i've tried reinstalling it four times

how do i fix it, i think that i just need to know how to reset the options outside of the game

so can anyone help??

Can your laptop handle a resolution of 2048x1562? That's the resolution it's trying to set. Reinstalling will do nothing to solve the issue, as it almost never does solve anything anyway(why do people recommend reinstalling, I don't know). Open C:\Program Files\Tremulous\base\autogen.cfg in notepad, and search for "r_mode". Change its value from "10" to "-1". This sets the custom height/width mode on. Then set r_customheight to your monitor's max resolution's height(in pixels), and set r_customwidth to your monitor's max resolution's width(in pixels), and it should work.

i dont seem to have an autogen.cfg file, the only .cfg file is server.cfg

maybe, it might fix if i install the client backport?

[Odin]

Well according to the log you posted, it is executing autogen.cfg:

execing autogen.cfg

Search for autogen.cfg.

[trigun74]

i did a full system search andit didnt come up with any results for autogen.cfg

[Odin]

That's impossible. If it's executing it obviously it exists somewhere.

[trigun74]

yerr, but i cant locate it, any ideas?

[==Troy==]

you can create a shortcut with

tremulous.exe + set r_mode -1 set r_cus... etc (what Odin said) in the launch line,

or run it from cmd (Start > exec > cmd, then in cmd c:\program files\tremulous\tremulous.exe + set things)

will fix it at least temporary.

[trigun74]

temporary, shud be good, cos im gettnew laptop soon

[trigun74]

i'll just run in 600 x 800 can some1 provide the line so i can copy and paste cos im unsure of how to set it out thnx i won't come back til tomorrow morning tho lol im tired

[Odin]

What is the max resolution for your monitor?

[trigun74]

i'm unsure, how do i find out?

i'll dig around for it and if i find it i'll post, if someone knows how to find it thats great i think the screen is 15"

[trigun74]

the max resolution is 1280 x 800

[Lava Croft]

Remove any file ending with .cfg from your Tremulous folder(s). This should make Tremulous use its default resolution of 640x480. If it doesn't, you have not removed all .cfg files.

[trigun74]

ok thnx, i'll post agaf it works

[trigun74]

i did that, and when i tryed again it came up with the same error message

[Odin]

Well, you need to find autogen.cfg and delete it, or modify it to work with your monitor's resolution. It is somewhere, you just need to find it.

[trigun74]

kk, ill search for it, if not i hope i get my new comp soon

[trigun74]

ive searched and searched and searched, ahvent found it, if there isnt a fix any of you guys can think of ill juss wait til i get new comp

[trigun74]
