What monitor does the IE games look best on?
The EE look absolutely terrible, not to mention what they did to the glorious grey stone UI. They had some promising modders working on restoring the old look, but then they all got banned for some reason.Play the Beamdog EE.
Looking for CRT emulation programs that help Baldur’s Gate (Any IE Game), Fallout etc have crisp sprites like how it’s supposed to look.
This program can do the scaling + solve the mouse issue: https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/I'm currently playing BG1 Vanilla with this, my monitor is 1920x1080, it essentially doubles the pixels to present a 1280x960 image with black bars around it. The pre-rendered backgrounds do look a bit more pixelated but it looks crisp otherwise. The main issue is that when using mouse scroll you need to scroll all the way to the edges of the screen rather than just inside the box (not sure if there's an option to make the mouse stay in the window), I found decreasing my mouse DPI to 400 made this easier than using a higher number.
Yeah, it's got nothing to do with Steam other than it's being sold there, and it's DRM free. If I remember right, after you buy it, Steam will download some free game and you may think this is where the software is, but it's misleading. It's just a game to demonstrate functionality. You gotta tick the "software" checkbox in Steam to find the program. Took me a while.does it work in non-steam games? (I have W7 x64 too, says min support W8)
Real CRT emulation for resolutions in range 320x200 - 640x480 is impossible until LCD displays reach an "impossible" density of displayed pixels. Then, in theory, it could be possible to implement a shader imitating CRT dot matrix. And it's going to be only a dosbox and emulator thing. Until then, the best you can get with so- called "CRT emulation" is emulation of a crappy TV display.
Can't understand why you guys try to play BG and IWD in the original resolution. Even in 1999 the view was way too narrow. Only the transition to 800 x 600 fixes it. Mods like WeiDU were invented for a reason.
