Re: AoE2Wide (wide screen & higher resolutions, by boekabart
Hello, I've been having a small issue with the use of this mod and would like to know if there's a simple fix to my situation.
I run windows 7, and patch 1.0e. I use a dual monitor set-up, and use the 1600x900 screen to play Age2 on. As far as I can tell, none of this should be relevent to the problem.
As some others have said in the last two pages of the topic, running this program on windows 7 can make a horrible mess out of explorer if you alt+tab out of game. Although you can typically resume the game via re-maximization through task manager and then exit normally (which un-suspends explorer), this is not always the case. For example, if I minimize Age2 and then let my computer go to sleep, when I restart it age2 will have crashed and I am forced to shut my computer off manually.
Because I do not require the explorer suspending component of this mod to fix the colour issue, and the suspending causes problems, I would like to know if there is a way that I can run this mod to play Age2 on the enabled resolutions (which look fantastic, by the way) without having to suspend explorer as it automatically does. Thank you for your time and effort.
