Changed resolution and .exe wont run
« on: January 02, 2007, 03:23:24 pm »
I try'd to put the resolution up, and the game crashed and wont run anymore, i'v try'd evrything i can think of, sure it would be a simple reinstall but its my backport .exe :(

I have try'd cmd
Deleating autogen.cfg
Editing autogen.cfg
Re-downloading the backport .exe
Installing the game in a difrent directory
Running in safe mode
Editing properties so it runs in a lower resolution

None of them work.

Can anyone help with this? thx

My guess is : delete the autogen.cfg. And before you say that you already did it, I'll answer with a : are you sure you deleted the correct one ;) You could also try launching the game with some command line parameter that will override the video resolution.

Give the complete log since that error might have been after some more useful warning/error. And try to reboot or to reinstall your CG drivers.

What's to bump?
You haven't yet answered the essential questions...

- Did you delete _all_ occurences of autogen? (There is more than one place)
- Did you try to set the resolution via command line?
- Where is the log you've been asked for?

Yeah, of course it's stopping error. Don't you wonder what happened to all those 1.1.0 media PK3s?

Then you failed to delete autoconf.gen and/or autoexec.bat -> go back to step #1

I have the same problem. Have deleted all instances of autogen.cfg, but still doesnt work (looked in all folders in Trem dir, and looked in Application data).

My only difference is that my brother changed the res while playing with the guid and now the game doesn't work. I dled the backport again, but with no result. I redownloaded the game and installed with uninstall. I upgraded my drivers, but I still doesn't work (it worked before).

The funky thing is, I can still play without the backport.

Here's the output. Anyone help?

You failed to mention that you did an upgrade to windows in the meantime.

Reinstall the driver for your gfx-card and you are all set again.

I can't imagine that you did install the driver the vendor of your gfx-card supplied. Else you had a working 3D-environment again.

The game worked before for them, so most probably it's not the driver.

Try running the game with this parameter:

tremulous.exe +set r_mode 3


if you don't know how to run with that parameter, make a text file next to tremulous.exe, paste the line above in it, and rename the file to run.bat. Double click run.bat and you should be fine.
 If you're using linux, you should know what to do already.


The problem is here :
...setting mode 9: 1600 1200 FS
...calling CDS: failed, bad mode
...trying next higher resolution: failed, bad mode
...restoring display settings

I'll look into the code to see why it's not falling back gracefully. Meanwhile the fix is as above.
