Hi ya,
I installed the latest version of Armagetron (0.2.8.3), fired it up and went to the video settings page and changed from windowed mode to full-screen and set the windowed/fullscreen resolutions to be the same as my monitor (1680x1050). Hit the "go" button, the resolution changed and my screen was turned into a scrambled mess.
I couldn't use the in-game menus any more so can't change the resolution (or anything else) that way so I looked for some other way to reset the settings.
I looked in the config files and couldn't find anything related setting screen size/res. I searched for "window", "1680" and go no hits. I googled a bit and searched for "screenmode" with no result. I looked for a user.cfg file and couldn't find it. I looked in the registry for Armagetron but found nothing of use. I looked in the Windows "Documents and Settings" folders to no end. I searched these forums but found only mention of "user.cfg" of which I can find no trace! At my wits end i uninstalled and re-installed Armagetron but it's remembered the screen settings somehow (tears hair out). Please Armagetron, pimp my... er, I mean, how do I change the screen resolution/windowed mode setting outside of the game?
EDIT: On Windows, the user.cfg file is located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\Application Data\Armagetron\var\user.cfg

Re: screen corrupt
The items you're looking for are in 'user.cfg'. Search harder
Tell Explorer to show you hidden files, the "Application Data" folder is usually hidden. Check this page for location pointers: http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php? ... g_the_game

Re: screen corrupt
After you find that pesky user.cfg file, you can open it in any text editor and look for the line "Fullscreen". Change it from 1 (on) to 0 (off, for windowed mode).
Also, welcome to ArmagetronAD.
Edit: Oops, for got to tell you this: You can change the windowed size with the lines...It should be obvious the setting above is for a 640x480 size window.

Code: Select all
ARMAGETRON_WINDOWSIZE_H 480
ARMAGETRON_WINDOWSIZE_W 640
Re: screen corrupt
oh god I found it, I found it (sobs to self):
C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\Application Data\Armagetron\var\user.cfg
EDIT:
I deleted the user.cfg file and started Arma'. It started at 800x600 in full screen mode. I Then changed the "Screen Resolution" to 1680x1050 and applied this with no problems. So, all working now.
