Title: [WIN 7 x64 RC1]Game crashes upon change of resolution
Post by: BentByBogus on July 25, 2009, 06:30:25 pm

Hi!

You made a nice looking game there that I would very much like to play.
Unfortunately the game crashes every time I try to change the resolution to anything higher than the default value.
I tried setting the resolution manually in the config file as well as starting the game with the command line parameter of +vid_mode 18 but to no avail.
Is there anything else I could try to make this work ?

Thank you for your help!

Hi, can you please provide details on your hardware specs?

Also, what version of the game did you try and where did you download it from?

Now this is funny.
I used the command line parameter like you said ( "+set vid_mode 19"[native res is 1920x1200]) and now it appears to be working.
The right resolution is set in game and my display tells me I am running that specific resolution also.
Thank you guys.
