Screen resolution?

Post by McGlu »

What screen resolutions does this game support? Specifically, I'm wondering if it would work on my 1024x600 netbook.

Both 1024x768 and 1024x600 are supported so it should be fine on the netbook. It was designed to be playable on laptops etc. as it is not processor or resource intensive so should not eat in to battery life as well.

We'll get the product page updated with this info.

Have tried netbook (Windows XP, 1024 X 600 screen resolution using Mobile Intel (R) 945 Express Chipset Family, 32 bit color, and on lauching the game from the first title screen I receive a Display Error that states (the spelling/grammar error is on the message) "Could no change display's resolution". Made game unplayable as the size of the next, opening choice screen, goes beyond the scope of the display. Tried in laptop with same chipset but 1280 X 800 screen resolution and worked fine. Netbook is a 10 inch Acer Inspire One. Bought this game so I would have a game that can go with me. Memory is 1 GB and processor is an Intel Atom N280 at 1.66 GHz. Oh tried FoG and that worked fine on the netbook.

I'll pass this to the developer and get some feedback ASAP.

I used this link and found out I have the latest driver so it isn't that.

We have a potential fix - I can send you the exe to try as we're building in other fixes for a patch? If you want it early please mail me at info@slitherine.co.uk and I'll send you back the modified game exe that hopefully fixes the issue.

FoG works perfectly fine on my Intel-based Netbook.

I was just kidding about all the other things people want fixed in that game besides fixing my little problem. FOG works fine on my netbook.

Sorry this is completely unrelated - its a different game from a different developer using a different engine. Please post any tech support issues for that game in the CEAW tech support forum.
