Cant open springsettings.exe

[AnImoL]

I have just installed Spring on this computer and it cant load the game. It says "Could not set video mode: No video mode large enough for 1024x768". My resolution is 1280x720, I have tried other resolution modes but there isnt 1024x768 on video properties.

When I try to open settings:
It just opens a cmd window and closes. I have tried to open it on cmd and it gives the message "Program too big to be allocated into memory"...

I use Windows XP Pro SP2. 2GHZ CPU, 2 GB RAM, and I think the video is 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 7300SE. I can play the game on other computer but this one is much faster. I have tried restarting the computer, reinstalling the game, but it just wont work.

The default resolution is 1024x768 and that is hardcoded in the source. The easy solution is to always keep a configuration file in a directory that is both readable and writable that Spring searches in. If you install somewhere other than /Program Files/ (eg: C:/spring/ ) you can places this in the spring folder itself to save yourself time. Search your computer for any "springsettings.cfg" files you may already have. It's up to you if you want to amend these or create a new one. The lines you will want to edit/add in the configuration file are:

Code: Select all

Fullscreen=1
XResolution=1280
YResolution=720
