marcus Posted June 22, 2008 Report Posted June 22, 2008 Hi, having a weird problem.. haven't played SS in a few months and I just noticed I could not set ANY resolutions. All I see is an option to select window mode. I tried advanced settings > show default resolutions and no change. Tried making new profile, tried uninstalling (plus deleting the directory) and reinstalling. Really strange. At first I noticed the problem on Vista, so I thought it was that, then when I went to xp it was there too. Latest monitor drivers are installed correctly (Viewsonic p220f) and I have the latest NVidia drivers with a 7300GS. When I try to connect to just about any zone it uses the highest res my monitor can support and I can't play because the res is too high, 2048x1536. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know a way to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pls see screenshot: http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/6763/92642087ke8.jpg
Samapico Posted June 22, 2008 Report Posted June 22, 2008 Several people have been having this problem lately...read:http://www.ssforum.net/index.php?showtopic...p;hl=resolution and if that doesn't work, in this other topic, the guys says this worked for him. If any of this works, please tell us what worked exactly. We'll definitly put a FAQ up about this... (mods feel free to make one)

(mods feel free to make one) Thank you very much, I followed the second link where it says to edit profile.dat and set resolution to something. It was set on 1024x768, and I figured I will try just clearing the line instead of specifying a resolution. So I had "resolution =" and saved it, unchecked "Show default resolutions" and it worked. I now have all my resolutions, from 640x480 to 2048x1536. Thanks once again and looking forward to playing SS again
