rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 Angry Birds has been a massive hit. I'm sure even the developer of the game did not see that coming. It has been the number one selling app - app, not game - on the App Store across the world. It is considered to be the No. 1 game across all platforms in 2010 by a lot of people and we are sure it single-handedly contributed to a lot of iPhone and iPod touch sales. The game has now become an international phenomenon and there are very few smartphone users who haven't wasted precious hours playing Angry Birds. While the game is still restricted to smartphones, there are a lot of people out there who are yet to find a new way to waste time just because they don't have a smartphone. So how can Rovio, the developer of Angry Birds, reach them? Enter Angry Birds for the desktop computer. The Mac version of Angry Birds went live with the Mac App Store on January 6 and the Windows version too went live on the same day and is available on Intel's AppUp center, an application store dedicated to netbooks and notebook computers. The desktop version of the game is priced at $9.99 (Rs. 453 approx) on both the platforms, but is available at an introductory price of $4.99 (Rs. 226 approx). Angry Birds on desktop is basically the exact same game as the one on mobile. You get the same number of levels and every thing else is the same too. The only thing that is different is the way you play the game. On the mobile version you drag the birds with your fingers and then release them. On the desktop version you use a mouse or trackpad to do that. With the mouse you press and hold on the bird and drag it back with left click and then release it. But it gets better on MacBooks with the multi-touch trackpad. You don't have to press but just place your finger on the trackpad and drag it back and then release it. You can also zoom in and out by using pinch to zoom on the trackpad, but if you have a Windows machine or use a mouse then you would have to use the scroll key to zoom. Initially it feels weird to play if you are used to playing on a mobile, but soon you will start appreciating the added real estate offered by the large display of a computer or a netbook. Also, because of the larger screen, you can also zoom out all the way and have the entire game in your field of view, which makes playing a lot easier, without making everything too small. If you are playing with a mouse you can be really fast and blaze through the initial levels at lighting speed. The game scales very well on the higher resolution displays. We tried the game on the 1366 x 768 resolution display of the 11-inch MacBook Air as well as a 1920 x 1080 display on a Windows PC and the game looks great on both. However, there are small problems such as, the grass and the background have a low resolution and do not scale properly on larger displays. But they are minor things and don't really stand out unless you decide to find them.

raccoon 53 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Enjoy.... Also dont miss Australian Open on Star Sports; its ON right now and Sania is leading her 1st round match with Henin... This one isn't working on my PC. Tried moving the dll to windows/system32 and even changing the res. in to config file to match that of my monitor. No joy. I'v discovered that the ads in the Android version are what is making the game sluggish. In some scenarios its so sluggish, that its not worth playing at all. Turning off data makes the game go smoother for sure as the ads don't display, but I don't want to keep toggling like that every time. Is there any other solution?

This is the error I get - "Texture is too large: 2048x2048, maximum supported size: 1024x1024" And this after running it in compatibility mode for 256 colors. (if I don't, it simply crashes).

Runs fine on my pc & laptop. Have you tried reducing your PC resolution to 1024x768 (or whatever aspect ratio you have;) I don't think it needs 256 color mode.
