Video Display Offset

Display is offset making game unplayable

March 8, 2006 12:47:55 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Hello,

I pre-ordered and was successfully able to play up to Beta 4. Therefore, the game has historically worked fine on the machine I currently use. I then had to take a break, darn university, until Retail

Installing the retail game, after uninstalling the beta, I find that the intro video and the main menus everything is offset vertically. I.e. the 'top' of the intro video is 7/10 of the way up my screen, so to speak. There is a pixel offset of some sort in effect. I can't find any way to reset the graphics settings. The offset applies to the mouse as well so I end up only being able to click on things 4 or 5 lines below where my mouse cursor is. Its... very wierd. Any thoughts or insight would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

OK, I have found a solution ... at least for my system

i changed the colordepth value in the prefs.ini (personal folder\my games\galciv2) to 24. Everything was fine after that.

I have a solution as well.

Start-Control Panel-Display (Or right click on your desktop and choose properties)
Goto the Settings tab then click advanced.
In here there should be a tab called 'Direct 3d'.

I found that i have to leave Anti-Aliasing on 'quality' and application preference - and then everything is fine.
