HOI_settings don't work

[unmerged(22942)]

Hi

I don't know what's wrong. I can't execute the HOI_settings file. I have tried with every version of HOI, but it still doesn't work. I would like to change my screen resolution to a higher value, but that's only possible in settings. I'm able to play the game, so everything else works perfect.

Is there some other way to change the screen resolution?

Or even better... a solution to my problem????

I hope someone can help me...

Couple of things to try.
Set your color depth to 16BIT.
Make sure you have your font size set to normal.

My font size is normal and I tried to change my color quality to 16 bit, but it still doesn't work. I just get the message, that HOI_settings aren't responding.

The good thing is that I'm getting got at sending error messages to microsoft.

Any other suggestions?

Okay if you want to manually edit the config file open it in notepad. (Settings.cfg in the main HOI folder)

Make a back up of the file first, incase something goes wrong.

It will look something like this:

1
1
0
"SCREEN_SIZE_X 800"
"SCREEN_SIZE_Y 600"
"MUSIC_ON"
"europa.valkyrienet.com"

You can then change the screen size to what you want, for example 1024x768 would be:

1
1
0
"SCREEN_SIZE_X 1024"
"SCREEN_SIZE_Y 768"
"MUSIC_ON"
"europa.valkyrienet.com"

Thanx, that was just what I needed... Now it works perfect.

Great!

The first number in the settings.cfg file seems to correspond to the screen res (0=800x600, 1=1024x768, 2=1280x1024) when set by hoi_settings. (The second number is music: 0=on, 1=off). I don't remember whether HoI actually uses the number or the text to do the setting; probably the number.

Since it works for him, obviously it does.
But thanks for the info.
