Anomaly Warzone Earth Forum

I try to launch the game, screen becomes black and my monitor Dell U2412M displays message about unsupported resolution. It asks to change resolution to native 1920x1200. It's monitor's message, not an OS's one or something.

I tryed to delete config.bin3 file, no effect.

I tryed to put 0x04B0 (1200) into config.bin3 at offset 0x30 instead of original 0x438 (1080), no effect.

So I suggest, that the game erroneously detected my resolution as 1920x1080 when 1920x1200 should be.

Can I (a) get a fix for this or (b) force a desired resolution with command line switches or anyway (c) launch the game in windowed mode?

I read that some people have switched the game to windowed mode, but I didn't find a way to do this having no access to game UI.

My DxDiag.txt is attached.

Any news?

Hey, guys, can I help you anyway in decision?

Problem still stays, I cannot launch my bought game during four days.

tarkill,

I will ask the development team if there is a cli command to force a resolution to run at. I hope to have an answer for you soon, sorry for the long time to hear anything been really busy myself but I will find out for you.

Thanks for the quick response and I hope to provide you with one back. I'll post what I get as soon as I find out and hopefully get you playing the game as fast as possible.

Thanks a lot!

tarkill,

I have some news about this issue. It is a known problem and has been corrected in the upcoming 1.3 patch. I don't have a hard date for it but should be soon. If I hear an official date for release I will let you know.
