Q: 64bit and excotic display resolutions

[ukognos]

Hello Wildfire Community,

At first, many thanks for your amazing work. I was an AoE 2 fan and i'm really looking forward to playing your game .

But i've two questions:

Will this game support the 64 bit linux platforms

and does it support excotic display resolutions like 1400x1050?

thanks for your attention

I think it will be able to support Linux, but I didn't pay attention to resolution.

Plus here we call it AoK (For Age of Kings )

Linux is supported and I am fairly certain that higher resolutions are supported.

This is the archived newspost.

It would be cool if you could enter any old resolution like you can in Glest. I really loved that game filling up my larger-than-normal (though not massive) screen.

Good news: the game currently runs on 64-bit Linux, but the Win32 environment is our main development platform and sees more testing.

It is also possible to choose an arbitrary resolution via config file; we'll see whether the in-game options menu will be operational before going alpha.

Great News

and will there be distribution independent packages of the alpha release available, beside the ones for ubuntu?

i can't bear waiting anymore

That's still an open question, our capability to do so is fairly limited (we only have a few developers using Linux). It's possible that the alpha release would be in source-code form and require compilation.
