Game Resolution

PurSpyk!! · 08-10-2007, 02:38 PM

Hi,

Why is 1152x864 not listed in the screen size options, all other games i.e. Doom 3, Quake 4 have this listed but not Prey?

PurSpyk!! · 09-21-2007, 11:51 AM

Why is the support for the game so poor. The forums anre dead, multiplayer is usless. I have tried to email various parties to get support no emails ever get responded to. Whi actually supports this game?

Game was purchased through Steam.

Poor very poor!!!!!!!!

The Company IP you have tried to reach has been changed...
To a non-published IP

Hi, does not help me. Who supports this game?

ZaphodB · 09-27-2007, 02:04 PM

You know I may be wrong, but just offhand I'd say Humanhead does.

http://www.humanhead.com/

Seeing that they are the ppl who made the game.

Hi,

Thanks, but they only developed the game, and Prey is not even listed under Support on their web site. The prey.com site is also totally useless.

Once again a case of developers taking your money and users are stuck with shitty or no support.

Instead of cursing and blaming everyone else & the people who made the game, if you had instead taken 5 minutes time to READ THE PREY TECH HELP FAQ Sticky http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/announcement.php?f=42&a=4 it would have referred you to this thread "Can't find correct widescreen resolution" http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showthread.php?t=18627 and you would have seen (if you read the thread) that :

I got it to work by editing preyconfig, but what's the point of having adjustable resolutions and a widescreen option in the menu, if it doesn't do anything?

All that needs to be changed is:

seta r_customHeight "xxx"
seta r_customWidth "xxxx"
seta r_mode "x"
seta r_aspectRatio "x"

I'm running 1680 x 1050 for reference, which is a pretty common widescreen resolution.

Hopefully you guys can get this fixed either before it hits retail, or in the first patch.

Sorry if I "ruffeled your feathers" in this reply, but maybe you should check into things more before you start to "troll".

Simple answer. Look in your game manual.

3DRealms created the IP/concept of the game and produced the PREY we have now.

Human Head Studios developed PREy for PC and Venom for 360

2K was the publisher and as such, they handle all tech support for the game. Check 2k's site.

PurSpyk!! · 10-11-2007, 12:52 PM

I tried this, using the correct values for the resolution I require

seta r_customHeight "xxx"
seta r_customWidth "xxxx"
seta r_mode "x"
seta r_aspectRatio "x"

Game always resets the resolution back to 640x480

The Steam version of the game did not come with a manual.

I have contcted 2K, 2 months ago, and my email was never replied to.

So support for the game is poor!

Damien_Azreal · 10-12-2007, 06:32 PM

Never said support for the game was great... just said 2K handled it.

seta r_mode "x"

Change it to:

seta r_mode "-1"

Have you tried this already?

Um, the settings SAY it's 640x480, but the resolution when you play the game is at WHATEVER you have it set to. Doom3 does this also when you set it to widescreen and a high resolution. If you go to the settings after setting the resolution in the .ini file, it will set it to 640x480. Both games do this because of the Doom 3 engine used (quake4 uses Doom 3 engine too, but it is modified differently).

So maybe you should set your .ini settings, then go into the game and play instead of mucking about in the "system settings" tab in the game and quit resetting your res to 640x480.

I'm done with this thread.
