Title: Resolution stuck at default (Solved,Thx)
Post by: lordfreespace on September 05, 2013, 11:04:00 pm: Hey,

I'm having trouble with the resolution being stuck at 800x600 regardless of what I choose in the FSOPEN launcher (5.5).
I am using MediaVps (most recent version), I have verified that all the files are located in the C:\Games\Freespace2\mediavps_3612. Updated Nvidia drivers, and I am using FSOPEN_3_7_0.
I don't receive any error messages, and the models/backrounds/effects are all present without any other issues. Also this is an install from my original (yes, you are hearing smugness there) retail cds.
Things I have already tried:

setting a custom flag -res 1650x1050, which I found in another similar thread
tried compatibility mode and giving administrator rights
reinstalled up-to-date nvidia drivers
Using wxlauncher, didn't help matters.

I attached both my FS log and a dxdiag report.

Let me know if there is anything else you require!

Thanks!

To get it, you need to reinstall the game. During installation, when presented with a list of components to install, make sure every option is checked.
