Bugs prior to release 2.3 / Resolution change causing monitor to go out of Range

« on: May 24, 2010, 03:28:17 am »

Any time I change my resolution in full screen mode, despite knowing for a fact my monitor can support the listed resolution, my monitor immediately goes out of range as though either the resolution of refresh rate were not supported. Thing is, Im not touching the refresh rate of the monitor, so that isnt a factor in the error. Simply put, my monitor can handle the resolution I am switching it to but for some reason, my monitor still goes out of range.

EDIT: Here is a DXDiag for your information.

EDIT 2: After playing with the options some more...I think it might be an issue with the vertex buffer. My window shrinks down to half its original size when I click on it to switch them on and Im no even trying to change my resolution when I do.

Bugs in older version (2.2.1) / Re: Various Graphics bugs

« on: May 24, 2010, 03:13:00 am »

A word of friendly advice: Time to ditch version 2.2.1, which at this point looks like a buggy beta version compared to the 2.3 version, which is going to be the next stable release very soon (since the development version at this point is 2.4).

Destructavator will probably upload a new installer soon - aha - he already has:

That may be a debug release, but it's significantly farther along than 2.2.1. Install that and run it, you will have a lot less problems. Ask for help in the Windows subforum if you need.

Ahhh, i see. Righty, Ill give this one a try then and see how it goes. Thanks for the help my good man.

Bugs in older version (2.2.1) / Various Graphics bugs

« on: May 23, 2010, 05:51:00 pm »

Im using the latest stable version as far as I am aware. New to the game.

Firstly, I couldnt not set full screen so I did it in the config file. That worked fine, however, I then couldnt change the resolution. I did this also in the config file, but, there was no change in the in game resolution. Also, when I start a new game, what I assume to be location names on the map...are all white boxes with no text. I really want to play this game...could you please help me get it sorted out and working.



Many thanks.

EDIT: Okay...I managed to remove the text bug. I had to do a complete reinstall however. I still cannot change resolution however.

Im running on Windows 7 64bit and a 9800GTX+
