Screen resolution issue

Post by Cmdr Monte »

I've tried to alter my fullscreen res to match my monitor (1280x1024). I came across two issues.

1) For some odd reason, pressing the left arrow key give one set of resolutions, pressing the right gives another. Sometimes I can't find my resolution at all, it seems to need some kind of odd combination of left and right. Am I missing something?

2) When I set the res to 1280x1024, things seem fine but the textures are messed up, as expected. So if I exit and restart, oolite often won't start up in the higher resolution. Sometimes it just takes a while but other times it hangs. I had to go into the .GNUstepDefaults file and manually set it back to 1024x768 to get oolite to start again.

Workaround that works very well:

Hide Taskbar
Play in a window
Maximise window
The act of talking b*ll*cks whilst waving one's arms about wildly is referred to as testiculation.

That's good.

I can also minimize it quickly if the Boss walks in. :wink:

HehHEh. Best way to ensure you don't miss emails too.

I wish I could install it here at my work... :cry:
