Hey ppl.

I'm not sure what the native res of the game is, but on my 1920x1200 display, it's tiny.

I'm new to GoG so don't know how these things are supposed to work, but how would I go about changing the resolution, if at all possible?

Thanks in advance!

In the folder where you installed the game, there is an application with the GOG icon called graphic mode setup.exe.

Start it, and you can set the resolution you like under advanced settings.

EDIT: Thats how its suppposed to work anyway. When I try to save I get an "Game not installed" error.

Yea, I get that same thing :(

Well, hopefully someone will sort that out. Thanks brother!
Hurm. If I access it from the start menu I can get it to start, but I cant seem to change the resolution anyway.

Yeah, for me I want to play the game windowed at a slightly larger resolution than normal. I can get it to save changes in the graphics setup, but the changes don't seem to affect any change in window size no matter what resolution I choose.

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Theme Hospital

Then open dosboxTH.conf and edit these lines

fullscreen=false
windowresolution=000x000 (whatever number you want)
output = overlay | opengl | openglnb | ddraw (you cant change the window resolution with surface)

You have to use the shortcut in the start menu because it contains a parameter telling the setup program which game it's supposed to be setting up. If you run it directly then it doesn't know which game to target and gives that error.

You could also get corsix-TH. See http://www.gog.com/en/forum/theme_hospital/theme_hospital_and_corsix_th for more info.

My Hero! xD

Worked like a CHARM! I prefer FullScreen and can run this in my native res of 1920x1200, albeit with black borders down the sides... but still, HUGE IMPROVEMENT!

TY BROTHER!

How do i edit the file, dont have any programs that can open it. If i open it with notepad it wont let me save.
You can just open it with notepad. I don't know why it wouldn't let you save. What is it saying?

When I click save it says, cannot create the C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Theme Hospital\dosboxTH.conf file Make sure that the path and file name are correct.

Open Notepad as Admin then open the conf file within Notepad, edit, and save.

Weird, I was able to edit the file but the windowresolution or fullresolution has no effect. But changing fullscreen back and forth from true to false does have an effect.

In the stdout.txt file I have this


"overlay | opengl | openglnb | ddraw" is not a valid value for variable: output.
It might now be reset it to default value: surface


Here is how I fixed it, just separate lines

fullscreen=false
windowresolution = 123x321
output = overlay
output = opengl
output = openglnb
output = ddraw
