Little poll: screen size/scaler

[Andrea B Previtera]

I'm curious about what screen size/scaler do you usually use in Exult.

This kind of curiosity ensued because I tried to play Exult at 1280x1024 and the world suddenly semt so small, not only in terms of appearance: everything was easier to sort out, I never got that eerie "I am lost" feeling. Then I moved to 320x200, the original resolution, and the original feel was suddenly restored: so I wonder if the "close camera" view is important for the world to look larger and more mysterious, or is it just my memory of the first time I played Ultima VII to do the trick.

I play at 400x300 with a scaler. Running too high a resolution doesn't really help in the game, not to forget that it might cause bad things, especially in SI.

I run at 320x240 with no scaler at all.

I agree that 320x200 is the way to play, with one of the better 2X scalers to smooth things out.

[Andrea B Previtera]

No 3X or 4X scalers or - even better - a dynamic windows resizing to be expected in the near future for 1.4?

Hmmzzz I play the game in the origional resolution, heh like I told everyone in my prev post I like to play the game in its most origional state as possible... soooo 320 200 is the way to play.

Either windowed mode 400x300 with 2x scaler or 320x240 full screen with 2x scaler. I would really like to see a 3x scaler, though, for playing in windowed mode without a larger resolution.

I run 320x200 windowed X2 Super2xSai when I'm 'playing the game'. I'd run fullscreen but my Laptop's widescreen LCD doesn't do SDL or DirectX graphics less than 640x480. When I'm just fiddling I crank it up to 1920x1200 1X Point. I also use other 16:10 modes such as 640x400, 848x480 and 1280x800 on occasion. These mode require editing the exult.cfg file directly.

Like most other people who have commented, I generally run at 320x200/240 with the Super2XSai scaler on. This is an important res for development also, since the resolution determines the way conversation text is wrapped (and hence where you place manual breaks in a conversation).

I'm also a fan of 400x300, but any higher than that and you definitely lose the Ultima VII feel, as the original poster observed.
