Resolution problem.

Sarmator

I recently bought a new monitor, so I tested out which resolution would be perfect for playing NS. I tried a widescreen one which my monitor reaaaally didnt like in which case it told me, no signal, resolution not supported. Now with this blank screen I can't revert to the previous resolution in the game. Ive tried re-installing but it seems the config file must be located elsewhere. So what I want to know is where is the Natural Selection Video configuration file located? Or the exact name of the file I need to alter to fix the game.


Thanks in advance.

(Probably a stupid question.)

Go to Properties of NS in Steam and you can enter command line options there ("Launch options" button). Reach it by right clicking on the Natural Selection text.

Put in:
-width X -height Y
where X and Y is the resolution you want, for example:
-width 1024 -height 768

Once in game, you should be able to switch it around more if you wish.

Go to C:\Users\YourWindowsLogonHere\AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2

Use Notepad to open options.xml

You will see something similar to:

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'><graphics>
<display>
<x-resolution>1920</x-resolution>
<quality>2</quality>
<y-resolution>1080</y-resolution>
<fullscreen>true</fullscreen>
<invertedmouse>false</invertedmouse>
</display>
</graphics></div>

Change the resolution by hand to something small & non-widescreen like:

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain' style='height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto'><graphics>
<display>
<x-resolution>1024</x-resolution>
<quality>1</quality>
<y-resolution>768</y-resolution>
<fullscreen>false</fullscreen>
<invertedmouse>false</invertedmouse>
</display>
</graphics></div>

Also dropping the quality for now to '1' & setting windowed mode as fullscreen false.

That should get it working.
