Hello. I made this thread to avoid resurrecting my previous one . (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=39055)

I cannot run this game on a resolution of 1440 x 900 . The most I can set it to, is 1360 x 768. This gives me a shabby screen size when playing it.

Is there any fix to this? My native resolution is 1440x 900.

I'm using Windows Vista on a sony vaio laptop. Fully updated game and OS.

Did you set any compatibility options on W:A's shortcut or executable?

If you open Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Adjust screen resolution -> Advanced Settings -> List All Modes, do you see any display mode starting with "1440 by 900, 256 Colors"?

No. Should I ? I have updated it to 3.6.29.0 .

Yes. Check out the attachment to see .

That's very odd - W:A allows me to run it at 1440x900 (as it is also my native resolution).

I have Windows XP and a 7800GS, so it may be an issue related to Vista.

Try manually setting the values DisplayXSize and DisplayYSize in the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team17SoftwareLTD\Worms Armageddon\Options.

...and W:A can run at any resolution as virtual computers can prove.

Using the Registry Editor.

Start, Run, regedit.exe, OK, browse through the keys on the left (they are like folders but not), until you find the right one, edit the items that CyberShadow referenced (DisplayXSize set to 1440, DisplayYSize to 900)
