Title: Tremulous rez problem
Post by: jr2 on April 11, 2007, 08:42:40 pm

OK, I run Trem just fine on both my comps... I installed it onto my friend's laptop (Vista), set Trem to run in compatibility mode for XPSP2, it ran just great, no probs.  Then, I changed the resolution to what I guessed was his LCD's native resolution.  Game crashed.  So, I looked for the config file, to change the option.  I couldn't find it, so I looked in the registry to see if it was there.  Nope.  So, I deleted & re-installed Trem, but the prob is still there.  What gives?  Where is the default config file, anyways.. buried in a pk3?  Weird registry location?

Any help appreciated.

PS: I wonder if Vista isn't caching the darn config file, and keeping the wrong version... I don't think it should be able to do that, but I dunno..

Uninstall Vista, install XP. Simple as that. There's another topic about this also, search.

Ya, I don't like Vista either, but it came with my friend's laptop - he doesn't have XP.  Compatibility mode was working perfectly fine, though, until I changed the res to one his graphics card / monitor didn't support... I should have checked what the desktop was running on before I changed that.

So, there's no command line option to force Trem to run in a different rez?

Check your Tremulous <user> folder for autogen.cfg and delete that. I'm not giving the path of <user> here. Let's learn how to use the forum search/sticky features eh ? Also 'r_mode x' works in console if you can get the game up. Or run Trem with that as part of the command line, i.e: +set r_mode 4

Err, I did use search, but I guess not with the right terms.  The only advise I could come across was that this problem's only solution was a complete uninstall and reinstall of Trem.  Umm, I already tried that... ;)

But thx for the info, that should work, I think.  :)
