Screen Resolution Trouble - Menu

Pillar · 04-13-11, 05:49 PM

When I first run Steel Fury K42, it starts to load fine, but when the progress bar gets to 12% the resolution drops and the menu loads, showing me only the upper left corner of the screen. I can see the word "Menu" and the background of picture of a tank.

I can't access any of the buttons or pan the screen in any way.

I manually edited the resolution in the config file and still have the same problem.

My version is the unofficial 0.1 patch and I've tried the widescreen patch.

I'm using an ATI HD 5700

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like it might be a video-driver problem, try updating the drivers for the graphics card,

An ATI 5700????Never heard of that one?Unless you mean HD 5770? What in game screen resolution do you use?Whatr is your monitor's screen resolution? Have you tried tinkering with both?Lowering or adjusting the screen res until you get the size you like? I have an ATI HD 5670 and I had to uncouple the game res from my monitor res(uncheck the desk resolution option in game' s video settings menu.

From the sound of it, you've resolved the problem already?

No I still have the problem. I can't access the game's video options menu because of the way the screen gets skewed.

I've tried tinkering with every kind of desktop resolution I can think of. I'm at a loss

Have you tinkered with the refresh rate? Maybe its something the monitor can't handle?
