Resolutions not saving?

Postby devilmonk » 20 Jul 2014, 04:45

So I reinstalled Forged Alliance and FaForever due to some issues, now it works. The problem is, when I change the resolution, the settings aren't being saved.

More accurately, It allows me to change my primary monitor to 1920, 1080, 60, and when I exit it saves the resolution, however when I try to add my second monitor, all the settings go back to default - 1 monitor, 1200x800 or something. When I go to the settings, it says that its 1920, 1080 and that I have my secondary monitor attached, but I clearly do not.


I tried changing the Game.pref file's resolution manually to;

profile = {
current = 2,
profiles = {
{
Name = 'fds',
options = {
primary_adapter = '1920,1080,60',
secondary_adapter = '1650,1050,60'
}
},
{
console_size = 5,
activeFilters = {
selection = true,


I also tried to change resolutions off base game instead of through FaF, neither solution is working.

You say you reinstalled FA, did you launch it on its own and create a profile in game? Or have you just been launching it through FAF?

What Scoot says; took me some time to figure out too.

And FA is way too buggy with dual screen. Only use it when you play games that don't last long...

I have successfully played quite a few matches on two screens though...

did you tryed basicly create new profile in FA? or you just trow in some game.prefs ?
i am not sure how exactly it all works but if you launch your FA.exe C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe
and then create a profile, all settings should save, unless FA have no access to game.prefs file

Me too, but most of my games last about an hour and at that point crashes will be ~20%...
