I do want to get this figured out, but would be much more helpful if I just had a monitor setup of my own to work through, LOL

Everything I see shows that it probably would change the resolution like it did when under fullscreen, but at least show us the real settings it was using, so I’m a bit confused why it didn’t. Also, when you actually…[Read more]

Hi Jeffrey, good news, the window mode does indeed workaround my issue. Both the rez and UI now change according to what i set config to! I can run the game in 1440p with no issues so far. I would be nice to run in full screen eventually, as i need to run in windowed to get my UI out of tiny 4k mode, but for the time being this works rather…[Read more]

Try switching to windowed and see if that changes it.

Awhile back, I changed the fullscreen mode to select the “best” supported resolution for the monitor, because if you select 800 x 600, but your start.ini is set to something wonky and unsupported 900 x 1080, the game used to crash. So I decided for the case where someone may have manually…[Read more]

correct, i am not playing in window mode

very nice updates, can’t wait to try them out! Having itch to download the updated fiels for me is great, it was a good choice for a host site. Now I just need to get my old computer working again so that I can grab my custom music files from my older game copy…

Mr. Jeffrey,

THX awfully for your PROMPT attn.

Hi Jeffrey,

lightning fast as ever. Thanks for the immediate fix! 🙂

Hmmm, I think I have a theory…are you playing in “Fullscreen” mode? Not windowed?

Reporting in: Upon pressing f4, very interestingly, it reports 1920×1080

Screen shot:

This turned out to be a bug for DX9 64 bit, that the 32 bit DX 9 did not have. I fixed it and uploaded to Itch a few minutes ago.

Hi,

I can verify Oldtimer’s bug. It’s the same here, no matter with which character.

After installing the latest update the game crashes when I close the ship chest after putting items there.

Rgds, Oldtimer

OK, let’s verify what the game is really running now…

Find Programconsole.c and open with a text editor. Replace the entire contents with the following:

void ExecuteConsole()
{
Log_SetStringToLog("screen_x " + Render.screen_x);
Log_SetStringToLog("screen_y " + Render.screen_y);
}

Save, then launch and load that save game. Once…[Read more]

They do say 1920×1080

EDIT: just tried starting a new game and i still get small UI

Hmmm, unsure as I don’t have “nice things” to check for myself the behavior…

Can you find the start.ini for ERAS, open in a text editor and verify the screen_x and screen_y values? What do they say?

I put the config in that directory and it worked! (preface, i run my desktop native at 1080p) I set the game config to run in 4k, and maxed out the other settings and it ran great, but the UI was too small (would be great to have a UI resize option in the future!) so I quit and changed config to 1440p.

When i loaded my save again, the UI…[Read more]

If you want something to show at level 1 or above, scroll down to the bullets and add what you want like this:

TakeNItems(ch,"bullet", Rand(20)+10);
TakeNItems(ch,"potion1", Rand(11)+1);

//Add line here
if (rand(8) == 1) { TakeNItems(ch,"blade29", 1);}
if (rand(8) == 1) { TakeNItems(ch,"cirass1", 1);}

The rand(8) == 1 simply means there is a 1…[Read more]

If one uses the Itch client to launch the config or game, I tried to add settings for all of the possibilities in the .itch.example.toml file found in the gentlemen-of-fortune-maelstrom-engine that gets created by the Itch install. However, the Itch install does not provide a way to alter those paths and/or that file if one chooses a different…[Read more]

I do have a questing as it comes to configuring the game settings before actually launching the…[Read more]
