Aspect Ratio Reset

[Bennyboy87]

Somehow I managed to have my window in 320x200 but my resolution in 640x480 I uninstalled Exult and deleted the files in regedit however when I reinstall the settings remain the same. Am I 100% pooched on this PC from ever using Exult or is there some way I can reset my Video settings?

So you ignored the warning?
We don't store settings in the registry but in a config file. Either you edit this or you delete it and reinstall again... Either way, details in the documentation!

Well I didn't think I would have this problem with it, thats why I hit "Yes keep these settings" It wasn't until after I hit it that I realized I'm missing 90% of my screen. I totally uninstalled all of Exult and reinstalled and the setting stayed the same. I can try editing the config file but wouldnt uninstalling and reinstalling have fixed that?

PS. I probably shouldnt have tried this after a 12 hr shift. I blame fatigue for my poor judgement

Uninstalling doesn't delete the configuration file. Edit it or delete it.

I made the same mistake in the past, the config file persists regardless of what you do with Exult. RTFM , and manually change it.

i'll make a note to clarify uninstalling and resetting next time I'll update the documentation.

I am new to Exult. It is incredibly stupid that this is even possible. This is not the way a polished product behaves.

If your introduction to Exult is calling it stupid you should really learn how to make good impressions.
There is a warning, then after confirming that exult will change the resolution but will still ask you whether you want to keep this setting. If you hit escape or do nothing exult will switch back to the resolution before. If you still think that's stupid, please send us a patch on how to make it better. Thank you.
