I can't change the settings

[Sonnington]

I was messing around with the video settings and now I can't change them back because the accept button is outside of the screen. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the settings stay the same.

[Incriptus]

From the documentation

--reset-video
resets Exult's video settings to the default values. Very helpful when Exult isn't playable anymore because of wrong settings.

I used that command line option when I had that problem

[Sonnington]

Oh I found a reset video option in the start menu folder. I'm an idiot.

[Mark Piper]

I cant even get to the options menu. or start menu.
I made the mistake of changing the screen size as you did, now I cant see any options.
just the start anke before it bombs out 5 secs later.
re-installed it about 5 times, to no avail.
Help!

[Mark Piper]

the annoying thing is it was working fine when I installed it in the beginning.
now I cant even run the games without exult.
they just all bomb out.
I guess there is some settings file created by windows somewhere, that's not deleted when I uninstall the lot.
so next time I install it, the messed up settings still apply.

So run the reset video shortcut...

[Mark Piper]

where?
I get the intro screen up for 5 secs and then it bombs out.
(I can only see the corner of the intro due to incorrect settings)

Start menu or if you are running a Windows without a start menu where ever that is saved to...
Or you delete the exult.cfg, the documentation tells you where it is found.

[Mark Piper]

there is no exult cfg to delete. just a exult cfg example.
I cant access any start menus. its sure not saved in the exult directory.
if windows 8.1 has saved it some profile I have no idea where to look.

[Dominus]

In the documentation you can read about where exult.cfg is saved to. Please read it. I'm mobile atm so look it up yourself.
It's NOT where exult was installed to.

[Dominus]

In the docs, location of exult.cfg in Windows 7 should be the same as in Widows 8.x

[Mark Piper]

"C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Exult"

found and deleted everything there.
then re-installed.
and its fired up!

many thanks for your help guys.
