Setting Laptop Resolution for DoTA

This was just a handy tip for those who don't like playing DoTA on a stretched screen, like a widescreen laptop.

1)Find out your desktop resolution, or preferred resolution. For example, mine is 1366 x 768. (Because your desktop resolution is usually fine and not stretched.)

2) open "regedit" (registry editor), go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III\Video.

3) Under the "Name column", look for resheight and reswidth, and doubleclick on it to change the values.
Change the base from "hexadecimal" to "decimal", and then enter your screen resolution under "value data", under the respective names(resheight for height, reswidth for width). Finally, click on "hexadecimal" to convert your desired screen resolution into hexadecimal format and press ok.
For me, i changed reswidth from decimal 1024 to 1366.


Hope that's helpful :)
