They appear as the engine allows them too your desktop resolution is higher than the one RTW was thought in mind with 1024x768 (not 100% sure though).

They do show up similar when I play.

Well that worked, reset the game res to 1024x768x32 the gfx are perfect!

So the game will not run on higher res's without gfx distortion?????

I love having high resolution, so I always have crappy looking UI pictures too. :embarassed:

But switching to 1024*768 screen res might stretch things a bit as well...

Hence: what I do is adding the -ne switch to the target line, the one that reads

"...\RomeTW.exe" -mod:eb -nm -show_err"

So mine reads now:

"...\RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -nm -show_err -ne"

In the video options I specifiy the resolution as 1024*768 for both campaign & battle with a 32bit instead of 16bit colour pallete.

-ne runs it windowed so if your desktop is higher than your in-game resolution you will run it windowed if it's the same you'd get the toolbar to pop up if you click the bottom part of the screen... I don't get it Tellos.
