Thread: Resolution quesiton

    Red face Resolution quesiton

    HI, I'm very new to this forum.
    Recently I found this very ancient game that I played when I was a kid and am so thrilled that there is this fan expansion.
    But, I can't get this working correctly.
    I'm using a win10 on my macbook.
    I'm using a 2880x1800 resolution for the system.
    When I start keeperFX in fullscreen mode, it only shows me part of the screen,(i.e. the top left part of the whole view).
    I tried to change the resolution in launcher and cfg but didn't work.
    I also tried window mode, but the window was so small that I could barely see the details.
    Please help me!

    Did you try a smaller resolution like 1920?
    Also not sure to which extent SDL1 supports retina displays.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I tried 1920 resolutions but it gave me an error when I wanted to launch the game in fullscreen mode.
    I guess it doesn't work well in the retina screen? Is that it?

    What kind of error? Is there anything in the keeperfx.log?
    I guess you could also give the latest official dlls a try: https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.15-win32.zip

    Indeed, tell us what kind of error and what the log file says. But you could also try to force -windib instead of directx to see if that works.

    The popup error is:
    Setting up game failed.
    This error in 'LbBullfrogMain' makes the program unable to continue. See 'keeperfx.log' for details.

    And the log files was:
    Dungeon Keeper FX ver 0.4.6.1670 (heavylog release)

    If I go 1280x800, I could enter the game except for the view being incomplete. (only the top left part of the image was displayed.)

    I want to play it anyway so I tried the window mode. The window was so small that I could barely see anything clearly....

    Strange aspect ratio you have there,... do you have a regular 16:9 monitor, or do you actually have a 16:10 monitor or something?

    Try 1280x720 or 1920x1080 instead. Or even 848x480.

    Yes because I'm using win10 on my macbook (bootcamp). The system resolution is high.
    From the launcher, I can not see the resolutions you mentioned. How can I do it?

    I believe you can just type in the launcher as well, whatever values you want, but if not, just edit your keeperfx.cfg with a text editor like notepad. Change the INGAME_RES line to, I don't know,...

    INGAME_RES=1280x720x32 848x480w32 2880x1800x32

    or something. Launch the game, start a level, and press Alt+R to change between them. The w you see in the middle one makes that one 'windowed'.
