How do I change my graphics settings?Ghost910/16/2008 - 23:29

I'm trying out the demo and it's running at what looks like 800x600 or lower. There's no button to change graphics settings, is there a way to do this?

Edit file "config.txt" in "your install path/WorldOfGoo/properties" and change screen_width and screen_height

But be careful.... widescreen resolutions doesn't work well. At the end of the level the pull is out of screen, so you can't continue...

We are waiting for a fix.

wow so they didn't incorporate any kind of settings menu? That's kinda lame. I'd also like to be able to turn off the music so that I could listen to my own while I play or atleast be able to turn it down so I can hear other things my comp is doing.

I'd like the option. Especially a volume option. I'm often on vent when i'm playing games and there's no way to turn the game down.

I tried this and it didn't change anything. It's always been able to do full screen, but it doesn't change the resolution.

don't waste time with the resolution. won't actually help anything (it's not vector graphics or models, all sprites).

Re: How do I change my graphics settings?Ghost910/17/2008 - 23:38

is there a way to change the music volume?

Im sorry but the game looks 100 times better at a higher resolution. 1920x1200 looks a hell of alot better than 800x600. They just need to fix the problems when changing the resolution.

I'm sorry too, for those who don't understand that the game is already running at its one and only intended resolution.  I also feel sorry for those who have fixed-pixel displays without a 4:3 mode or competent scaling algorithms.

I'm sorry 2D Boy will never get my money if they don't intend to support higher resolutions.

My screen is 1680x1050 .. i run the game at 1280x720 (newest Nvidia Driver (i think), GeForce 8400M G ... Laptop), runs fine, the left
side is just a wee bit out. But it looks much nicer ! Just try until you find the right res ( or your computer explodes  ;D ).
