ET switches resolution between game launch.


(TenaciousD) #1

Almost every time I launch ET, my game resolution is set to 800x600 … if I click ‘set recommended’, it sets to 1024x768/32 and runs great. I have a 21" monitor so I like to jump up to 1280x1024 … runs like a champ and smooth.

I can’t stop the bugger from switching to 800x600 upon start. I notice this frequently happend since the 1.02 official update. The only time I noticed it before was if I crashed ET etc.
(as can be expected - built in safety measure). But this is happening after graceful shutdowns of ET.

I removed ET (and all files/configs) … reinstalled … set configs. no go. Update of video driver (5216 and chipset Nforce2) … no go. Edit .cfgs … limited success.

Any ideas? All other games run practically flawless.

This is related to mods and crash detection. Sure would be nice if this was fixed in patch :smiley:
