Help: Force window mode resolution?

[ChairmanEdgewise]

Hi guys


I was wondering is there in any way possible to force cry engine to a specific windowed mode resolution?


At this moment the minimum resolution is 1024x752 pixels...

Is it possible to force it down to below 800x600?


I would really enjoy if it could be a extremely small window mode...

The minimum resolution to play entropia universe is 1024x768. If you get it lower somehow, you will have issues with playing and interacting with the game, which is why they disabled that ingame. And since the only way to change configuration is ingame, no, there is no such way.
If there is such a way, it would mean altering the EU files, or interacting in a non-standard way, both are not allowed and can get you banned.

Thanks for the reply =)

I know I should not be changing the files... CryEngine however if I remember it correctly does have some config files that allows a more advanced graphic options mode if you open it.... was wondering if there is a file like that for resolution as well but I guess not

There are some settings in the files in the 'shared documents' folder, under Entropia Universe, but even though they are documents, they are still part of EU so altering those isn't allowed.

Is it not allowed to change in settings-ce.cfg? Those options in that file is made for chaning using cry engine as far as I know...

Its not allowwed to change the values in the config files even though it was and is done alot. Its a risk u are taking though.

You can alter the window size no matter what the resolution is. Problem is that the image is scaled to the new size, so it may look a bit weird (stretched and smudged).

I see, I also found out thanks to Skuggan that you can edit this in the graphics config file (just a more advanced mode than in game grahpic options)

I do not understand why changing resolution from a file which is allowed and made for changing should result in a ban.... Suppose I have to ask MA about this..

Excuse me, not allowed:

and almost nobody cares, when it comes to the cvar file that is.

I've edited my settings-ce.cfg many times; why don't you go write MA a letter and report me and everybody else who've edited it since it's "not allowed" even though the file is left intentionally unencrypted in the public folder for the player to edit.

And since the only way to change configuration is ingame, no, there is no such way.
If there is such a way, it would mean altering the EU files, or interacting in a non-standard way, both are not allowed and can get you banned.

Find your settings-ce.cfg file and edit these lines to look like this:

r_HeightWin = 600
r_WidthWin = 800

The settings-ce.cfg file is located in one of the directories below (depending on your OS) and can be easily opened with Windows Notepad:

Vista & Windows 7:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Entropia Universe


Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Entropia Universe

There is a way. Did you know the earth is flat?

Thanks man, this is exactly how I did it as well.


The W and H seems to have some sort of limit though, but it surely could make it much smaller.


As you say, why wouldn't it be allowed if it is left in a file that says "Do not edit this unless you know what you are doing!" ?

technicaly he is right, but also wrong. he is right that were not allowed to change it according to the eula (but who cares?) he's wrong about that it has to be possible to edit for the client to edit though. It could just as well been encrypted or in some other format etc etc.
