Hi.
I downloaded ufoai 2.2.1 for win32 (actually I'm using vista x64) and I have the following problems:
1. I can't change resolution from basic 1024x768 to 1680x1050. If I change resolution and use the loupe icon game crash.
2. I can't switch to full screen. If I check the appropriate checkbox game crashes.
Thanks for any advice.
PS: It looks like a great game, like the first two classic x-coms, great work guys.

Try to start it from a command line with parameters:
ufo +set vid_mode 18 +set vid_fullscreen 1

Greetings,
I've gone through the UFO WIKI but I was not able to get the game running to my expectations.
I run Vista x64, with a 16:10 monitor and GeForce 8800 GT.
The game starts in full screen mode by itself. However I am not able to make it run windowed, it crashes when trying so. I can only run it windowed in "windowed-safe-mode".
Another problem is resolution. I can't make the game run 16:10 (in my case 1680x1050). When I try to change it, game crashes (even in the windowed safe mode).
I have tried to run the game from windows command line. With various parameters described here on the forum or on WIKI.
I have edited the configuration file accordingly to what I would want the game to run in.
So far no success. Does not matter how I run the game/how I edit the configuration file it always starts full screen and in default resolution.
Could anyone provide me with any kind of help? Or advice what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks & Regards,
Lorco

Make sure to edit your config, not the config in the game dir - the config in the game is the default config. the config in your app data is the config you should modify.

I am positive I do edit the "app data" config. I can't find any config file in the UFO directory.
Also after I edit the config and run the game in video option menu there is 1680x1050 resolution visible/stated as active resolution. However you can clearly see the resolution is not what the menu claims to be as on 16:10 monitor the game is "widened".

Hi,
Try also changing the "vid_mod" parameter. Set it to 18 wich correspond to 1680x1050.
