Manually changing settings (or a safemode)

weezl

<div class="IPBDescription">locked out of the game with smaller screen</div>So i usually have the TV (1920x1080) as computer monitor, but for now i had to change to my regular monitor (1600x1200).
Since the width setting of the game doesn't fit anymore, it begins loading 1-2 secs then shuts down.

So in what file and format are the settings stored? So i can manually go and change them, if this is possible...

(and why is it so hard for ALL games to just snap to desktop res if they don't fit?)

%appdata%\Natural Selection 2\options.xml

weezl

it worked, thx!

for me it was "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2\"
but writing just "%appdata%\Natural Selection 2\" also seems to work

Because you are exited about system variables, here is a bunch more for folders:

ALLUSERSPROFILE
COMMONPROGRAMFILES
HOMEDRIVE
HOMEPATH
LOCALAPPDATA
PROGRAMFILES
TMP
TEMP
WINDIR
