Registry Hack for Resolution and better Windows7 compatibility:
As always, editing your registry is dangerous and you do so at your own risk!
- Install Homeworld
- I have the "Game of the Year" Edition. I have not installed any additional patches.
- Go into regedit
- Find key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARESierra On-LineHomeworld" *
- Change "screenHeight" key to your screen height (800 in my case)
- Change "screenWidth" key to your screen height (1280 in my case)
- Make sure the "base" is in decimal
* Key for Windows 7 (64bit): "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeSierra On-LineHomeworld"
PS. I will update out Troubleshooting information with new findings as they appear.
So recently we passed 6.000.000 visits to this site. That's 6 MILLION unique visits. All these good people have so far downloaded the hosted files over 300.000 times. Considering it is over a time span that is fast approaching 20 years, it may not be huge numbers, but keeping this running since January 2005 has not always been without glitches. We were so many more then, and a lot are still active in other channels. Please help me out a bit, if you like what you see and would help me keep this up and running for another 20 years, please consider hitting that button there below and send what you are able to my way. This is the only AD you will ever see on this site.
