Beta 2.5 -- bug that wasn't fixed, and color issue

from Sins Forums

Ok, so I have a 1680x1050 resolution on my normal moniter, and like to set my games to use that resolution. However, whenever I want to change SotSE to use that resolution (since it resets during most updates), I have to try different resolutions until it appears -- I have found that the resolution list that SotSE displays doesn't list all available resolutions, and sometimes the ones it lists aren't what it actually changes the resolution to (I choose 1680x1050 and it puts it at 800x600). I'm not sure if this has been reported or not, but it certainly has not been fixed. (Did that make sense?)

Also, for the TEC... would it be possible to change the color of the progress bar? Right now it's yellow, and on a yellow background... it hurts my eyes :P

My sins version say 1280x1024 but it is in reality 1680x1050... because i have mess up the file manually...

 

If you really wish the 1680x1050, simply go to your local folder... there with the savegame, mods, etc... you have a directory called "Setting"... in these directory, open with notepad the file called "user.setting"... and modify it to have something like show below :


VideoIsWindowed FALSE
VideoRefreshRate 60
VideoFullScreenWidth 1680
VideoFullScreenHeight 1050
VideoWindowedWidth 1680
VideoWindowedHeight 1050
VideoMultiSampleType 2

 

Be sure to type a refresh rate that your graphic card and your monitor can both support... the VideoMultiSampleType is the antiliasing level...

Also noticed that the Garda Flak ships have an animation issue. When you zoom in, their guns aren't calling the image correctly -- you just see a white rectangle.
