Can´t set resolution

I can´t set resolution. If I edit the ini-file, it gets overwritten all the time. If I set it to ROM, game doesn´t start. Maybe due to me playing the German version this time? Half a year ago I played the English one and editing the ini-file solved all problems.

Probably due to a resolution too high (frying CPU) I encounter massive problems with creature movements this time: Creatures wander off to places which should not be reachable for them and then complain because they can´t find their way back. Or they simply fall in holes. Sometimes they even travel through earth until they get stuck and can´t be rescued with a return spell. All the time they walk across lava and liquid gold so they die. Imps don´t find their way to work, rallied creatures get stuck on corners on their way to the flag. One time my Archon followed an Abyss leading him right out of the map, no way of getting him back in. Simply impossible to play this way.

What else can I try?

Hi Viktor,

Could you please run the game, try to set the resolution in the game options menu, then quit and provide us the game log file. Instructions on how to find and submit the log file here.

Not Fixable

Hey Viktor,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I've just had a closer look at your GPU and it looks like it falls far below minimum spec. As you can see here https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Mobile+Intel+HD&id=1088 your GPU scores on average 407 points on the PassMark benchmark.

Unfortunately War For the Overworld requires a minimum score of 1500 on the PassMark benchmark to run the game, as stated in our System Requirements. There's nothing we can really do to fix it other than recommending that you attempt to run in the absolute lowest video settings. I hope that you can find some way to enjoy the game, or an alternative machine to play on.

Sorry again that you are unable to play.

And how exactly do I run it in lowest resolution if I can´t set that? Do you think the resolution problem is a result of the GPU?

What is preventing you from setting the resolution of the game in the settings?

All issues you described in the second paragraph are symptoms of having poor performance.

The problem described in the first paragraph.

Does the in game settings page work for you?

Of course not, that´s why I tried the ini-file.

Please try to change the setting in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\War For The Overworld\WFTOGame_Data\GameData\options.txt

I did. Gets overwritten all the time as described above. That´s why I´m contacting you.
