I seem to remember that in window mode when I had my desktop at 1024.
Are you window mode or full screen?
Whats your Desktop size set at? 

Should be able to set also in the user.setting in
C:\Users\myfist0\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting\
C:\Users\myfist0\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Setting\ ???

Open with notepad

VideoFullScreenWidth 1024
VideoFullScreenHeight 768
VideoWindowedWidth 1024
VideoWindowedHeight 768

Maybe this file is now read only?

EDIT: Been a while since I messed with that. My desktop is set to 1920x1080 and I play window mode. I can set in game to smaller with no effect, it stays same settings as desktop. If I go full screen mode, I can change with effect. Actually going from dev mod to reg mode rewrites the settings file so it starts at 1024x768 full screen every time in normal mode >:( . Dev stays window mod so I dont have to change that as its the same as my desktop even thought the setting file reads as above.

Actuallly in the  C:\Users\"user"\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting\user.setting  file the settings were but changing but the file access options were not changed.

 But in C:\Users\myfist0\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Setting\rebellion.user.setting file the options were correct for only video full screen height

 

maybe an error in settings write file when update happens?

 

Now though the smaller UI windows do not change size  i know that the menus should be larger

So, I just bought the game and the first thing I did was going to options and changing the settings. I had the same problem but I found a solution! :yes:

 

  1. Go to: Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Setting\rebellion.user.setting
  2. Open it with Notepad
  3. Find VideoAdapterOrdinal
  4. Change the number after that to 1 (mine was 0)

That's what I did at least and it worked for me, maybe it's a different number for you, so keep trying :)

Hope that helps. |-)

Had exactly same problem, can change resolution in fullscreen mode but not in windowed. Seems that manipulating VideoAdapterOrdinal works.

didnt work?  maybe can you just copy the file contents in so we can see the settings and compare?
