Soldat messes up my resolution?
« on: December 14, 2006, 05:16:09 am »
Okay, so when I start Soldat, my screen's resolution totally fcks up. It gets transformed, in a very bad way, which gives me a headache after playing for a minute.
I can't post a screenshot, it shows up perfectly in my screenshot folder, n'either does a print screen work.
Should I reinstall?
Fuddle with my settings?

The strange thing about it is, when I quit Soldat, the resolution is perfect again.

Any help?

As I don't have my camera here, and am too lazy to go search for it, I just drew it in Paint.

Just run Soldat in windowed mode (not fullscreen) and check if it solves your problem.

You might wanna post here what kind of monitor you have and the model. Your monitor may not support a particular resolution at a specific refresh rate and/or color depth.

Ah yes Toumaz.. Your post remembers me of something I forgot to say: my current monitor displayed Soldat properly earlier. And I can't imagine any particularly drastic changes to my hardware... N'either have I changed my Soldat settings.

Update/reinstall your video card drivers, just in case.

Windowed works... Strangely enough. Guess I should check if there are any new drivers, or reinstall.
Anyways, thanks for helping.

I bet you got some buttons on your monitor, try changing something during play. Tell us more about your monitor, graphics card. I just don't find any other advices.

Hmmm...n'either.  First time I've ever seen anyone make a contraction out of a word that stopped being a contraction hundreds of years ago.  Interesting convention.

Well.. I reinstalled Soldat and it worked... Pretty weird though, as I didn't change anything, not even installed a mod.
