HomeWorld - HomeWorld Cataclysm very High Res !

[Babasior]

Hi all,

I want to use HW1 - cataclysm with high resoltion ( 1920 by 1200)

So i have found how to change in registry valu to have this kind of resolution (here : http://www.widescreengamingforum.com...topic.php?t=55 ), but i need your help, because i have a problem :

I can only use OpenGL (in NT4 Compatibilty) with this resolution and picture is not good (because it's like a 16 bits colors in galaxy background)
Black and white animations have bad line during play ...

I want to use D3D, (because no need compatibility - and picture quality seem to be better and better with my card : Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS 512 Mo), but i can't have a picture more than 1600 by 1200 .... in 1920 x 1200 picture doesn't work correctly ?

Anyone use these games in these resolutions without problem ?
How to do that ?

Thanks by advance for your answers !

there should be more registry settings in there that will let you use 32 bit just do a little exploring.

I have 32 bits in registry key ...

But picture is like 16 bits color :

[ORCACommander]

very strange. post dxdiag please. also have you tried other custom resolutions?

That's not 16 bit colour.

My résolution is 1920 x 1200 32 Bits Color, Cataclysm.exe compatibilty mod NT4 - OpenGL settings in catalyst ...

I had try in 1600 x 1200 Direct 3D driver with no compatibilty mod (same thing)
In direct 3D i can't have a resolution more than 1600 x 1200, because when i use custom resolution 1920 x 1200, picture is bad on side, with mouse busy ... And menu is not at the good position....


OS type Windows XP SP3 (Directx 9.0c november 2008)

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512 Mo (Driver ForceWare 182.08 and 182.46 bêta for try ...)

That screenshot's not illustrating a problem however.

That looks like Cataclysm normally does.

Now, the menu issue, you should try the -nofastfe and -triple command line switches.

About frigate Trail :

is it normal ? i don't remember in past ( 2001 - 2002 year), if this trail was like this ?


Edit :
I have found the problem : it's an HomeWorld Cataclysm Game Option ...

Picture is nice now ...
