Multiplayer Resolution?

[Ronnies07]

In  multiplayer games my resolution is automatically reverted to 640x480, is their any way to set it to something higher?

I've never had that issue.  Does it do it if you host a multi game with no joiners?

Before going into multi, quickly launch an instant action game.  Once in the instant action game, change your resolution.  Once the change takes effect, exit instant then go to multi.

I haven't had to do the above in a long time, but I had to follow the above steps in the past.

What causes this?

I have a hunch that it's BZII's wacky configuration settings.

Used to BZII could never remember how many sound channels I had open or, in a few cases, my key config.

Since BZII's shell is 640 x 480, it probably defaults to that because it doesn't remember your resolution.

The problem is, the options are all selected, but do nothing. I end up with 640x480, all settings minimum and a 3d cockpit.

when u change it in game, does it physically change, and just doesnt save it the next time you start up game, or does it just not change at all?

Not sure if i'm right, but, are you on an admin account? restricted account on vista? anything that could restrict write to the battlezone folder?

I had that same problem a few months ago that you have Ronnie, but I was using XP.  I think I wound up reinstalling.
