[Error] Can't change screen resolution
« on: 5 January 2009, 11:46:41 »
Hi, I can't change the screen-width in GAE! (I have the latest one)
There will be a error-message: But that's all, no error descriptions in the gae-crash.txt for example.

Maybe if you would use 4:3 resolution? (For example, 1024x768)

Yes 1024x768 works, but I have a new monitor now and glest looks very deformed.

Then maybe you should change the display shape (position, rotation, etc.) of the monitor, and not the game.

?! No of course not, cause my monitor needs this resolution (widescreen):
1336x768. It would be much better when GAE would simply accept this resolution.
It's a bug that have to be fixed!

Try it in windowed mode and also run it in the console.

In windowed mode it worked but I needed to use resolutions that the OS can be set to (this is on Windows) for fullscreen.  So I used 1360x768 which is fairly close to what you specified.

I have the resolution 1336x768, so of course I can set it to the OS ^^
But yes, in windowed-mode it works. But the fonts are really big - and I don't want to play in windowed mode.
But 1360x768 works - thanks !
