Resolution Bug!


Master-Blade

 

Posted

Hey all. just reinstalled the game last night and patched it up all was going well untill I started up the game...
It will not allow me to change my resolution so everytime I mouse over something its actually like 2 inches above where my mouse pointer is. I dont think its any issue with my graphics card since no other game has had this problem. I'm running on Windows Vista if anyone knows how to help please let me know.

Check out this thread, Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines



Then post the results of these two programs:

<ul type="square">[*]CoH Helper - it will show us basic computer settings and your CoH configuration.
[*]HijackThis - it will show us what's running on your computer concurrently with CoH. Click on "Do a system Scan and save a logfile." It will automatically open up Notepad and put the info there. Make sure Wordwrap is off in Notepad (Format &gt; Wordwrap unchecked) before you cut and paste here.[/list]

To change resolution outside the game, use: Tweak CoH. I recommend using Windowed Mode, and then when you get into the game, maximize the window.

Note
I do use TweakCoH but my resolution is still buggy, for example I see half the opening menu not even half but 1/4th of it in my top left corner of my screen no matter what resolution.

I've seen a few reports where Steam was involved, and wiping out the Steam load and installing clean to a different folder, for example C:\Games\CityOfHeroes\ , resolved the problems.

As for the other stuff running .... Hmmm .....

Kill off the 02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670 entry, Comrade.exe entry, Real Player entries, Google Toolbar updater and notifier entries, Olympus Device Detector entries, Scramby entries, PunkBuster entries, iPod entries, Logitech Desktop Messenger entries, the other various Messenger entries, the Adobe updater entries, Quicktime entries, java entries, the Pure Networks entries, Sure Thing entries .... well ... you can get the gist of this pretty quickly.

There are a lot of programs running simultaneously and any of them could be a part of the reason you are having these problems, or a combination of them could be causing the issues.

Perhaps the CoH Helper log with shine a bit more light on the problem.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

First off, upgrade Vista to SP2.

Second, your C: drive is getting really full, which will cause problems not only for Windows but also for CoH since it is installed on the C: drive. The swap file is goning to be using what little free space you have on the C drive quite a bit with only 2 Gb of ram.

Your video and Audio drivers are seriously out of date. For the video drivers, I'd recommend getting the 185.xx series of drivers instead of the 186.x series. I keep hearing that the 186 drivers are acting a bit wonky for people using Vista or Windows 7.

Try loading the game in Safe Mode and adjust the graphics settings from there instead of using Tweak CoH. I've had a few issues with Tweak CoH not keeping settings as well, so I used it only to get me a base entry and out of full screen mode, then was able to get in and tweak using the in game settings.

To get into Safe Mode, start the Updater, click Next but before clicking Agree put a check mark in the Safe Mode box. This will look rather ugly, but it will let you get to the menus reliably to adjust settings. You may want to set it to run in Windowed mode as well, so that if it hangs you can get to the Task Bar and Start buttons easier to try to kill the program and start over.

EDIT: Try this link to download the 185.85 WHQL drivers.

Ok well, I installed the updates and that still did not fix the problem. Even with safe mode the settings have been refusing to safe, heres a screenshot i took of trying to boot up without safe mode after making changes...

The 177.79 drivers were notorious for causing exactly what you describe, and what I see in your screenshot.

Upgrade to 185.85 like Texas_Justice suggests.
