Interface & 3D Resolution

[nominesine 0]

Can someone please explain the difference between these two settings:

Interface resolution and 3D resolution

What do they do and how are they related to each other?

interface resolution is the resolution you'll see on screen

3D resolution is the resolution used to render 3D world before adapting it to the interface resolution

[flake 10]

it makes sense to keep them the same. sometimes mine changes by itself :/

I find this quite an odd option to give us, it looks terrible when not at 1:1 ratio and also doesn't seem change performance by more than 3-4 FPS. Maybe the gains would be better with lower end hardware.

To stop your settings changing, make your Arma2.cfg "Read Only"

i have made it read only

and the game still changes them so they are both different; the result is horrid.

this game would be great without the important graphical problems!

cheers

i read on forum it's better to put higher resolution for the screan and lower for the 3d.

it's working very nice for me.

A higher 3d resolution (above 133 percent) can be a good alternative to AA which might use more system resources.

This is a very useful option.

You can run the HUD and user interface at high resolution to make control, maps and menus easier to use.

You can reduce the 3D resolution independently if you encounter performance problems.

You can increase the 3D resolution to obtain higher a quality anti aliasing if your system can handle it.
