At last I bought a new monitor. Dell 2007FP; 20", 1600x1200@60, 6 ms g2g, 16 ms b2b, S-IPS panel; about 504 euros (126 000 forint) Somewhy it is easy to notice compression errors with this screen. The noise my camera generates on the images is noticeable. Poorly compressed videos are a nightmare (okay, I shouldn't watch 320x240 videos on the 1600x1200 screen :lol
Ya, the monitor is nice, but I like my totally awesome-video card - MSI Geforce NX7950GT. Real sweet.
Given everything else I see in that picture, all you need now is a combo recliner/toilet and you wouldn't have to get up all day.
That's my coffee equipment. Actually, my room is pretty tidy at the moment. It is MUCH cleaner compared to my sister's or mother's.
I bought the 24" widescreen Dell monitor a few months ago and I think it has been the best computer purchase I have ever made, short of rebuilding an entirely new computer.
Arcanum doesn't want to work with my new monitor; There are black lines between tiles, and right-click doesn't work in the inventory. Any idea how the monitor affect Arcanum ?
i know my new monitor stretches everything (damn widescreen), so i'm still fiddling with my settings... no idea on your problem, though.
Well Arcanum only runs in 800x600 (which is why I kind of regret buying a 1280x1024 monitor), but your monitor is 1600 x 1200, so that should work fine, 1 Arcanum pixel should equal 4 monitor pixels. What kind of lines are these lines, anyway? How do they look?
It's software or driver related, but I don't really know why it is happening. It was perfectly fine with the other monitor but the same video card, the same driver and basically the same settings. Black or white lines at ground tiles, transparent lines at buildings. Tried safe mode, it's okay, but the right moust button still does not work.
The lines kind of reminded me of the lines you get on the sis gfx driver under linux. What I'm noticing though is that the distance between the lines match perfectly with the length of 1x wall unit in WorldEd, so I'm thinking texture related, but I honestly don't know.
Didn't this happen before? Someone should look through the Arcanum Discussion and Hints and Tips forums. Because I seem to remember this error and that it involved Xz.
You can actually have your monitor not stretch stuff into forced widescreen through settings on the actual monitor. It should be somewhere in the on-screen interface (unless you have a crappy monitor or something). It'll still take up the entire vertical size of your screen, but it won't stretch it so it looks really fat and wide. Like my ass.
