    Is there any way to run Arcanum in windowed mode to rid of those nasty giant pixels?

    Hi, welcome aboard.

    Giant pixels? What giant pixels? What are your settings? What is your video card? Do you mean the frames that sometimes seem to surround the party members?

    I run in 800 X 600, despite having monitors that can do much better than that.

    Well 800x600 just looks rather streched out on my display... not a huge deal, but I'd prefer it in a window.

    I still don't understand the problem, but then I don't know how to run Arcanum in a window either.

    i dont think that there's a possibility to run it in a window.
    you should try changing the resolution to some bigger one.

    i play in 1024x768 and i have no trouble with the pixels being seen. (i mean i dont even notice them)
    you can also try playing in 800x600 and then just modify your monitor so that it'll fit well on the screen.

    It's a simple matter of taste.
    I'd assume most people would rather have the 'zoomed in' thing (which you get used to in no time) then have to deal with the game not taking up the whole screen. That just drives me batty.
    Unless kyrinn has some freakarse enormous industrial monitor, he has weird taste.

    But when you see screenshots from games, taken at high resolution then scaled down to fit in the ad, they always make the graphics look FANTASTIC
