Problem with resolution
« on: November 21, 2007, 11:13:22 pm »
Hi all,

I tried your game today. It seem to me really fantastic.

However, I post here because I've a problem to change the resolution : Everytime I try to change the resolution of the game, it return to windows (without error message).  :(

Except this problem all work fine  :).

I've the latest drivers from nvidia and I use the "ufoai-2.2-dev-win32" version.
My computer :
nforce 680 sli
Geforce 8800 GTS
4 Mo RAM
Windows Vista 64

Is there a solution or a way to change the resolution manually in a file ? I didn't find  :-\

NB : I don't know if it's important but actually I launch the game with the parameter : ufo + set snd_init 0. Without this, my fps on the tactical map are about 3-4 when a soldier is at the center of the screen.

Thank for your help  :) and good luck for your work

2-4 fps - disable threaded optimzation for your nvidia drivers please.

you can set the vid_mode cvar in your config.cfg (in your applicationdata folder - see our faq for more info)

Ok thank for your help  :)

I tried this setting.

1- In nvidia settings
- disable threaded optimization in nvidia settings
- Set AA to 8 and AF to 8

2- For UFO.exe
- add the parameter : + set snd_init 0

With these settings all is ok (fps to 25-50 and more) - Wonderfull  :D

But I've always a problem with the resolution

3- in the config.cfg (in C:\User\appdata\Roaming\UfoAI\2.2.dev\Base)
- I've modified the resolution manually to 1152x864 and 1600x1200. But I see no changes in the game (and in the video options, it's always 1024x768)
- In the video options in the game, it's impossible to change it because back to desktop)

make sure that you've set vid_mode to -1 in your config.cfg, too
