Is there currently a version of FS_Open that will run FS2 in 640x480 resolution? My graphics card--one of the second-rate Intel integrated graphics controller kind--has real difficulty running FS2 in high resolution, as seems to be the FS_Open default.
Or, at least, it was the default the last time I downloaded the open source, which was some time ago. When I tried to run the launcher available at the time, I received a "cannot create device" error that would pop up no matter what mode I tried to play in, be it DX8 or not. Prior to that, I found I could use the .exe without the launcher (albeit in high resolution, which made play very sluggish). This, however, no longer worked either, since the launcher settings had saved themselves to the registry and kept giving me the same error. I'm no good at editing registry values, so I decided to start from scratch, uninstalling the open source as well as FS2.
When I tried to restart my computer, it wouldn't boot back up. Even when I used the "last good startup" in the XP setup, nothing would happen. I'd get the XP "Loading screen", and then everything would go black.
Congratulations, FSSCP. You killed my computer.
All this was several months ago, of course, and doing an XP reinstall/repair fixed the problem--whatever it was--but it's not an experience I'd care to endure again. If I can't play FS_Open in a resolution that won't make my computer crawl (and preferably, if I can't set it up without a launcher that will make XP explode), then I'm afraid I can't play it at all. I really want to get the most out of the FSPort and Inferno, and I appreciate the work you guys are doing... but is there anything you can do in the way of lower resolution?
