[.86 BUG] Desktop resolution misdetected on startup

March 2, 2012 7:27 PM from

This bug has been present on previous versions too.

Each time I start the game a dialog comes up saying, "Your desktop resolution is currently set to 640 x 480. The minimum supported...". My desktop is 2560 x 1600, a 30 inch LCD. After I say OK to the dialog, everything plays fine. So this isn't a problem really, just a reoccurring irritation.

I have the same problem, I have a secondary display connected that is 800x600, but my primary desktop (screen 1) is 1920x1080.

Bump because I've just encountered the same bug in 0.915. Stranger still, the resolution was correctly detected AND higher than 1024x768, yet an error message still came up saying it was too low.

As with OP, clicking OK allowed the game to launch normally.
