Needing help on Maximizer.

[Jesmo]

Hi all. I'd just like to ask how to set up the resolution thing so the game actually looks decent enough to play? I am dual-boxing, one computer and two accounts at the moment and when I use the guide to set-up maximizer, the two copies look pretty funky and I cant even read the quest texts or anything. Here is a screenshot, http://img175.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotiw2.png

You need to calculate the proper aspect ratio. The areas typically need to be 4:3, which means the width of the areas needs to be one third longer than the height. If you want two areas to have the proper aspect ratio and not overlap on a normal 4:3 monitor there is going to be some unused space around the areas. I'm guessing ...

I failed math. :|

When you find the best height for your area you multiply it with 1.33 to find the width. That way the width of your area becomes a third longer than the height.

As an example, if you find out that a good height is 400 pixels you multiply it with 1.33. Then you know the width of the area which is 532 pixels. (400*1.33=532)

The other way around if you find a good width for your area is 532 (using the same numbers) and you need to find the height, you divide instead of multiplying. (532/1.33=400)

For every 3 pixels in height you need 4 pixels in width.

If you can turn your monitor sideways, split the screen in half that way (1 on top, 1 on bottom).
If not, you may want to just have one large window, and one smaller window.
Just make sure to keep their aspects the same so they will change over quickly if you use PiP.

Alright, thanks both of you. I managed to put it just right for me now :thumbsup:
