[bug] 1680x1050 resolution option missing in beta

August 17, 2008 9:19:47 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Before the beta I could select my native screen resolution of 1680x1050. However, after I installed the beta, the resolution options stop at 1440xsometing.

However, I still have the game in 1680, I just cannot turn off AA, as that would alter the resolution to whatever resolution I care to choose from the options that are left.

You can manually edit your user.setting to change the resolution and/or antialiasing settings:
Vista:
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting\user.setting

XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting\user.setting

Your username should go between the double backslashes, e.g. c:\users\username\appdata...

Are all your drivers up to date? I play on the same resolution and haven't seen that.

I've posted before, for some reason 1680x1050 is listed TWICE in my resolution choices!

if this is true it is a shame, since 22" is the most common monitor size up from 19"

Eh? 1680x1050 should be there (As long as it is supported by the monitor and video card, of course), but if it isn't you should have no problem following vincenoir's advice.

I can't confirm this. It works fine here at the native 1680x1050 resolution for me.
