Some questions about Evochron's support.

[Phobosares]

Hello, I recently bought Evochron Mercenary on Steam today and love the somewhat complex gameplay it offers. However, for me it is unplayable at the moment because of the resolution issues I have with it.

I am a triplehead gamer, using 3 monitors with NVidia Surround and for some strange reason I can't set the resolution to 4484x900. That resolution is bezel adjusted, and the aspect ratio is also messed up. The circles I see are oval, and the field of view looks sort of unnatural to the eye.

I was wondering if there is some sort of INI file that can be edited somewhere on the hard drive to bypass these issues, or perhaps the developers are working on a fix for the issue?

I really want to get deep into Evochron Mercenary, but can't do so with such disorienting stretching from unsupported res.

Thanks!

Sincerely - Phobosares

Indeed there are options. First, if you can't enable that resolution, open the sw.cfg file located in the default save data folder of c:\\sw3dg\\EvochronMercenary in notepad or another text editor. Change the first line to read 4484X900 (include the capital X), then launch and test the game. If DirectX reports to the game that the resolution is available via the display driver, then it should activate.

Then for aspect ratio/field of view, open the sw.cfg file again in notepad/text editor, edit line 17 (sixth from the bottom) to a value between 0.1 and 5.0. Restart the game to test the change. For a resolution that wide, you might want to start in the 4.0-5.0 range.

Thanks for the response! I am going to try. I will let you know how it ends up.

Update: Excellent, now it fits perfectly with my setup. I found at setting that second thing to 4.4 to be perfect circular objects, not oval.

Thanks a bunch! This looks like a lot of fun!
