Changing Screen Res

from GalCiv2 Forums
I set my copy of GalCiv to 1280x1024, and now I can't play. I can't even get to the options screen to set it back - the game opens in windowed mode, the mouse hot spot is nowhere near the mouse icon. How do I change the resolution from outside the game?

Open the prefs.ini file in My Documents/My Games/GalCiv2, there should be entries there for height and width that you can change (as well as a fullscreen toggle-- 1 = fullscreen, 0 = windowed).

You can also pass the "w" argument (no quotes) to a shortcut to run it in windowed mode. I had the same problem as you and I only wish I had known about the fix Darth Kryo suggests as the pictures on the screen didn't match up to where I was supposed to click when that happened, it took me forever to fix as I had to randomly click around on the video options screen.
