Hi, I've been playing tremulous for a while now and just recently I bought a new 22" LCD Monitor. So today when I went on to play I decided to change the resolution, my monitor is set at 1680x1050 (widescreen). So the closest I could set it to was 1600x1200, when I hit APPLY it "restarted" like it normally does when you change settings. But now it says this:
tremulous 1.1.0 win_mingw-x86 Feb 28 2006

I have an eMachines W3400 with Windows XP Home Edition and on board ATI Radeon Xpress 200 graphics (crappy I know, but its just temporary). I have installed all the latest drivers for my monitor and graphics, so could somebody help, please!?

Try forcing a custom resolution with r_customwidth/r_customheight.
-
More specifically, in the console:
/r_customwidth 1680
/r_customheight 1050
/r_mode -1
/vid_restart

where do I type that in? I'm not a very "advanced" user, if you know what I mean

/r_customwidth 1680
/r_customheight 1050
/r_mode -1
/vid_restart
where's the console? lol

He can't access the console if the game won't start. :P

This is my first post. Yes hello.
I've been having the exact same problem on my new Acer Laptop with a Mobility Xpress 1100. i think the problem is with the ATI Catalyst 7.1 drivers, which are the latest. You might try going back to the 6.9 drivers. Unfortunately I can't test this since my laptop came with Vista and the catalyst 7.1 drivers are the only ones you can use in vista :cry:
-
nope, I tried using older drivers as well as the latest, I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling Tremulous. Nothing seems to work, so I don't know what else to do...

Find your Tremulous installation and go to the base directory. There should be a file called autogen.cfg. If not, make one. Open it in notepad (or better, in PSPad, notepad doesn't support UNIX-style line ends) and type this in:
seta r_customwidth "1680"
seta r_customheight "1050"
seta r_mode "-1"
Note: If you use TJW's backport client, you should look for autogen.cfg in Documents and Settings\YOU\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base instead.

I think kevlarman already fixed this problem, but I can't find where is that post.

lol ragin

hey- i had the same exact problem earlier today and nothing worked till i uninstalled tremulous and DELETED all files under C:\Program Files\Tremulous.... i think the problem was(like mentioned above) C:\Program Files\Tremulous\Base\autogen.cfg hope this was helpful(LOL- just so u know... im not a computer geek AT ALL im more of a skateboarder...) WOOPS! let me rephrase myself... i uninstalled tremulous and deleted everything under C:\program files\tremulous AFTER ALL THAT i reinstalled tremulous and had no proglem... like i said... im pretty sucky w/ computers... so if i sound like an idiot... ITS CAUSE I AM! thats just what worked for me...
