Resoultion Change. Black Screen. Spellforce 2 Gold

[Hinker1]

Hi everyone. I recently got Spellforce 2 Gold and changed the resolution to 1600x1200 or something like that. The screen is only black when I load it now. I can hear music but see nothing. I have read a couple other forums but can not fix it. Can anyone suggest a fix? I'm sure this has to be a common problem.
I am running Windows 7 with GTX250. Thank you

Go to My documents. There will be a folder called Spellforce2. Open it. There will be a XML file called Config. Open that with a text editor like Notepad.

On the first line there will be : screenheight="1200" screenwidth="1600"

Change it to what you want. 1080p is actually supported. In game it will show as 1024x768 but it is actually 1920x1080!

Razor;

Any chance you know how to adjust FOV or extend the Zoom??

I've got it nice at 1920x1200 but am running, would like too, Eyefinity Triples.
When I set it to 5760x1200 its zoomed way in, my nose is almost on the ground.

Thanx..

Unfortunately, there is no way to change zoom in the game. It is hardcored into the game as far as I know. Sorry mate.

PS: Have you tried to change the number of zoom levels in the options?

Ya, just makes smaller steps to the zoom.

Just won't let me zoom OUT far enough. The world isn;t stretched at all, the hud is tho. Still looks decent, just unplayable that close.

Yes, I know what this thread is long forgotten, but still..

Actually, you can, there is solution on WGSF.
Copy from WGSF:
FOV Update:

Method: Config file editing to set custom resolution and console command to fix FOV.
1. Go to My Documents\SpellForce2 folder, open config.xml using any text editor, find the following strings:
Code:
screenheight="XX" screenwidth="XX"
and set them to whatever you want. For example:
Code:
screenheight="1050" screenwidth="1680"
2. Start a game, then bring the console by pressing Ctrl + ] and type(case sensitive):
UI:SetCameraFOV(0.94) for 16:10
UI:SetCameraFOV(1.027) for 16:9
This will make the game Hor+, however, the cutscenes will remain Ver-

But your interface will be terrible stretched

Not forgoten.. just listening for anything useful, some kind of tid bit.

Bingo! ....Thanx alot.

Not sure if you caught what I want to run it at, 5760x1200. Thats 3x 1920x1200 (16:10).
3 x 16:10 = 48:10, reduce it; / 2 = 24:5 ..you get the Idea? REALY wide, 6 feet even.

Thanx for the console, dunno why I could not find that and the FOV comand.
AND I am on WSGF. Nothing there when I checked.

I am just hoping the FOV will go far enough w/o breaking and the interface then might be the unusable part. <sigh>

I will post a screen shot of my best case.

Thanx again.

Any way to setup windowed mode?
Because i set up the resolution for 1920x1080, it's looking better but still "stretched".
