Screen Resoution -- Issues...
« on: May 06, 2006, 10:44:56 am »
Hi!

I am coming back to the game (SFC OP) after an extended absence.  I re-intalled the game on my new system...and I can get it to come up fine, can connect to the Dyna, everything...one problem though.  My system supports a different resolution - I have a widescreen 1900x1200 monitor, and the highest resolution that can be set on the setup is 1280x1024.  The game does not look like it is loading at the highest resolution -- I played SFC III at this resoultion and it looked much better than Orion Pirates does for some reason. 

I am thinking that although I am setting the game at the highest resolution, the game is not displaying at that resolution.  Is there some way I can check this (perhaps in the .ini file)?  Or is there another setting that I need to check in order for the game to render properly?  What about compatibility modes. 

I have the latest drivers.  I have dual NVIDIA GEForce 7800 GTX video cards (total of 512 MB video memory) with SLI multi-GPU enabled.

Any assistance would be appreciated.  I had to turn off visual themes in the compatibility section of the file properties in order to enter my CD code, should I turn it back on?  and if so, will that prevent me from joining a mission in the Dyna (as it does with SFC III)?

Thanks for your time.

ZTempest!  :o  Welcome back!  :)

Have you tried using: Khoromag's EzINI?  edit:link corrected

Also, I highly reccomend a full install of OP+4. (if not at least patch to 2.5.5.2 and fix the shotcut to point to StarfleetOP.exe and fix the start-in parameter and use only that shortcut to start the game)

edit: Disabling visual themes is not required if the shortcut is fixed or if you do a fiull OP+4 install...

I reccomend reading this thread carefully:

You should also have your screen resolution set the same for both monitor and game, if they're different it will cause some issues.  ;)

Wow! 

It is good to see all of these familiar names!

Khormag's EzIni did the trick.  I am now downloading OP+ 4.0, and will then see what is available in the Dyna. 

Going to take a while to get back into the groove, but I plan on practicing....a lot....and yes...Kzinti.  Once a KAT, always a KAT :)

Hmm....maybe I can even revive some of the old newsletters.  Is the community still pretty active when it comes to campaigns?


EDIT:  Changed "Mirak" to Kzinti.

Oh yes... the upcoming Economy War by Herr Burt (S'Cipio) promises to be a doozie - lots of roleplay. Not qute the numbers we used to have but all the hard-core die-hards are still here.

Speaking of newsletters, the Kzinti Daily is always a hoot... I think Green is just about due for another copy.  ;)

There's some more of them floating around here somewhere... would be nice to compile them into one thread sometime.

And yes, once a KAT, always a KAT. ;)
