Hello,

after not playing Links for some years I am back to this beautiful game again now (started with the very first Links).

I have managed to run the game in Windows 1680x1050 resolution. This is the only way it works so far, after trying all the tips from this forum.
My System: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, , Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super and Windows 10 21H1.

I would be happy if you have a hint for me how to get the 1920x1200 resolution to work. Thanx.

Can your monitor display 1920x1200? Both your video card and your monitor have to be able to display your chosen resolution. Also, I couldn't find a full list of the 1920x resolutions your Nvidea card can do, but I did find a site that recommended 1920x1080 for it in the 1920x range.

Hello,

my monitor can disply 4K. But I don´t get Links to work on 1920x1200 resolution. I have tried the voodoo 3Dfix and the registry settings.

From what I've read, the best you can get with Links on a 4K monitor is 1920 x 1080. To confirm this we would need to know the native resolution of your monitor. I suspect it is 3840 x 2160.

Hello,

If you have installed the Nvidia patch, you can use the registry editor in Windows to find the resolution for the game here
to adjust.

Looks like you need to try some other resolutions.

no that's not it, looks so similar in all resolutions.

For me it looked like that, I think you can't make the settings for the resolution in the game. If I do it via the registry editor as admin, then I see the whole picture, Patch 1.07 and Nvidia Patch must be installed.
