Title: Resolution and keybinds reseting
Post by: Leopardi on Monday, March 24, 2014, 07:52:11 AM
Is it possible to get a custom resolution of 1440x1080 and alt fire keybinds to stick instead of them reseting on each restart? It's unplayable now, can't bother with configuring the game every time.

There is a button called ''save'' or ''apply'', not sure since i haven't configured my settings for long time.

P.S
For windows 8.1 it doesn't work, nothing saves with this version, incase you have it, with windows 7 it should work perfectly and with windows 8. No idea about resolution, maybe one of the admins can answer you that.

I have win 7 and nothing works. I even edited the .inis and made them read only but the assist still forces the keybinds it wants.

Yes, that's what he said.
With windows 7 it works.
With windows 8 it doesn't.

Make sure go to properties and untick read me only? That could be a problem.

Unticking or ticking doesnt help, nothing helps, it has a mind of its own.

I'm sorry, I misread your post, I though you were saying you've done those things and they worked.

Well, all I can say is, I use windows 7 and it works for me. And I'm pretty sure most people here use Windows 7 (just a guess though).

So it must be something at your end.

If something works for some but not for you, usually the ultimate fix is to run Reset & Repair AA under Install Tab.

No this doesn't work, it still resets the keys every single time I quit the game. I guess you guys play with the standard mouse wheel for alt fire and Z for spotting since you don't notice this problem?

No.
I've modified my settings and they stay modified without a problem.

Then why does my assist keep on writing its own default version of the ini? If I put them read only it just complains "ERROR CAN'T WRITE. MUST WRITE DEFAULT SETTINGS."

close assist and start again, but with admin rights. then
you should try a "reset&repair" - look for the tab at assist menu.
start again with admin rights and make your settings. should be done like this.

Yeah still no luck, its the alt fire that keeps losing the Z key I've bound it to.

but the Z key is not programable i think. this key is for Zoom of the SAI i guess (i might be wrong).

Worked fine up to 2.8.5 and even in assist before these newer updates.

I think the Z key is the default key for Enemy Spotted.
If you want to bind the Z key to alt fire, you'll need to bind something else to EnemySpotted first.

That's solved now but what about the resolution? I want to play with 4:3 normal fov which is 1440x1080 but it always opens the game at 1920x1080.

Go assist, settings, video, full screen and write down the resolutions

Yeah I do that, they're both 1440x1080, but it starts up in 1920x1080 and I have to change the resolution with setres.

I have to use Advanced FS to get the resolution because in fullscreen it automatically uses 1280x960 or similar lower resolution and not the correct 1440x1080. It won't enable the correct resolution without Advanced FS.

I fixed the resolution with this trick. So for anyone else out there on a fullHD monitor who wants proper 4:3 fullscreen do this:

-First go to AMD catalyst and look under Information, then Software.
-Look for the 2D Driver Path. Make a note of the Path as you'll need it later.
-Go to start menu search for RegEdit
-Open Regedit as Administrator (You must open as admin otherwise regedit will not save changes).
-Open the folder as described in the 2D driver path.
-Look for a registry file in that folder called DALNonStandardModesBCD2 click Modify then add your chosen custom resolution to the list. (Mine was for 1440x1080 14 40 10 80 00 00 00 60 - the last two digits denote refresh rate)
-Exit Regedit
-Reboot
-Check Windows display and Catalyst Control to see your new resolution

With nvidia its easier you can just add the custom resolution in the driver settings.

or you can type @ in-game console: SetRes 1440x900 and restart the game

Uhm, Possessed, that's his problem. It doesn't save it. Next time he starts up again, he needs to do it again.

I had this, but entering the res in teh game console worked (saved).

Oh, OK. I figured he had already tried that, but I might have been wrong, he might only have tried the setting in the options.

No, the resolution is 1440x1080 not 1440x900, so the drivers didn't recognize as its not a standard resolution it and thats why it didn't accept it. Now after that registry trick it accepted the resolution normally with setres 1440x1080, and it works great.
