Is there any way to change the ingame resolution without going through the menus?

I want to set it to 800x600 but I haven't found any way to do it.

I cannot do it ingame as my screen doesn't support anything over 800x600 and a refresh rate of 50hz so basically I can't see anything when I load it up.

This is not a GFX card problem, nor a CPU problem, I just need to change the resolution.

Thanks in advance.

buy a new monitor. your monitor only supports 800x600(as you've stated) so only that resolution is available as an option.

If only life was so easy... are you saying that the game only runs in 1024x800?

That is pretty stupid if you ask me as even Doom3 runs on my computer at 800x600 and lower... and, visually, that is a pretty powerful engine.

This would have to be the first game I have ever owned, played or even seen that will not run in 800x600.

Your not serious, are you?

Nevermind, I've figured it out.

For all those wondering how, if any (x_X), all you have to do is right click on the icon, select properties and then in the target line, which should be something like

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"

, all you have to do is add

Code:

-windowed

at the end, like this:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -windowed

(Note it is outside of the " 's with a space.)

Running it windowed restricts the game resolution as windows cannot run at any thing higher than 800x600.
I have, however, noticed some of the sounds are a little bit jumpy... and the cutscenes are a little jumpy too.
But I've gotten used to it and barely notice anymore.

Well, thanks anyways guys and I hope if anyone needs help in this way to point them here =)
