Custom Resolution Menu Windows Problem

Hi guys,

I'm using a 13.3" notebook with a Core 2 Duo 2.1GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, and a dedicated videocard (GeForce Go 8600GS) overclocked.

Despite being able to run the game with high textures, high detail, low fidelity, no shadows, AA off at 1280x800 native at 30+ FPS, when there are A LOT OF MINIONS on the screen, my framerate can start chugging down to the low 20s.

For this reason, I want to lower the resolution to a lower 16:10 aspect ratio (either 1152x720,or 1024x640, or 960x600).

However, trying to lower resolution to anything lower than 720 pixels in height results in window menus such as the shop menus and skillset menus getting cropped (while playing on full screen), with the top portion being cut off. Since they can't be moved, the game is essentially unplayable.

Is there a function in the game.prefs file that controls game menu window heights, in-game, at full screen?

Thanks in advance!

PS : My interest in this game was revived after a long 3-month break, when I got news by Stardock that they are releasing 2 new demigods. Hurra!

Unfortunately the minimum vertical resolution is 720 pixel.

Is there no way to resize the in-game windows to a different resolution, or even fix their positions on the screen (adjusting their X and Y values to move them)?

Yes, in the Game.prefs search for something similar to

Code: c++
Windows = {
    Log = {
        y = 413,
        x = 790
    },
    Main = {
        y = -4,
        x = -4,
        height = 817,
        maximized = true,
        width = 2692
    }
}

(if you are already using windowed mode).

Code: c++
    Main = {
         y = -4,
         x = -4,
         ...
     }

is the top left position of the window while

Code: c++
    Main = {
         ...
         height = 817,
         width = 2692
     }

is... well, the width and height

. Maximized should be set to false if you are using a custom resolution in windowed mode. Make a backup of your Game.prefs before changing anything though.
