Post CC Lower Resolution
I've been trying to play CC at a lower resolution, but so far the game gets all ♥♥♥♥ up if I lower it any further than 520x390. When I try and click on something on the menu or anything, it makes the clicking sound but stays at the main menu. Any particular reason this may be? Does it matter that I have it on 3X window?

Does it work with one times window? If yes, then having it on 3x window is a problem.

Tried it, still didn't work at all - apparently Geti has it working on 400x300, and he prefers it like that, I guess I'll just wait for him to respond. Unless one of you wise people knew, of course.

Well it mainly works for me, so I don't know what your problem is. Though I couldn't get the start mission button to work for the campaign missions.

Yeah, I play 400x300, though having recently had a play with it on my main box (nostalgiaaaaa) there were some menu issues, especially with the play mission button in the campaign :/ I'll see if I can get any leads on why that is, but try all the usual tricks (compatibility modes, clicking out of the window and clicking back in, hitting q before doing anything and whatnot). It's quite frustrating when things like that happen, and when the game is all finicky about what works and what doesn't it really doesn't help. Also someone on the dev team get Dan to put in keyboard control in menus kthx.

What are you running your copy of CC on

#1 - Native rez of your screen?
#2 - speed and type of cpu?
#3 - what OS?

Tad of a necro, but I have a 2.4ghz quadcore (hope that's enough, I know jack about my computer) running Vista 64 bit, and my native resolution is 1920x1200.

there is this nifty way of getting your specs.
been in windows for a long time.
win ME or so.
make a textfile.
rename the textfile to
something.nfo
the extension ".nfo" is most important as it will load the file in a windows app that when given a empty file like this , will make a detailed info sheet about your system.
as normally you would load a saved file to check someone elses specs i guess.
i bet there is a command to run it but i have no clue

it's not the same as when you get full info.

for example type in your run promt.

"msinfo32" without the quotes. that should bring you there aswell.
