If I'm not wrong you can do that in glest config file which is placed as hidden in your home directory. You can edit that with a text editor.

[Taras]

Ohh, but i dont know how to edit i dont know programming langvuage

[Artificial Intelligence]

It's not programming language. It's simple setup option just in text form.

Open up a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type:

gksudo gedit /usr/local/games/glest/glest.ini

The last line Windowed should be 0. If so then change the resolution. For example normally I use 1024*768 and 800*600 works well for me. The first one goes to ScreenWidth and the second one goes to ScreenHeight, save the file and give it a go.

How can i chnage the resolution

i dont know what to type in

what do i type in o and then the number

[atomkarinca]

If you opened the file you should see two lines to the bottom: ScreenWidth and ScreenHeight. For 1024*768 resolution you should change ScreenWidth to 1024 and ScreenHeight to 768. As I mentioned earlier Glest may not work fullscreen for your default resolution. So if your default resolution is i.e. 1024*768 then you should change those numbers to 800 and 600, respectively.

This is what i get when i type your command

Just hit Alt+Enter while in game.

This is what i get when i type your command

Then first you should find where glest.ini is located. In the terminal type:

locate glest.ini

[Taras]

Oh tank you, all you had to do is hit alt + enter, but thanks everyone who tried to help i really aprriciate it

thank you again

[Artificial Intelligence]

gedit ~/.glest/glest.ini

Change
Windowed=1
to
Windowed=0

RefreshFrequency=75
ScreenHeight=768
ScreenWidth=1024

can you set which fits your monitor.

In my case it would be

RefreshFrequency=60
ScreenHeight=1050
ScreenWidth=1680

This game looks great but I can't get it in fullscreen mode. If I hit alt+enter it flashes to full screen and then back again. I tried changing the windowed=0 and that has absolutely no effect at all.

Any ideas?

Are your desktop effects (Compiz, Beryl, what have you) on? If so then try running the game while they're off.

[daitheflu08]

That fixed it for me, thanks.

[atomkarinca]

No problem.
