Matrix Games Forums

Hi,

I am playing with the newest patch - how can i chnage the resolution there - tried different things with my 24 monitor like my standard 1920 - it does not change anything, if I enter it in options...

Search on google or this forum to confirm but I think the key is to save a game. This creates a save folder and then preferences will be saved. So..
1) save game
2) set preferences (or maybe before save game...not sure) above resolution
3) exit
4) re-enter... resolution should be there

also try in windowed mode. but the above or something close to it should work. I had the same problem.

Just to be clear, it should no longer be necessary to use the trick I outlined. A patch made it possible to do within preferences. With 1.040 you state the size you want in x by y in the box provided. But don't try to put x and y in at the same time. In the pic you see I added 1270 first for x, then after you enter that in hit enter. Next it will ask you for y, then I added 960.

I run at 1280x1024 because I have a 19". I cut a few pixels off the numbers I entered because you don't want the games image to go under the taskbar. Once the game is loaded I drag the window to get it just right.

Well for me with latest patch (as far as I could tell) I still have to get the save folder in. I had been doing the x then y. But it would just forget it. But may have been my bad.

Hi there,

thanks for the answers - now it has an error - it cannot save - error unable to save in the slot - any idea what that could be?

I would try deleting all the files in the C:..../dat/save folder. Don't worry, the game engine will regenerate these files when it reloads next time. There are 5 files in there that are basic to the game. Any extras are just your save files. They are all *.dat files and the game engine will recreate them. Save files are *.sav and PBEM ones are called *.psv these you could save. You could delete those as well if you are not worried about losing your save. It may be necessary anyway if your *.sav got corrupted.

Hopefully, someone can help me. I just bought the game, and it is great although it is guite old. I play 1920*1080, but can't see the in-game videos. I can hear the sound, but see nothing.

Switching to win7 64 caused the same problem for me. Nothing to do about it it seems.
