Topic: hey!

hi guys,

i have just downloaded FS mod, not many servers, i can only find one!

I dont know if i have the wrong buttons ticked on the server filter?

Anyway, is there anyway i can run FS in my native resolution 1680 x 1050

I couldnt get 2142 to run in that res but id be real happy if you could help me get it working in fs.

thankyou!

Re: hey!

use only those filters:
Same Mod
Same Version

For the Resolution you maybe need the +widescreen argument in the FS Launcher.

CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic’s eyes to improve his vision

Re: hey!

Thanks, i am on windows 7 64 bit, when i right click on the "launch first strike" icon i select properties and in the "target" field i have added the widescreen thing, but still no luck...

i can still only see one server and its empty... is there just not a lot of people playing?

Re: hey!

File, preferences (in launcher window) and in the arguments field type:
+szx 1680 +szy 1050

There aren't a lot of people playing, but that server (Rebel Defiance) is hosting co-op maps, so feel free to jump on to try it out, some may even see you and join in. Although it is the same as the SP maps, the server has been customised to run a greater number of bots.

Sunday nights are the customary night for FS gaming, some players will be on the server from about 8pm uk time.
