Hello, I am just starting with the Ryzom trial, and I cannot figure out how to set the 1280x720 resolution mode, which is what my native display resolution is. I play many other games in this resolution, but the only choices I see in the Rycom menu is 1280x768 and 1360x768.
I tried changing the resolution numbers in the client.cfg file to 1280x720 but when I played the game, it reverted to 1280x768 once I was within the game itself.
Can anyone help me with this? The 1360x768 is close, but makes the small text very hard to read on my LCD screen.
How to get 1280x720 resolution?
Re: How to get 1280x720 resolution?
Your problem may be the aspect ratio, not the screensize. You may have to manually change your settings to reflect your setup. I don't believe that is 4:3 or 16:9 and may need tweaking.

Re: How to get 1280x720 resolution?
No, 1280x720 is the standard 16:9 HDTV ratio. In fact, any game certified to run under Microsoft Vista is supposed to support this resolution. It's the standard size for many LCD HD screens and is used for native 720p HD support. The 1360x768 is also 16:9, but that is purely a computer format.
In any case, the 16:9 is set properly. As I explained, the problem is that even when I set the resolution values in the CLIENT.CFG file, I still get 1024x768 when I'm actually in the game. So, I am ALREADY setting my settings manually, but the game keeps changing it back to 1024x768 for some reason. Am I not modifying the correct file?
My monitor tells me the exact resolution being sent to it, so it's easy for me to see that it's not being set properly by the game.
So, I still need help with this. This is really a game breaker for me. I just can't play at 1360x768 with the unreadable text on my monitor. And siknce Ryzom already supports 16:9 aspect ratios, I just don't see why it won't work with 1280x720. This is really crazy.

Re: How to get 1280x720 resolution?
Your configurations not being saved are quite possibly a combination of factors. Permissions in Vista can be problematic, and there is a known issue of certain resolutions not being saved in Windowed play mode. Full support for wide screen will be implemented as patch 632/633 is re released.

Re: How to get 1280x720 resolution?
I'm actually not using Vista...was just pointing out that 1280x720 was standard on Vista. I'm using XP SP2. Also, not using windowed mode...I'm running in fullscreen. What kind of timescale are they talking for the patch? weeks? months?
Re: How to get 1280x720 resolution?
OK, not sure what the problem is. I edited the CLIENT.CFG again today and again set the resolution to 1280x720, and now it works fine.
I noticed that when I ran Ryzom today, I got a slightly different login. It displayed the latest news, and gave me a license agreement to accept/reject. It didn't do that yesterday.
So, my theory is that the 1280x720 doesn't work in the basic installation and only starts working after the patcher has downloaded all of the latest updates.
Anyway, it's working fine now, so people should know that they don't need to wait until patch 632/633...it's working just fine today (thank goodness).

Re: How to get 1280x720 resolution?
Sigh...nope, back to 1024x768 now again. It overwrote the client.cfg file again. Not sure what causes this to happen, but it sure is annoying. The game runs fine in 1280x720 if you can just get it to stop overwriting the client.cfg file. Maybe I'll try marking it as readonly to see if that helps.
