Title: video cfg file
Post by: bandit752 on August 23, 2006, 08:19:17 AM

Can someone tell me how to write the video cfg file?
I just purchased a nice wide screen monitor which is 1440x900 res
When I went to find the cfg file its wasnt there! I searched the folders!

Can I write it in a text doc and save it to the settings folder??

Thanks

Under your Aces High II folder is a folder named settings, look for video8.cfg in there and edit it (in a text editor, Notepad for example). There are lines for Width and Height in there, change them to 1440 (W) and 900 (H).

The video8.cfg also contains information about other graphics settings, so I wouldn't recommend replacing it with a new text document.

Thanks for the reply!
I searched the settings folder but the file isnt there.
Can I write a new one and copy it to the folder?

I dont understand why the file isnt there!
I recently purchased a new pci express vid card and loaded the lastest
ATI drivers!

Is there a sample video8.cfg file I can see?

I have searched all the folder in the HTC but no video8.cfg file!
searched the C drive also!
I must of have erased this by accident somehow!

Can I just download and re-load it?

You must have launched the game at least once for it to write a video8.cfg file.

You do not need to create or alter the video8.cfg file to set a custom screen resolution anymore.

Select the "Show All Resolutions" option and then the list of screen resolutions available will be shown in the drop down list.  The list will only contain the resolutions the video card supports.
