Screen Resolution

February 16, 2007 5:19:59 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Hi,

I need help! I've installed GC2 + DarkAvatar and everything went fine. Then, in Dark Avatar, I tried to change screen resolution to 1280x800 because that is my notebook's default value. After restarting Dark Avatar the game crashes back to desktop. In the log I can see it's something about the graphics buffer.
OK, back to 1024x768 but HOW? GC2 runs OK under 1024x768 but Dark Avatar has saved the 1280x800 setting and I can't change it any more. No .ini-files found... no registry-entries found... complete deinstall and reinstall didn't do it, DA keeps starting with 1280x800.

Please... how can I get DA to start in 1024x768? Where is the startup resulution saved? Where can I change it?

Thanx in Advance.

Delete the prefs.ini file in My documents\My games\GC2DarkAvatar to reset its settings to defaults.

Mydocuments/mygames/gc2darkavatar look for the pref.ini, open with notepad and you'll see heighth and width. Just change them and save. DL has the same thing in its mydocuments folder.

Edit: Kryo, you are on it as usual
