Just purchased BOBII. Having Resolution issues.

Post by Cobra5150 »

Hi I'm Cobra. I am new and have recently purchased the game.
Ive updated the game to 2.12 and am using the 2.12 multiskin pack. I have followed all the steps from this thread.

https://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewto ... 10&t=33263

I have done this: In Options > GFX - Use Windows Resolution
set this to Off.

I can choose 1600x1200x32 @ 60 and run the game. When I choose my native monitor resolution, !1920x1080x32 @ 60, the flight sequence will not run.
I'm not sure what the exclamation mark means.

Hmm. The ! is a left over from the original 2005 release
when 1920x1080 was not a common resolution, and I
think it just means the program finds it surprising (ie it
wonders if such a resolution can really work). At any
rate, it has no effect.

However, I don't have an immediate explanation for why you
can't get your native resolution to work. How does it fail?
A message, a hang, a crash?

I guess I'll need to know the OS version and vid card; it is possible
that you have hardware that is overwhelmed. Have you successfully
run other 3D programs at full resolution?

I guess if you're running OK at 1200x1600 your DX9 must be OK,
and not many other possible candidates... If you followed the
recommendations in the link, you also have your text dpi set to
96.

If it is an issue of not enough muscle somewhere, you should be able
to switch off multiskin (a bdg.txt parameter) and go through and set
all the features to minimum (including the textures to 1024 setting) and
see if that allows the full res to run.

That's all that occurs to me at the moment. Not sure what your tech
familiarity level is, so ask for whatever detail you require.

As mentioned, the exclamation point doesn't mean anything. I've run in both 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 and it's all fine.

I would suggest dropping the particle density to low though. Medium is recommended in the list you followed but i've had a few issues that went away when i dropped it to low. (and i honestly couldn't notice the graphical differences)

Does the 3D system start when you select a lower resolution or not at all regardless of what happens?
