Any chance to play in 800x600?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I have a laptop which only supports 800x600 - is there a chance to get the game running on it?

the game will play at 800x600, but the UI will be all messed up. If you realy wanted to make it work you could go through and modify all the screens.

well, i get this error message (minimum 1024x768...), click ok and the screen stays black.

if the laptop is connected to an external monitor with 1204x768, it works... so the resolution seems to be the problem.

what do you mean by saying the UI is messed up? can you start the game in 800x600?

Could you post your debug.err file (loacated in the GC2 directory)? I am wondering how your display devices look like and what is the game using as default display.

No, it won't. I tried playing at less than 1024x768, and I had incredible instability. As in it would intermittantly crash when openning various screens.
