For instance, my resolution is 1,366x768.įind the resolution closest to your native resolution (my selection was 1,360x768). I won't guide to this, but it's often found right in the control panel. If you don't know the resolution you are seeking, PLEASE go to your desktop and open your display resolutions. Open 'ZEUS_WIDE!' in that directory and observe the screen resolutions. Be careful to choose the exe as there are other files called 'zeus' or 'Zeus' that are configuration settings, setup info.and an icon. Return to the main directory and move Zeus.exe into the same 'Original Files' (or whatever you called it) folder. My setup was to create a folder called 'Original Files', add 'DATA' (mirroring the actual directory), and move the JPG from the actual DATA into that folder. If you wish to create a backup of the files, create a folder inside the Zeus/Poseidon directory and move all JPG files inside into that folder. Set Windowed mode to force the game to run in a window as well (this caused problems for me on the menu screen when I tried it there, so I strongly advise doing it on a non-menu screen as it should hopefully conform from there). This is the display setting that will be replaced in future steps, and it might be better to start up in the resolution once you have it ready. There should be an Options menu click it and select Display Options. Get to a gameplay screen and check the top of the screen for menus. Start the game in the native resolution, which is either 800圆00 or 640x480. Follow this list of steps:ĭownload the following file: (anyone who wishes to mirror the file please do also, WinRAR WILL open this type of file, so you don't need to get 7Zip). Let's get the game working nicely for you if it isn't.

So if you're trying to play windowed with a widescreen fix, use a resolution that is smaller than that of your monitor! (Unable to say if this is 100% correct, but it feels right haha.I decided to reinstall Zeus/Poseidon yesterday and download a batch of custom campaigns from the Zeus Heaven (Heaven Games) site, which are all part of a series of missions I last played on a desktop. I believe the game attempts to set windowed mode within the constraints of the monitor it is on, and if it's too large, says it can't do it. Turns out 1920x1080 DOES work in windowed.

I believe I found the issue! Trying to run the game on my 2560x1440 monitor, the corresponding resolution patch works fine in full screen but not in windowed. Quick note, I MUST have changed the resolution the patch was at, that's all that really makes sense haha. I didn't even reboot my computer since the last time I played! Very strange stuff, so still looking for an actual solution to this.

If anyone else is having issues with windowed mode after installing things, it's probably the unofficial patch from there.Īfter a full day of enjoying things working correctly, I'm back to my initial issue where the game gives me an error when trying to enter windowed mode ('can't set windows mode' or something). Looks like the issue was the unofficial patch I installed from the Heaven Games website, which is also where I grabbed the widescreen patches. Plus, windowed mode always makes it easier to jump back over to my other monitor to whatever I've got going on over there. My biggest problem with running the game in fullscreen is that I have 2 monitors (mismatched, if it matters) and every time I launch the game, it messes with the resolutions for everything and moves windows around, un-maximizes things, sometimes pushes windows off of all my screens, etc. Or, put another way, I NEED the game to be in windowed mode, and I really WANT the game to have a higher resolution. Ideally I would love to patch the game to either 1920x1080 or 2560x1440, then continue to run the game in windowed mode where it will stretch the game assets to whatever the window's size is, just like it does with a vanilla install.

Been fiddling with this for the last few hours and can't seem to get things working quite the way I want.
