Post SO4 on Netbook
Is it possible to run SO4 on a netbook computer?

At present when I start a game the top and bottom of screen are cut off.

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

When you start the game mate there should be an option saying Full Spec. Click on that and click enable window mode not full screen. quit the game for this to take effect and when you restart it should be window mode which you can adjust to fit your screen. Hope this helps :lol:

There have been an increasing number of requests regarding netbooks so I am hoping to add netbook screen modes to the next patch as a free update.

The modes will be 1024x576 and 1024x600. These two modes cover the vast majority of netbooks.

I expect a beta patch to be made available in two or three weeks. These computers are fairly low spec so there is a possibility of game slowdown but testing so far has seen the game run up to speed.
