GC2: Dark Avatar won't start

Resolution Issue?

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hello,

 

I had accidentally set the resolution for Dark Avatar at 5120x3200, and quit the game. Every time I try to start the game, there is just a black screen, and no cursor visible (perhaps everything is just too small). When I switch the chapter to the regular GC2, it starts just fine. I tried digging through all the hard files to see if I could alter the option without starting the game, but couldn't find anything. After perpetual frustration I tried to uninstall and reinstall the whole game. This failed. I still can't restart GC2 (perhaps the options were somehow saved). What do I do?!?

 

Thanks,

Marcos T.

My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar\prefs.ini is the file you're looking for. Nuke it to reset settings, or open it in notepad and edit them back to something reasonable.

It worked perfectly after I nuked the files. Thank You very much Kryo! I am looking forward to playing the game again.
