Summary	0001097: Select Resolution - would be good if it worked again without restarting the application

Revision	2013-05-29 08:49 by Zamolxis
Description	I think it's great the resolution setting could be integrated in System Options. However I do miss the possibility to change resolutions without restarting. I understand it's not a priority, but if it can be done at some point in the future it would be great. Any other PC game (that I know) allows the change of resolution without restart, so it would look & feel better if we bring back the functionality. Not only for the players of the final product later on, but also for testers now. It was way easier to change resolutions in the past, by typing it in Console at any time (regardless of where the client was). Now it's quite some clicks away, plus we have to be on Adventure Map to open System Options, plus we have to exit & restart after that. Ideally would be that it takes effect as soon as we exit system options. But if that's difficult with the current architecture, then would be nice if at least going through the menu (Load, etc) would be enough for new setting to take effect. Perhaps a message saying "Reload necessary for setting to take effect" would also be good.

Description	UPDATE: Now, in 0.92c, selecting resolution then trying to reload map crashes the application. I forced a crash after the Runtime Library error came up, and attached below screenshot & archive with save & crashdump. Changing the resolution then loading should: - either (ideally) work as per original request - or at least return a message to the user saying "Changes will not take effect until the application is restarted" * * * * * * * ORIGINAL FEATURE REQUEST: Select Resolution - would be good if it worked again without restarting the application I think it's great the resolution setting could be integrated in System Options.
