v.3120 py 2.4 and 2.6 display recognition

Postby Masi_K » Mon Aug 30, 2010 1:40 pm

Just recently found out that system with no display connected to dvi or rgb ports can not not run the game. I have nvidia 7900gtx and crt telly wich are connected via s-video. Firstly it wouldnt start at all, because I didn't had visualbasic runtimes installed. After installing them, fofix started to complain from the same issue as many other player have. No display.

What to do ?

Asus 7900gtx 512mb
WinXp
Intel pentium 5200

ps: I'm about to buy new tv soon :cool:

Yes it did run when I had monitor connected. But not with only television connected.

Im curious, what type of TV do you have?

Also, try deleting your fofix.ini

Located, C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\fofix

Wait you are on XP, i really dont remember the last time i played fofix on XP. Just do a search for fofix.ini

Normal tv (not lcd etc) it is connected through Tv-Out, so Tv is only screen what that half HTPC has. I don't think deleting .ini solves anything, cos game has not been started at all. I was misleading you by saying that I had monitor connected. I had that graphics card in my desctop pc and when I got better iron to it, it was time to put successor to htpc.

What!!?

Did you fix your problem, or didnt you?

If you didnt deleting the fofix.ini acts as a reset of sorts. deleteing it brings FoFix back to default.

As for FoFiX not displaying, it is becuase the resolution is set too high in game. The maximum resolution of all CRT TVs are 640x480. So, option 2 is to manually edit the INI file.

where it says " resolution =" delete the value that is there and type in "640x480" exactly how i typed it

here's a guess as i've had similar issues with duel displays

in windows, look in your display settings (where you set your screen resolution)
there should be an option to switch the active/primary display :)

you may currently have it set to 'mirror' or something

hope it works ;)

I did not fix it. I just tried to tell some background info. :glare: Nvidia controlpanel tells me that I have only one display device and it is a crt telly. I can't even select different screens either nvidia or windows panels. Wich makes sense.. This television accepts 640x480 to 1024x768 resolution. It is tested many times. I think because game has not started at all, there is no files at documents and settings etc location. Just a folder.

PS. 720x576 is optimal resolution for a 16:9 crt.
