Tech support question about screen resolution

Post by otakuj462 » Tue Jul 18, 2006 12:06 am

Hi all! I'm extremely excited to try this game, but unfortunately, I've broken the configuration before I had a chance to play it. I was trying to set the screen resolution to 1280x800, and when I didn't find that size option, I accidentally set the resolution to high. Now Lugaru won't launch, and gives me an error message stating that it can't play at such a high resolution.
I'm running Lugaru in Gentoo Linux, and when I couldn't find the config file, I re-emerged, but the problem persisted!
I found a config.txt file in /opt/lugaru/Data, but that has default settings, and so does not appear to be the critical config file.
If anyone has any idea of how to fix this, I would appreciate your advice.
Thanks.

-Jake

I don't use Linux, but I had that problem with the OS X version. Data/config.txt does hold the current settings, not the default ones. Modifying that file solved the issue. It's strange that this shouldn't work in the Linux version.

You should check out your user directory in /home since that is where user-specific configuration files go to. They are usually hidden, you can view hidden files with

Code: Select all

ls -a
on a console. Hidden files have a dot (.) as the first character of their filename.

Once you've found the correct config.txt, just delete it - Lugaru writes a new one with default settings for you the next time you fire it up.
