Activating Stretch in windowed mode on 3.8

--- Quote from: Lollie on November 23, 2023, 01:29 AM ---I was just pointed this way by h3o, thank you for sharing this! I wanted a way to scale the in-game resolution by 2X (1280x720 in-game, to fit a 2560x1440 screen), and this solved it. Hopefully a future W:A update isn't too far away.
After setting this up, I noticed that the frontend menu was now displaying in a 1280x720 window despite having SuperFrontendHD installed. If anyone else is encountering this, open your Worms Armageddon installation folder, and edit the file "wkSuperFrontend.ini" in Notepad/++. Under [Misc], look for (or if missing, add the line) "Resolution=" and set it to "Resolution=Desktop". This will force the frontend to run at fullscreen resolution again.

This doesn't seem to work for me. I applied the 1440 regedit, then set in-game resolution to 1080p, but it still just changes my monitor to be 1080p when the game starts.

registry entries set what the game needs to be stretched to (which would be your monitor resolution), for things to get scaled, you need to set in-game resolution smaller to your monitor. To do that, you might need to make a custom resolution in your graphics card settings. Keep in mind that this only affects in-game resolution
Also, 1080p stretching to 1440p is not 2x
quarter of 1080p is 960x540 (you need to create a custom resolution of 960x540)
quarter of 1440p is 720p
quarter of 4k is 1080p

Yes this is what I'm doing.

So it has to be whole numbers? In that case hopefully setting in-game resolution to 720p will work to get a stretch to 1440p. Not ideal though, might be better to just play at 1080p.

Ideally yes, otherwise you'll get a stretch that'll cause visual artifacts when moving the camera

this is ideal only if you have a 1440p monitor, as a 2x2 grid of 720p monitors makes up 1440p
