bensmith85: 1, Get a better view distance? i keep running into dead ends. Or move party around from the map view?

Only tested this in towns, but when you click on a square of the automap you already discovered, the party is transported there.

Try the scaler : Supersai2x (or something like that). It really smooths stuff out making it less of an eyesore ;-)

Ahh cool, exactly what i was after. I didn't even notice the config file when i was going through the directory.
Set to hq3x and also res 1680 x 1050, much better now... it shrinks the size a bit at the higher res, but it looks more normal as it was too big before

I am not very good at this type stuff, so wold someone be so kind and walk me through the steps to configure DOSBox to run with Arkania please?
I cannot find a configuration file for DOSBox to begin with so I have no clue where to go or what to do.
HELP! please :o)

Ok first you need to find your Realms of Arkania folder this will be where ever you installed it, the defualt path is C:\programfiles\gog\realms of arkania pack\realms of arkania 1 or 2. Once in this folder you will find a file called dosboxrealms1.conf or dosboxrealms2.conf depending on which game you are trying to edit. Open up this file with notepad.
Now to get the same settings as bensmith85 has chosen you just need to change fullresolution=original to fullresolution=1680x1050(this value can be whatever monitor resolution you run it at.
The next setting your looking for is scaler=normal2x under the [render] heading just change that to scaler=hq3x and your good to go.
