Learning Direct3D is a challenge, but it really adds another dimension to your programming.

OK, I'm just annoyed after buying a whole load of different games on Steam over the last few days and having to change the resolution in every single one of them the first time I start. Maybe Windows should have some global prefs for games at least.

Also... maybe back in the day cards weren't very fast, but my current card (an 8800GT - ancient by current standards) can run any game I've got at the full native resolution of my monitor (2048x1152). Maybe you wouldn't want to play the game at that speed but it'll run fast enough to allow you use the menus to switch to a lower rez.

We're all running Windows now - surely Windows knows what resolution the desktop is running at when the game starts?

Here's a question for game developers even though it's not really material for GDSE: Why do PC games always start up for the first time at some random resolution instead of my monitor's native resolution?

A new week. I wonder what MMO-related questions it will bring...

Plz send me teh codez to make game liek wow lol
