SFK1942 questions?

[Laffertytig]

hi,

whenever i change the resolution size and apply it i dont see any visible change. the problem is when i start the tutorial missions the text that appears at the top of the screen cuts off which normally suggests a resolution problem.

when i change resolutions, there should be some visible cue that its changed. at least thats the way every other game ive played works.

Do you change the resolution in the control panel of your pc or in the game menu????

I don't tinker with the resolution of my pc( a laptop) I just adjust it into the game proper.When you adjust the resolution do you see any difference in texture etc?

Hang on the game is worth the effort. Don't give up too easily!

its the resolution in game im on about. is noone else havin this problem with the subtitles on the training mission disappearing at the top of the screen?

Are you using the default resolution ascribed to you in the game video menu based on your systems specifications and capacity or did you adjust the resolution based on your own preferences? To give you an example my graphic card surpasses the game's requirements so the resolution was defaulted by the game engine to 1440 X 960 or something like that. But because I make user-made missions with lots of tanks and units on the map that I would get better FPS by adjusting the resolution downward to 1280 X 768. What I am getting at is the if you set the game resolution too high it may make your screens too wide and thus the problem you reported. Or setting your resolution at low values such as 800 X 640 may cause a similar problem.

I checked many threads of Sf on different fora and I have not come across any post reporting a problem like yours.

Yes, I'm having this problem also
I finally got to try SFK on a friends pc[wide screen] in the settings is said the pc exceeded the requirements of the game, so we used auto detect and the setting did not change. so we entered the game in the training missions and could not read the text at the top of the screen. We exited checked auto detect and the resolution. We then tried a lower resolution but we still cant see the text and there seemed to be no change, We tried lowering resolution in the game settings only as the pc is my friends and is set up the way he likes it and works fine on all other games

Is there a solution to this ?

Thanks guys, the game looks great btw

Honestly Folks I have no idea what your resolution problem can be? I will post your problem on the Graviteam forum( it's the company that made the game) and see if Iceman or one of the developers has an idea but frankly I am flabbergasted.Never had that problem and I thought those who had it had it fixed with the wide-screen patch.... Since I just acquired a 24 " screen myself I am anxious to see if I'll have the same problem although to tell you the truth as long as i can play the game and see everything I can live without reading or seeing the subtitles.Can you at least see all the action when you play a mission?

Do you have an Nvidia or ATI graphic card? Because with Nvidia you just right click your screen and you'll have access to the graphic card settings etc.It might worth checking out to see if everything is properly adjusted.Otherwise with an ATI card you have to go to the control panel and check the settings under peripherals or soMething like that.I'll post on the SF graviteam forum and see what answers if any I get.

Cheers

Now that I have a wide screen(24") I am experiencing the same problem.Some of the text is either half covered or half missing at the top and bottom of the screen. I haven't used the wide-screen patch because for me this is really a minor inconvenient as I don't read or care about the text anyway.I don't have this problem with my Toshiba laptop with a 17" screen.It must be something to do with the way the original game was designed.The only suggestion is if you have an older, smaller screen then use it to play SF otherwise enjoy the game without some of the text believe me this game is much morew than that.
