<div class="IPBDescription">In-game resolution</div>I'm sure there's a place I can find these answers but I did try my best to search for anyone having my problem.
<b>My problem</b>: I couldn't see the "connect to" under the servers. I figured it was the resolution so I changed it to the biggest. Still I was unable to connect to any servers since double clicking the server name doesn't connect.
I then accidentally changed the resolution to something too small (I swear it was 800x600 which I didn't think would mess up) and now all I see is a super small box in the top left of my screen. Nothing about this small screen/resolution is centered so there's like nothing I can do about it.
I'm pretty sure there's a run "launch options" command to auto set a resolution, can someone help me out?
The second question would be, why can't I visually see the "connect" button below the servers?
Thanks a ton guys, I'd really like to try the game out. I've uninstalled and reinstalled but alas it saved my resolution. My ATI drivers are up to date.

in windows xp:
open \documents and settings\owner\application data\natural selection 2\options.xml
edit it with x-resolution and y-resolution values (something like 1024x768 or 1280x800 if your monitor supports it).
or in windows 7
\%appdata\natural selection 2\options.xml
same as above.
people who need to run at 800x600 have to switch resolutions after they've connected to the server
I'm reinstalling now though, I /searched my computer and came up with nothing.
%appdata%\natural selection 2\options.xml .
I had hidden folders on; found the options file and changed it. Fixed it.
Thanks so much to those that helped.
