16:9 aspect ratio

May 2, 2006 1:18:20 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Playing at 16:9, the main game is fine, but the title screen planet is squashed. Is it a video rather than 3D? If so, would it be possible to show the title on just a portion of the screen to fix it?

Also, the options screen is a bit off 16:9 (bad line breaks).

Just wanted to confrm the 16:9 fat planet. Actually, I thought it was artistic!

It's because the image is just stretched over the whole screen. There really isn't much Stardock could have done about it other than including two potential images for the different aspect ratios or chopping the edges off or something.

 You should see it when playing at 1024X1600. The vertically stretched planet is even uglier

But yeah, the rotating planet is a video. Next game we'll make it a true 3d object and it'll play nicer at different aspects...but for now it'll just be a squishy world.
