Hardware failures because of resolution

[NielsjeNL]

Hey mates,

So I decided to play some KF since it was a long time ago. Now, the game boots perfectly fine and works well. But then I try to change my resolution, and my mouse stops working for a sec, turns off, turns on etc. This kinda happens to my G13 too, the screen stays on but the backlight switches off and on.

I was too lazy to try other resolutions, but 1920x1080 and 1680x1020 (or something like that) make it happen. Although lower resolutions make the failures less frequent, and on 800x600 I don't have any problems at all.


It's not my power supply, since all games work perfectly fine except KF.

I hope you guys can help me out with this one.

Greetings,

Nielsje

Have you tried running KF, after editing the KillingFloor.ini to set it at the res. you want?

[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
WindowedViewportX=1440
WindowedViewportY=900
FullscreenViewportX=1920
FullscreenViewportY=1080

Change said setting and boot KF, see if it turns it off then.

I must say, that is the oddest hardware effect I have ever seen an application have.

Yeah, I'm gonna try now.

Yeah, I'm gonna try now.

LOL!

My RAM was the problem.

Never expected that

Maybe the RAM was causing some sort of issue with the connectivity to the mouse and G13? (possible driver?) Not a clue.

Though it would be a little deeper than that. Still dumbfounded at that though.

after the last kf update i have the same problem. every resolutions highter than 800x600 kills my mouse g5 and keyboard g15 (logitech)

i checked my hardware and all other games work fine

win 7 64bit
4ram
geforce gtx 460

Tried deleting KillingFloor.ini in your Killing Floor/System directory?

I can't see the logic of that one

already tried it

Well an inconsistency/problem with the RAM can cause nearly any problem, so I wouldn't be surprised; seems logical since drivers will be loaded into the memory, basic logic here.

If more than one person is suffering this, it sounds like its in the patch and not local to NielsjeNL's memory issues.

looks like i found the problem. the ram has something to do with this
i had to edit the CacheSizeMegs=from 32 to 128 and now it works
