Screen Resolution Changes via File Editing and Inability to Play Online...

[porkface]

I recently requested a new monitor to be delivered, and it arrived, and it's wide screen, and surprisingly compatible with many games...

However, after finding that Killing Floor didn't support a native screen resolution of 1600 x 900, i delved into the system folder of the game, and proceeded to edit the screen resolutions via the Config file (C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\killingfloor\System\...)...

The Following alterations were made under the "[WinDrv.WindowsClient]" Section...

MenuViewportX=1600
MenuViewportY=900

WindowedViewportX=1600
WindowedViewportY=900

and..

FullscreenViewportX=1600
FullscreenViewportY=900

It seemed to function well, until i tried to play online...

The game seems to not be willing to load past the pre-loading loading screen, IE (connecting, press f10 to cancel...) screen...

Upon then loading a solo game to see if it would load, i noticed the all of the energies invested sitting at a computer, leveling perks seem to have disappeared, as far as the game is concerned, erasing a lvl 6 commando perk, among others...

I am also unable to view the "Profile and Achievements" menu when it is clicked...

Anyone care to potentially offer assistance?
Assistance potentially appreciated ...
potentially...

Have a good one ...

Also of note, if i open a solo game, and go to select a perk, the perk screen doesn't seem to manifest...

Also of note, (again), i altered Unreal Tournament 2004's Config file(s), and am able to play online, etc...

Try changing the menu viewport back to 640x480. You only need to change fullscreen rez, alternatively in the consloe with setres 1600x900. The menu scales according to the container (fullscreen/windowed).

there are some files and settings that I believe if altered will prevent you from using your perks or going online

Hey zYnthetic ...
I did so via the Config file, though it didn't seem to alleviate the issue ...
I appreciate the assistance, nonetheless, however ...

I've altered the menu resolution, and tried moving the config file, (that a new one might be created), neither of these seem to help ...
I appreciate the assistance, nonetheless, however ...

Hooray! Alright, uninstalled through steam, and downloaded again, and the game is quite functional...

also, " setres 1600x900", "worked like a charm", and can play online...

Thank you for the assistance guys ...
