When the game is in windowed mode, you can drag the edges to resize it even though it doesn't show the standard windows resize icon for your mouse pointer.

A day or 2 ago i saw chill's stream and was amazed at how he could get such a wide resolution. Turn out it was because he had a 16: 9 screen. However i tried to change some little things in order to get a somewhat 16: 9 dual screen and eventually i think i managed to get it wider... Is that even allowed ? >_<
Pretty sure we can even get a simple 17" screen with a larger height...

I'd love to see someone with Eyefinity like This.
That would be sick

Eyefinity/dual screen may be cool for single player but even at 16: 9 I consider it somewhat of a disadvantage because of how long it takes to shift your eye's focus between the minimap and the supply counter

i should try that dual screen setup out :D..looks nice.

But eah, having to actually move your head to check minimap/food count is a pain.

Also mouse scrolling will be a major pain. Though i can see a big advantage in having such a wide field of vision compared to the standard one...interesting!
I'm Norwegian/Dutch. Just the awesome parts of them though :D

Alright ... so I'm not sure I understand all of this.

What is the best way to get a 16 game resolution out of a 16:10 monitor in windowed mode?
- will the game be stretched/distorted or will there be black bars?

The reason i want to do this, of course, is because I've heard that you can see more of the map by doing so. I don't believe I have the option for 16 resolutions in the regular SC2 graphics options.



I have a 4 : 3 monitor but wanted to play in 16 : 9 to see more of the battlefield. So I changed the resolution in game in the video game settings to a resolution that was 16 : 9 (I think it was 1024x768) and then went to my Nvidia control panel and told my monitor not to scale my resolutions.

As a result the game now plays for me in 16 : 9 (but with those black borders top and bottom of screen).

Hey Papillon I have the exact same VAIO as you!

Whats your avg fps on your resolution setting? I am still downloading the beta client.

Is the fps fine for 2v2 on medium setting? Or doing you use high setting in general.

Wow, that could give a player a huge advantage (if he has a big enough monitor so that units and buildings aren't too small).

And it's not like something that can be spotted during online tourney's like the HDH tournament.

Hello there,

I play Starcraft 2 on my Vaio Laptop, which is a widescreen laptop. Now i can choose between two resolutions, 1024*768 and 1600*900.
I am really wondering why there is no support for a lower widescreen resolution, as i could play smooth at 1280*720 without any slowdowns.
Hopefully, more resolutions will be available on release.
At the moment, the game runs still good on medium settings, but i recognize slowdowns here and there (a radeon hd 4650 with 1gb is my graphic card).
A lower 16 : 9 resolution would be nice and the best way to play smooth without lowering details.
Is it the same for you guys playing on widescreen with so little options to set the resolution?
Or perhaps there might be a way to set the resolution in an *.ini file until they made it appear in the options.

thanks for your time reading this



Actually, as of patch #12, there is support for 1280x720 (there was support for 1360x800 before)

With my HD3450 (256 MB DDR2), I played 1360*800@Low, but with my HD5450 (512 MB GDDR3), I play 1280*720@High, despite losing my overclock when I upgraded GPUs (I suspect power issues, as I changed nothing in the BIOS and I'm running the same OS).

Bad news, fellas

Could someone tell me how to get such a wide screenrange ?
It looks even wider than normal 16.

It is wider than normal, and I'm sure it isn't allowed (if it hasn't been outright FIXED since it was posted).

The advantage it poses is the reason 2560x1440 lets a player see no more than one with 1280x720.
