Problem With Hannibal

Post by Cataphract88 »

The latest instalment of Alea Jacta installed okay, but when I press 'play' it gives a ridiculous, unplayable screen resolution that alters the resolution for my pc after exiting the game. I have Windows 8.1.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Could you please attach a DxDiag report file to your post?

How to get a DxDiag report file:

1. Click on "START" (on Windows 8 press “Windows key” and the “R” key at the same time)
2. Click "run" (skip this step on Windows 8)
3. Type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. Check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. Click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice
6. Attach the file to your post

Open the folder where the game is installed and locate a file named "AGESettings.exe". Run it and click on the tab named "Display".
What options are selected on "Screen Mode" and "Screen Resolution"?

Screen Mode is: 'Fullscreen'.

Screen Resolution is: 'Use Desktop Resolution'.

Try changing to "Standard (Optimized)" and set Window Mode to "Maximized" and check if there's any difference.

Don't forget to click on the "Change" button. otherwise it won't change your settings.
