how to force higher resolution??

not sure how to do it. but i run a 1280 X 800 or sumthing and archlord only lets me run a 1024 X w/e. so i need help on how to force a higher resolution.

i know my friend use to do that stuff with a .dll but he never taught me n i havnt talked to him in a while.

Unfortunately, the maximum resolution on an LCD serves a good purpose - if you set it higher, just as with a CRT, there is a possibility of damage to the monitor and almost a guarantee of it not working. LCDs in particular shouldn't be set to anything other than their recommended (normally max. too) resolution because LCDs are digital, and would have to upscale or downscale to get the different resolution to fit onto the existing number of pixels, which invariably results in a loss of quality.

or are u talking about a full-hd screen or something?

yea widescreen....but shouldnt matter i know a few ppl with widescreen who play andlooks good. but thx for help ill try it out soon n let u know. in middle of farming a neck of surv -_-

and i know about the setup at patcher. that is how i know archlord only runs a 1024 X 768 or w/e

update: doesnt look like it worked...my inventory n storage look fucken huge O_o

update: messing with it. looks ALOT better but for some reason its to tall from top to bottom. gonna try n redit again.

ok, i now see why u asked if i run widescreen LOL. any ideas for that newbb?

cant see the bottom of my screen. load bar, skill bar , etc on screens

My archlord gives option for 1024*1200 / 1280*1024 / 1600*1200

If i select 1600*1200 with window mode ON when i click start i get a "Device Selction" window pop up asking what graphics card i wanna use and what Resolution. (if i dont have windowed selected game launches without asking)

The options i get here are

1280 * 1024 * 32 Window

Then 16 + 32 bit Fullscreen resolutions of
640 * 480
720 * 480
800 * 600
848 * 480
960 * 600
1024 * 768
1088 * 612
1152 * 864
1280 * 720
1280 * 768
1280 * 800 <<
1280 * 960
1080 * 1024
1360 * 768
1600 * 900
1600 * 1024
1600 * 1200

ok .

I'm using native resolution : 1600 x 1200.
When u want to play in Wide i think there is a command to type : /Wide (or someting same).
