Resolution can't be changed - Majki - 06-20-2012
I can't change resolution of game neither in menu and cfg file.
My CFG file:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=farDn5WY
Any ideas?

You should say more about your configuration - hardware, os, drivers etc.
RE: Resolution can't be changed - Majki - 06-20-2012
Everything was fine for me. My specs are nothing special, Nvidia, Arch Linux. Until today.
RE: Resolution can't be changed - Mirio - 06-20-2012
What about the commands vid_height and vid_width?
RE: Resolution can't be changed - Majki - 06-20-2012
Okay, here comes funny part. Game is in 1280x800, but console says different:
Code:
^71 possible variable:
^7^3vid_height^7 is "800" ["768"] resolution
^7Draw_CachePic: failed to load gfx/menu/luminos/icon_mod_Nex25+AirContr
^7]vid_height
^7"vid_height" is "800" ["768"]
^7]vid_width
^7"vid_width" is "1280" ["1024"]RE: Resolution can't be changed - Mr. Bougo - 06-20-2012
Yeah, set the resolution using vid_height and vid_width.
For example, if your monitor's a 800x600, you type:
Code:
vid_width 800
vid_height 600
vid_restartThe vid_restart makes it so that you don't have to restart the game to have it set right.
RE: Resolution can't be changed - edh - 06-20-2012
Does anything get printed to the console when you try? What about running vid_restart? This will be required after changeing vid_width and vid_height manually and will give you the most useful information on the console.
I'm running Xonotic on Arch with NVIDIA and it's all working fine here on latest rsync.
RE: Resolution can't be changed - Majki - 06-20-2012
Well, Mr.Bougo I said, that settings are NOT applied. I ave deleted profile of the game, still nothing. After typing in commands manually, it's still 1280x800. But interesting stuff in the console after vid_restart
^7]vid_restart
^7VID_Restart: changing from fullscreen 1280x800x16bpp, to fullscreen 800x600x16bpp.
^7OpenGL Backend shutting down
^7Loading OpenGL driver libGL.so.1
^7Using XFree86-VidModeExtension Version 2.2
^7Using XVidMode fullscreen mode at 1280x800
I have a suspect. Recently, after nvidia upgrade I had to change one string in MATE (gnome fork) in order to get it running.

I noticed, that other games act weird too, when I use resolution other than native.
RE: Resolution can't be changed - edh - 06-20-2012
Strange. If you run Xonotic from the command line and append -vid_width 800 -vid_height 600 what happens? I would be very surprised if it does not work then.
RE: Resolution can't be changed - CuBe0wL - 06-20-2012
You might try vid_netwmfullscreen 1. That'll pin your resolution to what your system uses (also will enable alt+tab
)Only problem: now you really won't be able to change resolution from the game, only systemvise.
RE: Resolution can't be changed - Mr. Bougo - 06-20-2012
edh, just FYI, cvars are set using + instead of -. Same thing for console commands in general (+connect localhost etc.).
RE: Resolution can't be changed - Majki - 06-20-2012
Okay guys. I think it's not related with Xonotic at all. I have problem with other games, like Urban Terror, Unreal2004 - I'm marking this thread as INVALID.

Same thing for console commands in general (+connect localhost etc.).I guess I'm showing how much I still relate to doing things with Quake in the old days! With GLQuake you could only set video modes on the command line when starting the game and it was -width, -height and -bpp. I get the feeling that these and the -vid_ ones still work with Darkplaces even if everyone else uses +'s these days.

Oh, maybe they do, yeah. I don't know about that.
RE: Resolution can't be changed - Unknown273 - 08-06-2022
One silly fix that worked for me was to set the display scale to 100%
Mine was at 200% hence couldn't change the resolution ?♀️

I learned about this FOSS game thanks to this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/xonotic/comments/vp5r7b/xonotic_085_released/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
And tbh
I'm pretty god damn impressed by the game
Love it
