Change Resolution in Fullscreen [SOLUTION]

Random · Post by **Random** » Thu Sep 30, 2010 4:10 am

If you want to modify the resolution of OpenRA in fullscreen. All you have to do is locate the file settings.yaml (Under Windows XP it is located in C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\My Documents\OpenRA\) search for it on other operating systems.

Open settings.yaml in notepad or a text editor of your choice.

Make sure under Gaphics: it says something like this.

Code: Select all

Graphics:
    Mode: Fullscreen
    FullscreenSize: 800,600

Change the 800,600 values for a resolution of your choice, for example 1024,768

This should work, solution provided by pchote

Too bad the game crashes for me when I try that. Hate those 2mm soldiers.

Cemesti, how does this crash for you?

Doesn't work. The game crashes if I try to edit the settings file and start the game.

And if I change the resolution in the game it doesn't change anything. The game always uses my desktop resolution (which is much too big for me)

The Mode: and Fullscreen: lines must be indented with a single tab. The game will crash if they are indented with spaces.

This only seems to work for me when resolutions are 4:3. If I try 16:9 resolutions like 854,480 or 960,540 then it bumps to a 4:3 resolution like 1024,768.

Also, the game crashes if there is a typo like "800x600" instead of using the comma: "800,600". Perhaps trouble in the YAML parser?
