New Problem For Me...Can't Change Display

bucketsndimes · 07-01-2008, 09:39 PM

So I just posted my problem with starting the game. However, I downloaded and re-installed the game and now it starts. The new problem is that I went from a 12-inch powerbook to a 13.3 inch MacBook. The display is different. But when I go to game preferences and change it to 1200x800 the game crashes. HELP!

Known issue. Lemme find the help link.

Here ya go:

If you have the updated version, restart the game. If it works, you shouldn't have to do the below.

Just an FYI (this all makes sense)...
With patch with my resolution at 1440x900:
1024x728 *Works*
1280x1024 *Doesn't work*
1600x1200 *Doesn't work*
1024x720 *Works*
1152x864 *Works*
1280x720 *Works*
1280x768 *Works*
1280x800 *Works*
1360x768 *Works*
1440x900 *Works*
1680x1050 *Doesn't Work*
1920x1200 *Doesn't Work*

Love the feature that resets it to last known working preference instead of having to go to the terminal.

still cant change the display to anything. i tried 1440x900 too.

MorseMoose · 07-01-2008, 10:29 PM

What do you have your MacBook display at? (the resolution of your computer...not the game)

Apple > System Preferences > Display

bucketsndimes · 07-01-2008, 10:31 PM

1280x800

MorseMoose · 07-01-2008, 10:34 PM

None of these resolutions work for you?

1024x728 *
1024x720 *
1280x720
1280x768
1280x800

I especially recommend the * ones.

The only one that seems to work is 1024x768...the default one. The problem is that then there's so much more room on the screen, it's pretty annoying.

Definitely agree. Why I don't I wait to see what more "official" ootp help says. Sorry I couldn't help more!

Thanks!

I guess nobody can figure out an answer to this problem.

Nutlaw · 07-08-2008, 02:21 PM

Are you trying both windowed and full screen mode?
