Drifter Man Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I installed Red Thunder - first time install on this computer - straight from the Fire & Rubble preorder link, v2.10, and activated all content (base game 3.0, upgrade to 4.0, and F&R). I carefully transferred my NVidia control panel settings from CMBN to CMRT and copied the "display size.txt" file from CMBN to CMRT: Battlefront/Combat Mission Red Thunder/display size.txt Inside, the file says: 2560 1440 60 which works well for me in CMBN. However, CMRT ignores this file. It defaults to desktop resolution, which is 3840x2160. Changing the resolution in the file does not change the resolution in game. On the other hand, when I change my desktop resolution, CMRT will start up in that resolution. Unlike CMBN, CMRT does not offer me the new 2560x1440 resolution in Options. So, CMRT is sticking to my desktop resolution no matter what the "display size.txt" file says, or whether the file is there at all. Does the file have a different name or location in CMRT than in CMBN? Is it supposed to work at all or is there some other way in CMRT to control screen resolution? i5-9400F 2.90Ghz, 16GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1660, Win 10 64bit Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drifter Man Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 I have added CMRT in the NVidia control panel - no problems there. With my settings from CMBN, the game works fine once I trick it into launching in the correct resolution. It is just the "display size.txt" that is not working as expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdyke Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 A screenshot would be appreciated if you have time. No rush. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Man Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Easy. If you mean screenshot of the NVidia settings, here it is. They are well tested in CMBN on the same computer and have nothing to do with resolution AFAIK. If you mean an in-game screenshot, well... it will just show the game running in the 3840x2160 resolution I don't want (poor performance) and that I am unable to change other than by changing my Windows desktop resolution: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 As another test, put different values into the file, such as 1920 1080 30. You want to determine whether the file is in fact ignored or whether the problem is that it doesn't like the contents it finds. First thing to try is 30 Hz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - yep I tried that - with different resolutions and refresh rates and now with the ones you suggested - no change. I also tried moving the file to different folders, running the game as administrator, renaming the file ("displaysize.txt", "displaysize", "display size") - I'm out of ideas Note - the first thing was that I simply copied the file from CMBN, where it works just fine... not sure why just CMRT is acting up on me like this...

Bulletpoint Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 CMBN has a different folder structure than CMRT. I believe the displaysize.txt goes in a folder under your user directory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Try looking in c:\users\YOURNAME\documents\battlefront\combat mission\Red Thunder 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both CM games installed in Program Files. CMBN keeps these files right there in the game folder, while CMRT covertly created a folder for this stuff in Documents. Thanks everyone! Problem solved. Edited April 27, 2021 by Drifter Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
