I apologize for this topic.
However, some very small things spoil the impression from the End-user ...

People are used to change the screen resolution in the game, which is obtained.
But few people will change the desktop resolution..

I gave my four friends my test game, but no one changed the desktop resolution for better gaming

Perhaps it would be good in the future to make the option in stand-alone menu "Change resolution"
It would also reduce the problem with a perfomance! If people could put a screen resolution of 1280 by 800 (for example) ...it might help GameGuru in a review on the Steam.. imho.

PS. Sorry for my english, is it not my native language.

If you enter "disabledynamicres = 1" in the setup.ini your GG will always use native resolution.

That is only true for the dynamic res, which, if performance is an issue, you would imagine better left on. It disables GG's automatic resolution reduction if frame rates drop below 60. If it drops below it halves your resolution. So for performance, leave it at 0 so it continues to do this. Use 1 to force top resolution all the time.

If you want a lower resolution than your desktop by default, you would need to change the width and height settings in the setup file to whatever resolution you prefer. The only problem here is by default the game will run on any monitor, change them to a manual setting and you lose that functionality. You may be able to leave one of the values as -1 for better results and mostly avoid that issue, but I have never actually tried it, so you would have to have a go to be sure It could just fall over.

No way to actually change res in game though, that would have to be added by Lee. You can certainly lower it in the setup file though, for computer lazy friends who expect things just to work

Edit - Oh, if it does fall over, just change your settings back to -1

So you can make a 320x240 retro shooter by changing the system ini settings
