Reanimator Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 My pc sometimes does some strange things. After playing half-life for about an hour I tried to get in some CM. Instead of the game loading normaly, as it has done for months, I get a black screan with a box that says something like "3dx Error" and had two options, one for 640 x 480 and the other to skip. I skipped, and the game crashed, i tried again (without rebooting my pc, a mistake!) and it gave me the same menu and I chose 640 x 480. This mode runs very slow and looks awful. I then reinstalled my game, yet it remains in 640 x 480. Please tell me how to get my good resolution back! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 Try this - 1. Find the file - "Combat Mission Bynd Ovr Prefs" in the root directory where you installed CMBO. 2. DELETE this file! 3. Start CM - it should ask you want screen resolution you want to use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroy Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 Go to your CM folder, something like C:\Program Files\CMBO and find the Prefs file. Delete that and when you start CM you'll be asked to choose your screen resolution again. Manx is obviously a quicker typer than me [ 05-20-2001: Message edited by: Viceroy ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ckoharik Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 This doesn't sound like a normal resolution issue that can be dealt with by deleting the prefs file. Does this only happen after playing Half-Life for a period of time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reanimator Posted May 21, 2001 Author Share Posted May 21, 2001 Yes! This fixed it, thank you! Now all I have to do is reinstall all the skins for the units AND terrain.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
