Resolution Problem after minimize, maximize etc
« on: 04 May, 2016, 01:15:57 AM »
Hello guys, i have another problem with the game on steam... The video below should help explain everything.

http://www30.zippyshare.com/v/RQTwvjHt/file.html - Just click 'Download Now" and the video will start download.

Everything is fine until i minimize, maximize game, died, load game... i tryied another resolution (even window mode) this happens every time.
 
Even i can't click nowhere (these options are avaible but not in the same place they used to be) and i must quit by console.

I have this creepy resolution bug. Please, can everybody know to fix this? I Installed for example Cry 1.55 Version and this bug never happened. 1.55 ver is the most stable version i've played.

Thank you.

Does this happen with other GldSrc games like Half-Life, Afraid of Monsters, etc. It could be that your problem isn't specific to Cry of Fear.

I assume you've tried rebooting and all that copy-paste jazz. Have you also tried simply verifying cache integrity through Steam and/or reinstalling the game? Make sure you back up your saves and unlockables, of course (Found in steamapps/common/Cry of Fear/cryoffear/SAVE and steamapps/common/Cry of Fear/cryoffear/scriptsettings.dat respectively)

EDIT: Also, what resolution are you trying to use in the Launcher and do you have Windowed mode enabled?

No, this only happens in Cry Of Fear, AoM, CS, Hl doing well...i tried reinstall, reboot..., i used to 1280x720, i tryied also in Windowed Mode is the same problem at any resolutions (windowed or not).

I have noticed another problem 9i write in this post because i donąt wanna create a new thread). When i played Manhund Campaign (downloaded from this forum - Single Player Mode), and defeat sawrunner (this is where i found the note About Purnell) in mental hospital and when i comes to the door the games show this notice

ERROR: couldn't open.
Host_Error: no precache cryoffear/models/Props/Vaxter/parktrad2.mdl

I have this file in models folder and the game kicks me to menu.

Thanks for answer, any solutions guys?

Before you continue, make sure that you have the right GPU drivers for your model.
Verify the integrity of your game cache. Right-click Cry of Fear in your Steam library, click Properties then under the Local Files tab click Verify Integrity of Game Cache. (In short, this basically cleans up any "Broken"or missing files and downloads fresh ones.)
Then, go to the General tab and click "Launch Options". Type in "-windowed" and see if your problem still happens.

I'm not sure what's wrong with the second issue. All I can say is make doubly sure that the exact folder it's looking for is in that folder.

GPU Drivers are ok, I Verified the game and is full ok too. In full screen only this happens now Windowed mode are ok, When i maximize, minimize again (Full Screen), the picture going smaller and smaller to the lower point of monitor screen. Here's a picture in attachment what it's looks like. I only have problem with this version of Cry, 1.55 v. is the best in my mind, no troubles with this problem, even no buggy in my case.
