Can't you just change window's resolution? I believe the hotkey is ctrl+2+1+8+3 then alt+r then while holding down f4 or something like that, try all the f keys

no lol, but msconfig has screen res changers, dunno if itd work
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

No it requires actual hacking of the game. The hack seems to work by scanning 4 screens worth of info all the time and displaying it and it makes the minimap constantly change which makes it hard to play.

Ah, I was testing out that resolution hack. It's still too laggy to even be labeled playable. I hope there are more improvements in the future...

I tried it. You can get it here:
http://www.starcraftresolutionhack.de.vu/

If you're getting errors, try installing Microsoft C runtime libraries and .NET framework; that got it to work for me. After that, well... yeah, it's not really playable. Your inputs (and mouse movements!) lag pretty bad pretty quickly. However, watching replays "zoomed out" to 4x the viewing window is pretty amazing. You will probably need to turn your mouse speed up to navigate the replays, and the dragging on the minimap makes it flicker out until you stop dragging, but other than that, it's pretty cool to watch battles that way.

Personally i didn't notice any lag? Its only the bugs like minimap that caused a problem for me. Anyway least it has potential for observing, maybe when its less buggy id like to see some vod's with this maybe.

sure , SC needs higher resolution but this hack should be implemented into chaoslauncher and be like #ll so that only players with higher resolution hack can play against each other
otherwise it is unfair for people with lower resolutions (to play against people with resolution hack)
Once again back is the incredible!

Bah, high resolution obviously reduces the skill ceiling and makes the game totally n00b. /random whine

This is awesome for watching replays; here's a test video I made at 1440x900 resolution.

I think they spliced together 4 different shots in that video, and no, I'm pretty sure it's impossible to play SC in a higher resolution, or everyone would know about it. =P

How exactly do you do taht?

Also Resolution hack keeps crashing on me for no reason. I do everything it says, run it with sc.exe
right click res.exe and run as admin but it crashes

It lags for me, but it's a pretty cool concept. If only this was discovered years ago and expanded upon.

That's so cool, it'd be neat if kespa switched to a shot of this once in a while.

On a side note what the fuck was the terran thinking lol
