Horrible tech problems

#1 Post by Veggita2099 » Sat Dec 14, 2002 9:58 pm

Seems like this game runs worse on my PC then KQ2 did. After enjoying KQ2 quite a bit I thought I would give this game another go. I installed the game and the music pack and started it up. In the 320 resolution the screen is mis aligned and it cuts off about 1 inch of the left and 1 inch of the top. In 640 mode it does the same, and in 960 it works fine but is in slow motion. <br><br>The game is pretty much unplayable for me like this. I am guessing AGI studios is not compatible with Windows XP, much like everything else it seems. Anybody know of any fix for this? <p></p><i></i>

I believe that's just a case of your monitor not being configured right for those resolutions. I think there should be some buttons on the monitor itself to re-align it. <p></p><i></i>

If I do that won't it screw it up when I do everything else? I don't want to be changeing my monitor every time I play the game and everytime I am done? Id did this on KQ2 but I selected that option for some other mode and it fixed it up. <p></p><i></i>

Yeah, KQ2 was made with a more recent version of AGS. KQ1VGA version 3.0 will very likely have the same option as the one in KQ2's setup.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashs ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

No actual date. We're gonna start working on it after all serious issues in KQ2 have been ironed out.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashs ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

Monitor alignment settings are dependent on resolution, usually. I shrank my monitor to the smallest screen area as possible to help the pixelisation, and it doesn't affect my working resolution of 1280x1024. <p></p><i></i>
