1920 x 1080 Resolution always resetting

from Elemental Forums

Every time I start Fallen Enchantress, I need to go to the prefs file and manually set the game to 1920 x 1080.  Whether I crash or log out normally, it always resets to 1024 x 768.  I have yet to actually get the option to do ANYTHING if I try to adjust it from in-game.  When I do that, the game tells me I need to restart for the setting to take effect, but it never actually does take effect.

 

Does this ring any bells as to what is going on with anyone?

It should default to your main monitor's desktop size and stick with whatever you choose thereafter. Do you use (or have you) multiple monitors, one of which is 1024x768?

I have the same problem.  I use a single 46" monitor set to 1920 x 1080 resolution.  The game does not recognize my resolution when I tell it to use my desktop resolution, nor will it stay set to 1920 x 1080 if I configure it manually.  I end up with the game visually using the upper left corner of my screen, but the mouse responds as if it knows that I have a 1920 x 1080 resolution.  (Completely unplayable since you have to click where you think things are instead of where you see them.)

 

My current solution is to go make the manual resolution change to the prefs.ini file, then set that file to read only.  It means I can't make any other configuration changes from inside the game and have them stick, but at least I don't have to fix it every single time.

 

I would love to see this problem solved so I could avoid having to manually tweak prefs.ini.
