Windows Mode
As soon as I chose 'windows mode' from the options menu the screen turned upside down, flipped insideout then crashed!
Sinse then each time I try to launch the game the launch screen starts upside down and inside out for 30 secs or so then the client crashes!

Caff, while your in the area, is there any way to make the windows mode move up slightly, so we can see all of the screen?
Nova - btw, holdings have gone a bit funny :O

if your screen is 1024x768, add the size of the window to the starport window and substract the size of the windows bar. So no, on 1024x768 resolution you probably shouldnt be able to see the entire screen. Switch to full screen mode =)BlackNova wrote:Mine is on that resolution, but the latest thing said in chat doesnt quite show, which is ever so slightly awkward :O
Holdings display in a funny way also, unless thats intended with the new patch? - awesome job with the windows tho

i did that with the same results the bottom chat bar wasn't showing all the wayCaffeinatedCoder wrote:if the bug is that your start menu is on top of the chatbar you can "auto-hide" the start menu. We still dont support different resolutions so 1024x768 is the way it is. If you can display more than that then windowed isnt gonna buy you much.

well it didn't help for me sadly enough, the game decided to shrink down, to the point where i couldn't press the exit button inside the port. i had to go back to full screen then go back to windowed view and had also to show my taskbar ortherwise it wouldn't work for me, i will see if i can make the resolution on desktop bigger but i think i am at the max already

sorry it took me so long moleman.
client.cfg is a file in your StarportGE directory. So if you installed to C:\Program Files\StarportGE... that is where it is.
So... I suppose the easiest way to do it would be to open up notepad:
Click Start->Run, type in notepad and hit enter. Or Start->Programs->Accessories->Notepad
Then go to File->Open (inside notepad)
Inside the Open dialog box type:
"C:\Program Files\StarportGE\client.cfg"
You might not need the quotes...
Then you should see what I refered to in my previous post .

hehe i have a vista laptop that's oddly very zoomed out, i can see the whole screen fine, only problem is that when i go to make the screen longer or taller, the window expands, the game does not, and when i try making it smaller, parts of the sge sceen get cut off, still, i just move the screen up to the top and only show the chat if im busy doin somthin else and wanna still chat. no idea why its zoomed out, at one point sge had glitched it and zoomed it in to the regular zoom of most computers, but after a bot of fooling with administrative rights it popped back out 0.o, any way i like it this way, i can run several of my fave games at once and the forums now

I think this is by far the best revision yet...I didn't realize that I was missing so many graphics on my vista laptop...I can now see ALL the graphics, whereas before my ship and the lower half of the screen was missing ships, including my own, and flak and laser cannons, and mines, etc....! I just assumed it was normal, because it showed the top half of my ship and not the bottom half...sorry i should have said something...
I use 1280x800 (always have) and it works great! I've moved my task bar to the right of the screen, so that I can access the entire view of the game.
One thing that I don't like is not being able to size the window, and it freezes the graphics when in the background...I would like to be able to shrink it (I know I said earlier that I wouldn't, but now I would), and I would love for the graphics to continue in the background when something else is in focus.
Also, the frame rate is half what it used to be, but I think the overall improvement in graphics for me, far outweighs this minor loss.
Great Job, keep it up!
Later,
Jeff
