Video Settings

June 12, 2012 7:37:06 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I cannot change my video settings at all. I just downloaded the game from steam, and tried to change resolution and other settings. I found that there are no resolutions listed, and the rest of my settings will not save, even if I changed them. I tried to changed the settings in the user.setting, but the files cannot be read for some reason. Please help

Same issue here, after full install max resolution is 1024X768.  No other video settings options.

And now it is working.  SLightly changed the video settings for Anti Aliasing and now after restarting game, full resolution options appeared.

I'm having a similar problem... I can change the settings and everything but every time I quit the game and start it again, it resets EVERYTHING I sat including the video settings...

really I was just messing around with the Anti Aliasing and such.  Just changed levels and then restarted app.

I had before it started working deleted and re-install, but it was not working after that as well.  Then I messed with the settings it had and then on the next restart of the game, all the video settings appeared.

Maybe try clicking and windowed mode and changing it back.

Do you have a monitor driver installed or are you using a generic one?

I have the same problem.  Settings file has all my previous configs from the beta, however it is still only detecting 1024x768.  Video card is a Geforce 240 and Drivers are up to date within the last week or 2.  Verifying the game data with steam did not seem to do anything as well, and changing the settings to a .bak did not have any effect, and no other file has taken its place.

 

After a bit of digging I do believe I have found the problem, or at least a way around it.  The files are getting put into the "My Documents/my games" folder instead of what was normally "appdata/local/" folder.  Least I believe that's the case, as the settings match up for what it's showing in game.

 

EDIT:  After changing the settings file to say 1600x1200, all resolutions are now being displayed.
