Painkiller: Detailed Report

Post by Resistance156 »

1920x1080

When I originally copied the game over, the native res on the current computer was 1440x900 (laptop), but I never ran the game before using the HDMI output to my 1920x1080 screen, so I don't know why that would even make a difference...

And by "copy" I mean I copied the original folders over from another computer rather than re-installing it fresh, patching it, and moving the save games over. The computer it was copied from used a CRT monitor, so native res wasn't an issue, it went up to 1600x1200.

That's generally worked fine for all other games, but maybe this requires a fresh install?


Uh yeah, that is not a great habit to have. Many games use the registry to store settings and data. And some store files outside of the game directory. None of which would be copied over.


Yeah, I know but it's just generally more convenient when transferring data to get everything on the new computer as quickly as possible. Most of the time it works fine. I'll try a fresh install and see if that works.

In the past the only problems I've really run into are CD-keys in the registry, but you can change that yourself, and besides that save games are sometimes stored in my documents or something.

I wouldn't think something like that would effect the resolution options you have though, weird .

Well, I re-installed Painkiller, BoH and patched up to 1.64 and the highest resolution options available in the menu for selection are 1400x1050, and 1440x900... No 1920x1080.
