    Unhappy Resolution problems?

    Hallo everybody!
    First, sorry for my bad english. Im german and i love DK!

    Alright..
    I got a little problem with KeeperFX.. Some time ago, it worked fine and i could play DK.
    after some months, i saw origin gives free Theme Hospital games away.. and after watching the intro, i wanted to play DK again ^^

    But this time, i get these grafic bugs and cant play the game..
    Options and KeeperFX settings are original. i re-installed the whole thing - doesn't work..

    i use the 0.4.5 KeeperFX with a original DK Gold CD.
    i copied the complete DK CD on my Hard Drive and installed KeeperFX.
    Then i started KeeperFX and tried to install DK. doesn't work.
    then i copied the needed Files manual in de KeeperFX folders.. doesn't work.

    Screen:

    Spoiler




    KeeperFX LOG:

    Spoiler



    Hope its my fault.. cause it would be very sad if i cannot play DK anymore..
    Thanks for help!

    You either have video card driver issues, or another app is using DirectX and messing with your screen.

    Either way, you may work around this by selecting another video output for KeeperFX in launcher options.

    alright, thank you!

    you mean the "Force Driver" Check at SDL Video driver? Cause this worked for me.
    Force driver "windib" works fine.
    or use "-vidriver windib" at command line^^



    thank you very much for your help!

    Yes, this is what I ment.
    WinDIB output may sometimes be choppy though.
    In case of such problems (screen tearing), you may also try DirectX in windowed mode.

    And if you'll try 32-bit colour?

    ie. 640x480w32?

    Wonderful, in 32bit its working.
    But the Window is very small.. wich resolution could be edited without crashin the game?
    i've read somewhere about resolution issues at the menu or something like that..

    EDIT
    Alright, i think i play on windib, fullscreen for now.. the directX window thing is too small and other resolutions doesn't work.

    as a last opinion.. could multi-screens do problems or something like that? cause i got 2 Monitors an my GPU.. dont know if it makes some issues..


    EDIT²
    After an hour gameplay, DK just freezed.. hm..

    You could always give it a shot to disable a single monitor and see if the problems disappear.

    The windowed mode in 1280x1024x32 or 1024x768x32 don't work for you?

    @YourMaster
    Nope, keeps always 320x200 ingame..

    i unpluged the second monitor.
    standart settings - nope
    standart settings w/ 32bit - nope
    force driver directX - nope
    force driver directX w/ 32bit - nope


    and with windib, the game freezes after an hour..
    i will use the windib fullscreen setting with heavylog and post it here, as it crash the next time.



    EDIT:
    Windib, Fullscreen, 1024x768x32 Ingame
    Played 5 seconds the first Map of the original Campaign before DK crashed

    I can't see anything suspicious in the logs.

    What you could do, if you feel strong enough with computers knowledge, is to try to debug the problem.

    To debug, we programmers use a debugger - ie. GDB. You can download its "bin" package here, though I'm sure there are other places and versions of GDB which will also work:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/ming...b/gdb-7.6.1-1/

    Then, you'd have to place GDB files into KeeperFX folder, and run KeeperFX through GDB, ie:
    Code:
    gdb --args keeperfx_hvlog -nointro -alex -nocd
    Doing so will provide you with a console containing something like:
    Code:
    GNU GDB version ...
    [...]
    Reading symbols...
    (gdb)_
    In the console, type "run" - this will start the game, but debugger will be watching in the background. In case the game crashes, debugger will kick in (it may take up to 20 seconds of unresponsiveness).

    When debugger will stop the application, back to the console and type "bt" (shortcut from backtrace) - this will show place in KeeperFX code when the invalid operation was executed. Paste that on the forum. Then you may exit the debugger with "quit".
