You changed it too big? If yes, then find your autogen.cfg and delete it.

Also, use the SEARCH TOOL or look F.A.Q.

[David]

autoexec should be autogen

If you don't want to lose all your settings then open the autogen.cfg and add "r_mode 4;r_width 1024;r_height 768" to the bottom of it.

As David said, look for autogen.cfg NOT autoexec.cfg.  Then open autogen.cfg and add "r_mode 4;r_width 1024;r_height 768" to the bottom of it.

"CC"
"ChangeLog"
"Copying"
and
"GPL"

Ok, go to:
C:\users\<NAME>\appdata\local\tremulous\base
If it doesn't contain and autogen.cfg then try the normal tremulous folder, which is usually at:
C:\Program Files\Tremulous
Then go to the file "base". If there's an autogen.cfg there, fix it up as said above.

but there is no autogen.cfg
It just never existed for me I guess
I just dont have it for some reason

Right click on the short cut you use to start tremulous, click properties, it should have a target field saying something like "C:\Program Files\Tremulous\Tremulous.exe", add "+set r_mode 4" to the end.
It should then run at a lower res.
Probably best to change the link back after you've run it, or you'll be unable to change res in-game.

Once the game is running type "/fs_homepath" in the console to see where it has your autogen etc saved, it's always useful to know.

I have Vista as well, and my folder can be found in Roaming instead of Local.
So: C:\Users\Demo\AppData\Roaming\Tremulous\

[honeyboy]

thanks for yalls help
All i did was right click on the short cut to properties and checked the box that makes the games resolution to 640x480

Cool, can you add [solved] to the title of your first post in order to help people browsing through the forum with a similar problem as you.

Thanks
