Hello,

Sorry if it has alrerady been answered but I can't go beyond a 1024 resolution with the game even if CoE mod supports resolutions up to 1600x1080.
Everytime I try the upper resolution, the game crashes to the desktop.
Do I have to modify the .cfg file or launch the game directly from the install file and not the shortcut?
Any idea would be appreciated

What operating system are you using?
Do your graphics card and your monitor both support the resolution you want to use?
You are using the latest version 8 of the Co8 modpack and version 4.6 of the Frontend?

Hello,

My OS is Windows 7
My graphic card and my monitor can absolutely support higher resolutions.
I do use V.8 of CoE.
But, Frontend is only V. 4.0. It's was anyway included in the downloadable CoE, so I don't understand why it's not updated to version 4.6.

Thanks a lot for your answer

I just installed TOEE and CoE8. I also have version 4.0 of the front end. Where do I find version 4.6?

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the link which I hadn't noticed before.

I was looking for info about resolution adjustment, too...but wanted to point out that the TFE-X.exe file itself actually says "4.0" if I right-click on the file itself and go properties/details. This had me stumped for awhile (because I was supposed to have downloaded "4.6") until I ran the TFE-X.exe and accessed the "About TFE-X front-end..." from the program's help menu--which clearly says "4.6." So if you thought you were running 4.0 but were in reality already running 4.6, that's probably why. The correct 4.6 version info never made it to the file's properties/details string (which still erroneously says "4.0")

I'm currently running the game @ 1920x1200 without issues so far. (By modifying the appropriate entries in the Toee.cfg file.) Any resolution > 1280x1024 exceeds the program's original programming, though, so there might be problems, even with all the latest updates applied.

Yes, CoE mod may work in 1920*1200, but CoE does not support it.
Moreover, the UI does not scale, so the text may be tiny..

If you have a 5:4 monitor, you can stay in max 1280*1024 unmodded resolution.
For a 4:3 screen, stay too in 1280*960 unmodded resolution.
For a 16:10 screen, go in Options of Front-End X (the mod launcher),
and you probably should choose 1280*800 (1440*900 and 1680*1050 should be too big).
For an uncommon 5:3 (15:9) screen, go for 1280*768 in Front-EndX.
For the common 16:9 monitor,
you should choose the smaller Front-End resolution: 1280*720 (1920*1080 is not supported).

At the moment, surprisingly enough, 1920x1200 with the 8.0 Modpack is working better than I've ever seen it...;) For some reason...;) The menus & text are big enough to read comfortably, but such was not always the case, IIRC, so I noticed I had scaled back to 1280x1024 (which is also fine, too.) But tonight as a result of looking at these threads again, I fired up the game to take a look & my 8:5 28" monitor @ 1920x1200 is actually running well and is *comfortable*. Go figure...!...;)

Anyway...a rhetorical question of sorts...Why does this game--it's atmosphere...draw me in almost hypnotically? I love it but I can't really figure out the appeal--it just "trips a lot of my triggers," if you know what I mean...;) TROIKA...gads what potential this team had! If not for their penchant--their *need* to rush things to prove some sort of "Yea we can build great games in small lots of time"...there's no telling what they might have accomplished. But as quickly as they slapped their games together they disbanded and floated away in the cosmic cycle....;) What a shame...what could have been.

I always wonder about associations like that...did a clash of egos do them in, were they giants wrestling the inevitability of their own individual hubris, what, I wonder??? Vampire:Redemption was actually a great game--a masterpiece, even, right up until the dodgy second act in modern San Fran (or wherever) that just killed the whole thing and said like a neon Empire state building: "We gotta' hurry and finish this!" The game had me mesmerized until that jarring point. Bloodlines--fatal flaws in the latter half--again, the neon signs & so on: "Gotta' get this done!"

No use cryin over spilled milk, I guess, *and* I'm sure I muddled some facts along the way...;) But this game--this game, like the others, draws me in an almost indescribable fashion...so I had to say something....!
