Title: Resolutions
Post by: Conny on November 19, 2012, 12:59 AM
So guys, what res do you guys play with?
Also, is it best to play at maximum res always or what's your reasoning with that?

Personally I can't play on max res.. I've been debating if I should try and get used to it or not.

Depends on the size of your display. If you have 24" plus, you should go for 1920x1080. I have a 22" display and it's a bit tiny when i use 1920, so i play with 1600x900 which is great too. But with 1920, you have a view over a whole standard map, which gives you a great overview. Generally i would say, the higher resolution, the better.

I play at 1680x945 on a 18.4" widescreen monitor. But yeah it totally depends on your monitor and personal preference. I know Mablak used to play RR on a very small resolution like 800x600, don't know if he actually still does. It's about what res you feel most comfortable with. :)

I use 1024x768, it's too small for bng and too big for ttrr, so it's best it can be xD

yeah Darkz, what I've noticed if smaller resolution than better rope control in ttrr and faster tap. You see everything better and more clearly, so you see when exactly you should make a tap.
Check it and try for yourself ;)

I play on 1920x1080 on a 25" screen.
The overview is very good, but I can't see every detail everytime, so a bit lower reso would be perfect for defaults I guess. But I got used to it, so I wont change it, heh :D
Or I should buy a bigger screen xd

How do U have 1600x900?!?! I have 1920x1080 and next one is 1400x1050..

Btw, I got new monitor recently and it's 23''.. I'm trying to get used to 1920, but I'd like to try 1600...

It depends on your monitor, and the supported resolutions, what is showing up in Worms. If your monitor doesn't support 1600x900 it won't show up i think.

I play 1920x1080 on a 23'' but I started playing with a ridiculous small res for battle race challenges

But it's 16:9, why wouldn't he support it? It's this one: http://www.dell.com/ed/business/p/dell-u2312h/pd (http://www.dell.com/ed/business/p/dell-u2312h/pd)

I rope on 640

don't know any other way

I roped on smaller resolutions before, and it feels better but after I switched back to higher resolutions and watched the replay with it it actually looked the same. I believe it's mostly a placebo effect because you "feel" the speed more. (Screen moves rapidly etc.)

well i had two huge CRTs before, one was 1024x768 and the other was 1280x1024. ye, much of a square, and a damn heavy box but it had 120 Hz  :-* good old times when one is cooler having a bigger refresh rate  8) otherwise it makes eyes bleed.
an LCD later i believe was also 1280x1024, but now it's my grandpa who uses it

but that's actually not a point. 1280x1024 is 5:4, which is more of a square than 4:3. kinda locks you down if you want to keep aspect ratio and select the other one. i wonder why was 5:4 even needed... 1280x960 could go well as 4:3
Title: Re: Resolutions
Post by: Statik on November 21, 2012, 10:22 AM
why do you think 1280x960 is better? 1280x1024 have the bigger square (more pixels), and mathematically a square has a bigger square than a rectangle :D (with equal diagonal), but I'd like to have a big wide screen.

well, because we keep aspect ratio 4:3 without stupid stretches or cuts if we want an other resolution

Exactly!! I thought the same when I played in a very high res, everything felt super slow.
