Anyone know a work around for game resolution bug.

There is a known bug for not being able fully scroll through resolutions choices.
This morning I was playing at 2560x 1440 at 144hz. Then I foolishly tried to take it off full screen, and when the screen flashed back I was at 1280 x 768. Now because of the bug I cant scroll down to my native resolution choice.
Its hard for me to believe that there is no setting or ini file I can change outside of the game or some type of workaround , to get back to my native resolution? Is that data saved client side or server side? Even if I uninstall and reinstall, I have a feeling it will just give me the same issue.
There are already a few posts about this in bug thread, they say its a known issue. I came to General Discussion to see if anyone had a workaround. This bug leaves such a bad taste in my mouth, I dont even know if Ill continue to play SotA after they fix it, and I certainly wont if they don't fix it on the next Release.

 

i poked around some more and found a file:

~/.config/unity3d/Portalarium/Shroud of the Avatar/prefs

that has variables:

<pref name="Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode" type="int">
<pref name="Screenmanager Resolution Height" type="int">
<pref name="Screenmanager Resolution Width" type="int">
...
<pref name="Video_Height" type="int">
<pref name="Video_Width" type="int">


but this is a linux machine. the file will be somewhere else on windows if those prefs are even in a file rather than the registry.

 

Greetings @Apostle. If you open the Launcher and click play until you get to the screen that allows you to click on options. You can change the res in there which should set it for future launches. Not sure if that helps with what you are looking for.

 

If you want to edit the registry, there is the option in there. When you edit the lines you want to select decimal instead of hex (unless you know hex) then enter the numbers. You would set your height to 1440 and the width to 2560.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Portalarium\Shroud of the Avatar
Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode_h3981298716 (Mine is set to 1)
Screenmanager Resolution Height_h2627697771 (Mine is set to 438 (1080))
Screenmanager Resolution Width_h182942802 (Mine is set to 780 (1920))

There is also...
Video_Height_h2428946100 (Mine is same as above)
Video_RefreshRate_h1919646964 (Mine is set to 59, yours should be 144)
Video_Width_h490890925 (Mine is same as above)

AND OF COURSE I HAVE TO ENTER...
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Modify the registry at your own risk.

 

I just want to thank Alley Oop and chrisjwhite!
This information was a perfect help and I was able to fix my problem. I only had to change 5 lines.

My native resolution is 2560 x 1440 at 144hz. So I changed the numbers per line as necessary. Leaving fullscreen at 1. I assume 1 is for fullscreen and 0 is windowed, but im not sure)
Each line asks if you want to edit the base number in hexadecimal or decimal. Be sure to put in numbers/letters according to the base you use.

I used regedit to enter the registry editor and went to the directory:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Portalarium\Shroud of the Avatar

Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode_h3981298716 (1)
Screenmanager Resolution Height_h2627697771 ((1440))
Screenmanager Resolution Width_h182942802 ((2560))

Video_Height_h2428946100 (1440)
Video_RefreshRate_h1919646964 ( 144)
Video_Width_h490890925 (2560)

Like chrisjwhite said : DO NOT MESS WITH THE REGISTRY UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ITS WORKINGS. This can lead to major problems if you mess around with the wrong thing.

Thanks again for your help guys! Now I dont have to waste my seven day obsidian potions that I just used a day ago

 

I just tab out and back in and it readjusts on mine...

I've been trying to get the screen resolution problems fixed for a very long time...

If they'd just fix it so it would save settings and persist them across logins...

 

You should always "backup" the registry before you edit it, just to be safe...
