TheOneAndOnly Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I know its something I have done as it was working fine until I attempted to tweak some display settings and I put the screen res too high so I had to change it back via control panel when I went back on to em4 it just CTD when I run it in compatibility mode for windows XP (service pack3) it opens but the buttons in the main menu are shown like "ID_STATIC Options" "ID_Quit" "ID_Static_Freeplay" ETC I have tried to take a screen shot to show you guys but the screen shot just comes up black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex03 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Have you set the right resolution in the config-file ? U need a porgram like FRAPS or DxTory to make screenshots . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneAndOnly Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 what would be a safe res to set it as? completely forgot about it also I cant really remember where to find it what is it shown as in the cfg file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex03 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 It should say in the config file like this <var name="r_xres" value="1280" /><var name="r_yres" value="1024" /> then you just fill in you desktop resolution. Mine would be like this <var name="r_xres" value="1920" /><var name="r_yres" value="1200" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneAndOnly Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 okay I got it thanks but it still CTD I can only run it as administrator but then in that case all the text on the game is visible like this "ID_Quit" "ID_Static_Freeplay" ETCI could attach a cfg+logfile if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex03 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Do that, and reinstal your game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneAndOnly Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Have already reinstalled and its not changed anything (cant attach cfg I don't have permission)logfile.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex03 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Then you need to give yourself the permission to edit the config-file. It is most surely the reason for the CTD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneAndOnly Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I don't have permission to attach the cfg to the forum for some reason I do have permission to edit the cfg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
