=110528

Good luck with your issue.

It seems the problem is / was (at one time anyway) that when game started at lower resolution it didn't have enough room to show the higher resolution choices in the list, so one had to grab the highest shown, then restart to see the rest. I found this quite amateurish for a game to do this, but seeing as it was beta at the time I figured they'd work it out eventually to be more like other retail games when it went to market.
