Maximum Resolution?

[Bane]

What do ppl think will be the maximum resolution HL2 can be run at? Higher than 1600x1200 32bit?

1900xNo one knows yet ask me on 30th September.

I remember RtCW, I could choose 2048xSomething. But the game crashed...

 

[Chicky]

ask one of the valve guys

 

[Tropico]

isnt that because of your monitor?

 

[Loke]

I remember when I choosed 2048x1800 (something in that style) in Quake III Arena. Thought "Ahh! Shit! My eyes!".

my god man what the ****? Any game for the past 2 years could bump 2048x1940x32 easier than it would be to get your mom in bed.

it still amazes me why anyone would want a higher res then 1152x864...you know the hud is part of the game, now if you cant see it.....duuuuuuuuuur

i see it perfectly anything below 1600x1200 looks pixelated for me.

1152 is not a standard resolution, itll make your shit all streched slightly. So circles wont look quite like circles. 1280x1024x32 is my pimpjuice. Tho I bump warcraft 3 at 1600x1200x32. If you do anything lower the units looks all, edgy.

 

[Ridic]

then you have a weird monitor....everything is the same at 1024x768 - 1600x1200 except font and hud sizes etc

 

[ValVed RaY]

no, if you run a big monitor 1600x1200 is minimun.
considering in a 17inch or lower yes 1024x768 or 100000x10000 wont make a difference. except for your whole system crashing.

 

[Ridic]

i think mine might be 20" with 18" view.

buddy my shit is 22" 21" viewable. So obviously my shit looks wierd at lower res since the monitor is so big, MR 17".

 

[Ridic]

jesus christ lets all go freak out about monitor sizes

Wow, are you serious! I cant see pixelation at any res above 1152*864

Anyways, Im sure HL2 will support resolutions at least 1600*1200
