I have started the game with the -window feature on the command line. If I don't do this, the game just crashes to the desktop. When I do use the windows feature, in my display setup I get "null" for adapter and also "null" for resolution, so I can't change it.

I have used Co8 and without with same circumstances. Anyone know how to stop this null business and give me control of the adapter and resolution I use? Help appreciated

Open up your toee.cfg file in Notepad and change these entries to the following, particularly video_adapter:

video_adapter=0
video_width=1024
video_height=768

Thanks for answering...

unfortunately setting that stuff manually in the toee.cfg file doesn't fix it. I still have to run -window mode for the game to start. And then of course, it just runs in window which sucks too. Any other ideas?

Yeah, I still get the "null" setting for both video adapter and also resolution. Maybe I have a setting in the registry that it won't update. It's too bad because I would like to try Co8 8.0

I'm not sure where the problem lies, but the fact that the game is not seeing your adapter is why you have this issue.

I am also having this problem.. this is a fresh clean install from GOG. no mods

I am running
Intel core 2 duo 2.7Ghz
4 gigs DDR 3 mem
Nvidia mother board chip set ( 6100 series if I recall )
Nvidia 240 GT video card with 1Gig mem

I keep all my drivers up to date as much as possible.

at first when I try to launch it crashes with out putting anything on the screen.. then I came acrossed this post and added the -window and well it launches but most of the video settings are (null) and when I try to change ones that is not (null) the game locks up.

Sorry to revive this in 2020 Lol. I was searching for a solution to this problem too, then I resolved it simply by adding “window=1” to the last line of ToEE.cfg. Hope this helps others who encounter the samevproblem with modern rigs.
