SwSRO resolution problem

06/30/2009 21:25 Jaapii#1
Everytime I start up the game, all my settings are gone
and my resolution is way too small again.
So someone know how to solve and/or patch this?
I just want it to be 1280x1024 everytime I log on.
THANKS in advance

There are usually two reasons for messed up settings.

First - you have no configuration files for Silkroad to modify and as a result the changes you make are lost. You should have a Setting folder in Silkroad and 3 files or so in there. You need those files for Silkroad to modify.

Second - are you on Windows Vista or Windows 7?

If so, regular Silkroad has this there due to how the OS protects the Program Files directory.

Change Silkroad.exe and sro_client.exe to always being ran with Administrator. Next, change compatibility to Windows XP SP3 or SP2 if you are on Vista.

You should be able to change setting and have them keep now. Also note sometimes the launcher won't display the news but still shows the Start button if you take those steps. That's because of the internet explorer control that the Launcher uses and compatibility problems. It's not a real bad issue.

Between those, you should be able to get it to save your settings!

Sun Sro uses their own encryption on everything in the folder
When you change the resolution or settings etc, it doesn't save the config in the encrypted format, so it automatically starts up with the basic config each time.

no there most likely isnt unless someone can break the encryption which most wont waste their time for something so trivial so you just gotta set em each time you run the client unfortunately.
