window isnt full screen like it used to be
« on: July 23, 2012, 01:40:22 am »

Hi there. I have just downloaded the free version of outerra and the first time I used it there were no problems in terms of the window size; everything was fitting into the fullscreen. The next time I started outerra up, however, the window was about half of what it used to be but the actual game was still in `fullscreen`mode so some things were cut off. I dont know how to get it back into fullscreen mode, can someone tell me how

In the eng.cfg file you can set fullscreen to true.  I have this happen when my external is off since my data directory is on that.

When you installed you were given an option to move the data directory to someplace.. If you didn't then your C:\programfiles\anteworld should have a file called eng.cfg. Open it in notepad and in there is a bit that says fullscreen=false.. change it to fullscreen=true and save the file

How do you pull it up? Can you make a screenshot of it?

Yea, there's a limit on the forum, but you could use an image hosting service like Minus.

What resolution are you using there? There's a certain minimum and 640x480 is too low. Please go to the menu, graphics config, and select a higher resolution there. We should probably remove the lower resolutions from the list.

If you can't get into the menu, please delete eng.cfg file so it uses default values where the resolution is 1280x720 windowed, after that you can set your resolution in the graphics config again, together with checking the fullscreen mode.
