How to force Civ 5 resolution on Linux?
Civilization 5 insists that I can only set portrait-style resolutions (such as 1200x1920), presumably since one of my screens is in that mode. I would like to be able to play in landscape mode, as originally intended. I tried setting the game to windowed mode and and setting the resolution in ~/.local/share/Aspyr/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/GraphicsSettingsDX9.ini:
WindowResX = 1920
WindowResY = 1280
FullScreen = 0
However, when I start the game it resets to 1024x1280, and overwrites my settings. I assume since complex multi-monitor setups are possible, this should be no problem at all.
