I have a 1440x900 LCD and a 1600x1200 CRT.  I only run FS2_Open on the CRT.

Re: Poll: What resolution are you running Freespace on?
went 1024x768 but a quick check shows i must have bumped it to 1280x1024 at some point which is the highest resolution the launcher will let me set, so probably a technology limitation

1440x900. My monitor has a tendency to ***** when I don't run things at that res.

1080p. Shame my graphics card isn't really strong enough to support that resolution for any other game on this laptop.

Re: Poll: What resolution are you running Freespace on?
Speaking of resolutions, I find it amusing that the self-listed "native" resolution of my CRT is 1280x1024, despite it being a standard 4:3 screen.  I even measured the screen dimensions myself to confirm it. :p

Re: Poll: What resolution are you running Freespace on?
Although I have 1680x1050 LCD, I'm running FSO at 1280x800, the smallest it can go with that aspect ratio.
I noticed there's no real improvement in visuals on a smaller resolution, but preformance does improve.
It gets annoying when error checking though (any error that pops up causes FSO to minimize, which in turn causes the display to return to the native resolution, which takes a while).

1280x720, and occasionally 1600x900.

Try 'Run in window' in the Launcher's Dev Tool flags, that'll help.

Re: Poll: What resolution are you running Freespace on?
I use the 1388x768 when the mission I'm playing doesn't make my computer mad. Else, I use 1024x768 windowed to have better performance (I think about some Blue Planet missions above all ^^)

My graphic card isn't very powerful, and my dream is to run freespace open with ALL graphic options activated  :nod: it's so wonderful with normal maps, 3d shockwaves and advanced graphics...   :(

1600 x 1200 here (for single player), on a screen recovered from a trashcan  :lol: so the remanence effect is a little bit strong, that's an old screen...

And 1440 x 900 on the LCD screen of the laptop I use for Internet and multiplayer.
Never far away from HLP and from a computer with an installed FreeSpace.

1388x768...?

You don't mean 1366x768 by any chance?

Re: Poll: What resolution are you running Freespace on?
If I had seen this poll before this morning, I would have voted 1024x768, but now that I'm using the latest nightly build, which features a widescreen HUD, I now play FS2 at 1280x800 - the maximum resolution my MacBook is capable of.

Re: Poll: What resolution are you running Freespace on?
He's most likely using three 1920x1200 monitors.
I imagine it caused streching problems untill recently, but it's a possible, if expensive and performance hungry solution.
There was something that allowed multi munitor support in FSO (eyefinity, perhaps?), it pops up on the SCP board from time to time.

Yes, I am.  The two side monitors are rather distorted, but they're meant to be used as peripheral vision, not looked at directly, so it doesn't matter as much as you might think.  Both eyefinity and NVSurround (which I use) work in FSO; what they do is model all three monitors as one giant one.

Re: Poll: What resolution are you running Freespace on?
I am running on nVidia FX 5200, so 1280*1024. I may be the lover of old technology but i like 4:3 much more than 16:9. Prehaps because i often read something on the computer and i have larger portion of the text, i dunno.
