Technical Question

Post by matrixviking »

Greetings;

Not sure if anyone can help out or not. I'm having a bit of a problem with screen resolution for BGI:TOTSC. Seems that its stuck in 640x480 mode, which cuts off about the last 1/2 inch or so on the bottom of my monitor.

I've: removed DX8.1 (which is what caused this, I think) and reinstalled DX8.0. The latest TOTSC patch *and* the DX8 patch are both installed...still the same thing. I tried to lower the res on my monitor; results in the same situation.

Is there some way to increase the screen res for BGI? I have an ATI 128 card with latest drivers, AMD 960 CPU with 384 MB or RAM.

Any helpful suggestions are welcome.

Can you not change your screen rez? That may help, or play the game in window mode.

Windowed mode at 800x600 sort of works. What's really annoying is that before I upgraded to DX 8.1, it worked fine.

Thanks for the tip! :)
