Reply to Resolutions(?) in Technical Sins Forums

I just picked up the game today at Target. Woot! I guess I have sort of the same problem; the only widescreen resolution that I'm presented with is 1680x1050, but the game is a bit too slow on my crummy system at that resolution. I can play much better at 1024x768, but the screen is distorted because the aspect ratio is wrong. I'd really like to be able to use a lower wide screen resolution. In addition, I can't find the settings file mentioned, the only thing in that directory is a subdirectory

Yes, no debug is written, the date on it is from the day before when the game was working. Now I just get the black screen, plus a galciv2 process at 8MB starts that I have to kill to gain control of the machine again.

DA, black screen on start after update in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Hi, I bought DA last week, and tonight updated to 068 through the stardock central app. Now when I click "play game" I immediately get a black square that does not completely cover the screen. I saw another similar post so I checked in /mydocuments/mygames/cg2darkavater/prefs.ini to make sure that the screen res is still OK and it is, here is an excerpt from that... [Video] DisplayWidth=1680 DisplayHeight=1050 ColorDepth=32 Fullscreen=1 HardwareMouseCursor=0 Mult
