Not sure if this is a bug but wanted to make sure it was known

December 16, 2008 11:43:10 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Haven't had a chance to actually play Entrenchment yet, but upon first loading it up, I noticed that max resolution is now capped at 1024x768 at 60hrtz. Now I know I had my settings higher in vanilla Sins, is this intentional or did my install fubar something?

I'm not seeing this in my game with Entrenchment. Actually all my settings were unchanged after installing it. Can't say if it's a bug or bad install (which would be a bug itself).

My res is still 1680 by 1050 so must really be on your end.

1280 x 1024 here. I can only get up to 1280 x 900 or something like that with my install.

Well I guess something went totally wrong, even after uninstalling both via Impulse, and a second time upon the same issue via Add/remove programs now even Vanilla Sins gives me the same issue, a max res of 1024x768 at 60 hrtz.

System Specs are

AMD6000+, 3gigs of ram, Nivida 8800 GTS with current drivers, directx 9c. Windows xp with Service Pack 3.  My Samsung monitor's native resolution is 1680x1050

I don't understand this. Even after removing Entrenchment, Sins, and Impulse, along with deleting all stardock ganes/star dock Impulse folders and registry entries I still have the same issue. I'm at a loss for a solution here, even just installing vanilla Sins gives the same result.

I've had this happen before, during and after 1.1, but you can set what ever resolution you want by editing "user.setting" file (any text editor will do). The file is in directory "C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\local\Ironclad games\Sins\settings", this is in vista, i don't remember where it is in XP, but propably something similar, and you need to set hidden files and folders visible to see AppData folder.  I think there are  separate lines width and height that you can use to set resolution, it was the only way to get sins run in 1366*768 resolution.
