Hi all, I'm replaying these games today but I'm having a problem with Deception. When I try to run the game I get the "there was a problem initializing graphics mode 1280x960" error. I got this error when playing the previous games too, but I fixed it by going to the setup and chaning graphics filter to 2x nearest-neighbour one, that way I could play the game in 640x480. The problem now is that when I choose that option on the setup and I click on "save and run", the game keeps trying to run at 1280x960 for whatever reason instead of running on the lower resolution.
I tried running the setup with admin privileges but it's the same. I'm pasting here the content of my acsetup.cfg file, maybe you can help:
[sound]
digiid=-1
midiid=-1
digiwin=1096302880
midiwin=-1
digiindx=0
midiindx=0
digiwinindx=0
midiwinindx=0
[misc]
gamecolordepth=32
defaultres=0
screenres=0
letterbox=0
defaultgfxdriver=D3D9
gfxdriver=D3D9
titletext=Blackwell Deception Setup
windowed=0
refresh=0
gfxfilter=StdScale2
sideborders=0
antialias=1
I tried chaging the "defaultres" line to 640x480 first and then to 1, but neither made any difference.
Please help!
EDIT: Ok I managed to solve it by chaging the filter to "none". I read on the Wadjet forums that Deception runs natively at 640x480, this means the setup utility is wrong because it says the normal resolution is 320x200, that's why it crashed for me when using filters.
