some technical help here please

January 3, 2008 4:56 PM from

For the last few days, I had the opportunity to run ToTA beta (newest version) on another, larger, monitor capable of supporting 1600*1200 resolution. Now I can't do that anymore, and my own monitor doesn't support 1600*1200, so I started ToTA a while back expecting to be asked to change the resolution. Instead, the game crashed when started, and I can't even get to the point where I have the option to turn the resolution down. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't fix this (I expect ToTA stores resolution in the registry). So can anyone please tell me how I can get the game running again?

Go to /MyDocuments/MyGames/GC2TwilightArnor and open the prefs.ini file. In the video section you can enter the desired display size.

Quick help, and works again... thanks pndrew.

Still, if the devs have some spare time

it might be helpful if the game automatically reset resolution to 800*600 or something like that if startup is unsuccessful

Or simply delete the file and then start the game. You can then just set it up as you had it.
