Set -res in cmdline_fso.cfg #123
Conversation
This worksaround recently reported issues with users being unable to write to the Windows registry, even when running as an administrator. Setting -res should be foolproof, although it leaves other settings out like audio.

Hmm... maybe this is better fixed by solving #113? |
|
Yeah #113 would help but the recent issue of not being able to set the screen resolution was because of a bug in wxLanucher 0.10.0 where we were writing to the incorrect key. This was fixed in 0.10.1. This patch does not address the other, less obvious, settings that are stored in the registry like joystick selection, which as far as I know is not something that can be set on the command line. See https://github.com/scp-fs2open/wxLauncher/wiki/FS2-Open-Launcher-Communication for more seeing that only the registry configures. To be fair, some of which are not that important. |

More annoying is that once we move to a configuration file on all platforms, this would just be yet more commandline clutter that should be removed. |

yeah - given that the original issue seems like it should have been resolved with an upgrade to 0.10.1 I'm going to close this one. |

Also, this could be considered a massive hack, and it's my first time digging into wxlauncher. Please let me know if there's a better way...
