Default Re: 640x480

I'm going to keep these threads active though the summer.....We kept 640x480 becasue that's what the original game used then we added the higher resolutions and finally desktop when wide-screen monitors became the norm....... BUT to keep all the different resolutions equal we are restricted for text and information placement by 640x480.......we can't put messages beyond that if there are a lot of people using that resolution but personally I don't think there are but I won't know until I ask..this is why all the message info is in the lower and upper left and neither Andy nor I particularly liked the pop up message windows SP3 used as it clutters the main screen



I'm asking questions like this as it's too easy to fall into assumptions based on our experiences with the game which, as developers differs from a players perspective
