Missing resolution?

(1/3) > >>

Sarin:
So, I dropped in once again to check how's the game progressing...so I installed 2.5 latest, and found an odd thing. In resolution selection, my screen's 1366x768, quite a common resolution for laptops, is missing. Is this an oversight, bug in installation or intentional?

ShipIt:
Iirc this is a problem after the game switched to using SDL2, but I might be wrong.

You should be able to manually edit the game´s config file to solve the problem.

krolyn:

Yes, same thing happened to me!
How can I change the resolution manually?

thanks

ShipIt:
Where to find the UFO:AI config.cfg file.

Use a raw text editor to change the video settings:


--- Code: ---set vid_height "1200" a
set vid_width "1920" a
--- End code ---

stamasd:
I have the same request. Please add 1366x768 to the standard resolutions.

I tried editing config.cfg manually to add

--- Code: ---set vid_width "1366" a
set vid_height "768" a
--- End code ---

...but it's ignored, the next time you start the game it reverts automatically to whatever resolution you were using before, and config.cfg gets automatically overwritten with that resolution.

(edit) I even tried to make config.cfg read-only. It then doesn't get rewritten, but the game still doesn't come up at 1366x768 but rather at the previous resolution I had used (in my case, 1152x768 because save the native resolution of my laptop this is the one that gives me the most pixels)
