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 remember knowing who it was but dont remember exactly what I knew

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

i have 1366x768.

1280x1024
lol, thats almost a square! (5x4)
Dec 30 2013 23:59:44 <StepS> windowed mode isn't the only thing you need about frontend
Dec 30 2013 23:59:49 <StepS> you need it to be actually bigger
Dec 31 2013 00:00:13 <StepS> it actually is very small on my 15-inch full HD screen
Dec 31 2013 00:00:25 <StepS> while running at 640x480 or stretched mode makes it fuzzy
Dec 31 2013 00:00:44 <StepS> this problem has been around since the Worms Armageddon's release and no one has even tried to beat it

Yea StepS, that's what I use too. Here's my monitor: (almost a square)

Due to massive misunderstandings: MonkeyIsland refers to an island not a monkey. I would be a monkey, if my name was IslandMonkey meaning a monkey who is or lives on an island. MonkeyIsland is an island which is related to monkeys. Also there's been a legend around saying MonkeyIsland is a game. So please, think of me as an island or a game.

I rope on 640

don't know any other way
MonkeyIsland, my friend, I know your english is terrible and your understanding of society limited. However, in real life, people attack and humiliate others without the use of a single bad word. They even go to war with lengthy politeness. You can't base the whole moderation philosophy of a community based on the use of bad words and your struggle with sarcasm and irony. My attack to Jonno was fully justified and of proper good taste.

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.)
