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?


CPU: 2x1,9 GB

RAM: 8 GB

graphics card: Intel HD

Are you sure you did not mistakenly edit the .ini file? Changes to the ini are not saved, only changes to the txt

I am. First tried the ini, then options.

English:
The Options.ini file is a relict from an old version of the game and not relevant anymore and can be deleted.
The correct file to edit is Options.txt ending with .txt

This file stores all game settings and changes done on this file will apply to the game when it is loaded.

Hope this helps!

Deutsch:

Die Options.ini Datei ist nur ein Überbleibsel von einer älteren Version des Spiels die nicht mehr benutzt wird und kann gelöscht werden.
Die richtige Datei ist Options.txt mit der Endung .txt

Diese Datei speichert alle Einstellungen des Spiels und Änderungen die an dieser Datei vorgenommen werden wirken sich auf das Spiel aus.


Ich hoffe das hilft dir weiter!

As I said before: If I change resolution to 640x400 in the options-file, it gets overwritten by the program. If I set the options-file to ROM, the game doesn´t start.

Ah yes, this is only because this low resultion is not supported by the game and it will fallback to the native resolution you set in windows.

The minumum value which works is 1024 x 768, if you change it to this or higher your change should apply.


Hope this helps!
