Topic: Screen Resoution -- Issues...

[ZTempest]

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!    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:

Wow, I see Rattler is logged in at the moment!  Its the return of the Kzin Old Guard!

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.
