Quote: "Since I can choose between low, medium and high. However, the selection has no influence on the resolution. No matter which resolution I choose, it always stays with the low representation. Can someone explain that to me?"
Those settings have nothing at all to do with resolution, that's why they don't change your resolution. They're for the graphics quality, it used to be a big visual difference, but now it's been optimised better it hardly notices, those settings change various settings like the render quality of terrain, entities, grass etc.
Quote: "I dont think at the moment there is support for 4k in GG, a dialog box in test game and standalone to enable selection of screen resolution to test and play GG games would be a great addition."
In the menu scripts there are sections that define resolutions and which resolution GG, mainly so it can choose which resolution menu images it uses, so i would assume that some sort of resolution menu could be scripted. Whether you can force a different resolution, or those commands only detect resolution, i don't know.
