Change resolution

[madeleinebarn]

Hello,
I've been wanting to try the demo, but I've run into an issue. My game is set to windowed mode at a low resolution compared to my native 5120x1440. When I go to create my character, the screen blocks my access to the button needed to proceed. I can see the bottom of the name box, but I don't see a button to move forward. Is there a way to change the resolution before reaching the character creation screen?

If you hit Alt + Enter with the Project Gorgon window as you active window, it will switch it to Full Screen. Hitting Alt + Enter again will switch it back to Window mode. Clicking on the Title Bar at the top of the window will make sure it is the active window.

If going full screen is all that is needed to get around the issue, that would be great. However, I'll try to explain how to edit the game config file incase the first step wasn't enough.

Open
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\LocalLow\Elder Game\Project Gorgon\GorgonSettings.txt
in notepad, replacing <user name> with your user name on your computer, assuming you are using Windows.

then search for lines in the text similar to lines below

i PrefsFullScreenWidth 0 1920
i PrefsFullScreenHeight 0 1080

you could try changing them to the ones below

i PrefsFullScreenWidth 0 5120
i PrefsFullScreenHeight 0 1440

save the file and open Gorgon. Use Alt + Enter to switch out of windowed mode and see if that works.


Let us know if it works.
