Graphics issues

[cunning stunts]

Hi All

Facing a weird issue with OpenRA on my laptop, its a win 8.1 machine with intel HD/Nvidia 620m combo

When I try and start the game it doesn't seem to pick up my screen resolution correctly & renders part of it off screen (per attachment), it does this if i force it to run on either the intel gpu or the nvidia one, both have latest drivers installed etc

my settings.yaml file looks like this:

Code: Select all

Player:

Game:
	Mod: cnc

Sound:

Graphics:

Server:
	AllowPortForward: False

Debug:

Keys:

Irc:

If I copy the graphics section from the settings.yaml example here: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Settings the game just seems to overwrite it and replace it once again with whats above. If i try copying across the entire example OpenRA fails to open.

Is there something i'm missing in the settings to get it to run windowed to start with, with - if there is one a 'first run' flag so it doesn't overwrite the settings file?

Any help is appreciated

Cheers

settings.yaml has special format with tabs etc. which should be carefully obeyed. Try to set correct resolution/change it to another one/try windowed mode:

Code: Select all

Graphics:
	Mode: Windowed
	WindowedSize: 1280,950

Every setting also works as a parameter. So you can try starting with "OpenRA.Game.exe Graphics.Mode=Windowed"

Sorry for the delayed response been away on holiday - that sorted it cheers. I'll give setting the full screen modes as parameters and see how i get on
