Is there a command line switch to specify the video resolution for DirectQ (a Quake 1 source port)

Is there a command line switch to specify the video resolution for DirectQ (a Quake 1 source port) - Grayscale Photo of Barbed Wire

I have tried directq.exe -width x -height y which works with some other source ports but not this one. At startup it always defaults to 800x600.

Does anyone know if there is a command line option that works with DirectQ?



Best Answer

Some versions need the color mode as well I think. So try this:

-width 1920 -height 1080 -bpp 32

Where -bpp is either 16 or 32 for 16 bit color, and 32 bit.
