Anteworld starting in ridiculously small window
« on: July 03, 2013, 10:22:43 pm »

Hey guys! Every time I try to start Anteworld up, I get the message about having outdated drivers or whatever. I have played Anteworld on my laptop with no problems before, so I just disregard it. Recently, however, Anteworld starts up in a window of about 300x200, which is way to small to see. I don't think I changed any settings to make it that way, and I don't know how to change it back. When I start it up, I get the "please buy the full alpha" screen, although the small dimensions of the window mean I can only read a quarter of the message. By pressing Tab and then Enter, I'm able to go into the game. It runs completely fine, but I can't access the game settings on the top because, again, the window is too small. How can I change the window size? Please help! Thanks!

You should be able to manually change the config file.

The config file is in the Outerra folder in the root USER folder such as
C:\Users\RuecanOnRails\Outerra

The general settings appear to be saved in eng.cfg
Simply open it up using notepad

The very first section contains your resolution data. Here is my settings as a reference for full screen 1080p with 120hz monitor.
renderer_config =  (renderer_config) {
   screen_width = 1920,
   screen_height = 1080,
   fullscreen = true,
   swap_interval = 0,
   msaa = 0,
   debug_mode = false,
   debug_async = true,
   refresh_rate = 120,
   disable_composition = false
},


Hopefully that helps. If not, then you may have further issues. Have you tried updating your drivers?
You could also try making a backup of your data and try reinstalling.
