2.2 Menu Issue

[troymc]

I'll open a ticket for this if it will help. I'm building 2.2 from svn so it's 2.2 branch r7263, and I didn't know if I should file this as version 2.2 beta_2 or what.

In the Video Options Menu - The Resolution does not cycle thru available resolutions. Once it reaches max res, it's stuck, and you have to quit & restart via command-line --resolution options to fix.

Um... the resolution is supposed to cycle down...

This might have something to do with my code to remove resolutions smaller than 640x400, but I don't think it could actually cause something like that...

Hmm. Just tested it, and it went from 640x480 to 1280x1024 then back to 640x480 again. So It seems like it is working OK.

Just updated from svn, cleaned & built r7274 and an still seeing the same/similar issue.

I've played with it some more, and hope this might help:

• I have dual 1280x1024 displays on an nVidia 9800 GT, and run linux.
  
  If I start the game with "./warzone2100 --resolution=640x480" <-- or any resolution
  
  When I go to video options, the resolution is set correctly to 640x480.
  
  I left-click once, and it jumps straight to 2560x1024. From that point on, nothing happens - It won't change.
  
  A couple of revs ago, it would at least cycle _up_ thru the resolutions, but it would never cycle back to the beginning. (eg 1024x768 --> 1280x1024 --> 2560x1024 and stop)

Maybe this is an issue with how it detects available resolutions on multi-monitor systems?

Ok, I played around a little more.

• Updated, cleaned & rebuilt trunk and saw the same issue.
  
  Updated, cleaned & rebuilt 2.1 and saw the same issue.

So I configured my system to use only one monitor - and all versions work correctly.

The resolution correctly cycles *down* thru all resolutions.


I'm not sure if it's dual-monitors in general or nVidia's TwinView specifically, but I have another multi-mon system at work that does not use nVidia. Instead it uses an ATI card running xinerama. So I'll give it a try on it and see what happens.

Okay, good, it's not my bug.

What's happening is that nVidia TwinView is reporting that it doesn't support any other resolution except 2560x1024. That's why Warzone doesn't let you change the resolution. File a bug with nVidia?

If you want something other than full screen resolution, try running in --window mode.
