Lee Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 that's not a fix and chuk really should stop telling people to do that because it doesn't help find the issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuk Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The issue is that they either don't run online.exe in administrator mode or use a non supported resolution which causes the game to crash before it even starts. So I tell them this because it makes them able to play again until there is a fix for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 it's called run it as admin or go to options and change the res, not bypass the stupidity in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuk Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Someone who just starts out doesn't want to mess with resolution settings. They just wanna run the game. An error message that pops up when using the wrong resolution would solve a great deal of problems and make it so I wouldn't have to say this to them in the first place.

Lee Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Since the game defaults to 640x480, they had to have messed with the res settings in the first place therefore csusing their own issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonezorz Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Can i Hijack this while you guys are talking about it and ask why my game might not launch on certain resolutions? In fact, on this new (few year old) gaming laptop I got, it runs on nothing but 1280 x 720. No 1600, 1980, etc. it's a decent laptop, win 7 64 bit, 4 gigs ram, 1920x1200 monitor, and a geforce 9800m GTS. It shouldn't be an issue at those resolutions, right? Here is something I found in the 'error' log: Error : Can't find DisplayMode Error : Can't use format [D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8] Error : Can't find DisplayMode Error : Can't use format [D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8] Edited August 8, 2013 by Tonezorz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 to run at some resolutions those must be supported, so for example 1920x1080 should draw on your panel, as long as the os and card support it, i was working on some diagnostic tool to show supported resolutions, I could post it here if it would help.

Tonezorz Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Sure, that would be great. Any way to add support for the errors above to get the other resolutions to display? I would most like 1600 X 900 in a window to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I can't make your card draw what it can't support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) http://www.mediafire.com/download/q69b1mraqhdpbsr/TestRes.rar This should show supported 32 bit 60 hz resolutions, it's still a wip, but should work for now.

Tonezorz Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Forgive me, I understand that you can't do that. I just mean if you know of something I can do. I can't imagine the card couldn't support those resolutions. I'm seeing people talk about direct X versions could be an issue with this. Does anything like that sound plausible? I'm trying a fresh install of windows and the game now, to try and iron this out. Thanks for the res tool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) that tool should tell you what programs actually see in reguards to resolutions pso wants to use and can on your system sometimes it repeats the same res a few times, because i haven't ironed out some filters yet for different frequencies Edited August 8, 2013 by Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonezorz Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Thank you. I'm surprised at how few resolutions my card actually supports! I suppose I'll keep experimenting with drivers and things to see if that changes. Don't know enough about these things I guess. Thank you for your help.

Tonezorz Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Now I've run into another issue where the latest Nvidia driver causes this: 1080 is no longer supported, replaced by 1200. Game crashes now when selecting 1080 as the resolution, where with the older graphics driver it did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
