This may be in the wrong forum, so forgive me if it is but: Is there any way to play RS in a bigger resolution without changing my desktop's appearance settings? I really hate having to squint to read anything, but don't want to have to change my resolution every time I want to play RS. Anyone have any info on this? I play on windows vista, on 1280x1024 Resolution if it matters.

Try using a different web browser like firefox. Maybe that'll help.

Yeah, actually I forgot to mention that I'm using FireFox. Is there anyway to change the display settings of RS that I don't know about? :U

Hmmmm im not sure :?

I don't know of a way to do that other than using my laptops zoom option. But the quality is horifically bad so I wouldn't recomend it.

Oh i know try swift switch.

Hrmm, maybe i'll try Swiftswitch. Thanks. :)

I've alwys played RS on 800x600 as you say it's annoying 'cos that's the only time I use that low a resolution, but it only takes about 2 seconds to change resolution, not that big a problem. It's the only way I can get it to fill the whole screen lowering it to the lowest resolution my monitor allows.

I always play on 800x600 resolution (I'm always on 800x600)

 

 

 

Why do you want the game to be smaller?

I don't want the game to be smaller, I want my resolution to be set to Windows Vista's default, because it's the one that's most comfortable for me to look at. I don't want to set it to 800x600 because it makes everything look blurry and large.

it's the nly reasolution that runescape fills the screen, runescape doesn't look any different just bigger because the resolution is very low. yeah windows does look bad.

Your resolution has nothing to do with Vista but a combination of your video card and your monitor. I'm on Vista however my maximum resolution is only 1024x768 cause I have a rubbish Monitor :(

 

 

 

The only one to make Runescape "bigger" is to put it in 800x600 like people have already stated.

you cannot make the acctual game window larger because that would give you a "unfair advantage"

 

 

 

if the res of the jagex window was larger, i'd play on my monitors full 1680x1050 res, instead of the smaller 1440x900 -.-

 

 

 

i wish there was a fix for this from jagex, but i doubt it, because i think there is a maximum output resolution of the java window.

 

 

 

so, unless they program their game engine in some other language, we're SoL.

The game will always display in 800 x 600 resolution.

 

 

 

You can only change your own settings to make that 800 x 600 window either fill the screen or take up some fraction of your screen real estate.

I use to make my window bigger when lying on my bed. The screen was further way so needed to be bigger =p

 

 

 

If you lower your screen's resolution the runescape window will take up more of your screen.
