Resolution is too big

[MrGuppy]

Hello, my resolution is too big I have tried many options including nuking it I have tried the setting, but nothing has worked I can reach the resolution on the game setting itself because it's outside my screen. please help.

do you have a low resolution on your PC?  Maybe try temporarily increasing resolution on your PC to match what VS is set at.  then hopefully you can lower them both.

What is the full resolution? Do you use anything like a screen magnifier?

If you press F11, it should force the game to be full screen which should allow you to set the resolution settings in the menu.

Out of curiosity, what is your operating system? I vaguely recall a Linux user having similar issues a while back, and it turned out to be a result of some customization they did.

Is there a way that I can reset the setting to before they were modified or if there's a way to completely resent my vintage story like erase everything that I have done just so it runs properly, I just want play again even if it means losing all my progress. Also, your questions are a bit confusing I'm not the best when it comes to computers.

This happened to me one time. I had to delete the configuration files to reset it. So just delete every configuration file you can find then reinstall the game.  I would tell you the exact file but I'm in an airport.

I cant seem find the files you spoke of

In your Data folder, the one that holds your Saves & Mods folders, you will find:

clientsettings.json & serverconfig.json

I believe these are the files @Zane Mordien was talking about. I do know from experience that they will regenerate when you start the game, and this should give you a clean start. (I'm no expert though)

Btw, if you do not quote a person (or ping them like I've done), they may not know that you've spoken to them unless they've subscribed to the thread or happen upon it by accident.

eta: by default, I believe the Data folder location is under Users/(yourusername)/AppData/Roaming/VintagestoryData/

@dakko thanks, I meant to come back and post the file names. I'm pretty sure it is the clientsettings.

No. You are looking at the folder for the installed game. You want to be looking at the folder that contains your data (data meaning your personal files, such as saves and mods you are using).

(see below post for wiki link)

eta: By the way, although the game folder also contains a "mods" folder, that is not where we put the mods we play with. The game itself uses that folder - confusing, I know, but just remember that it is not the folder that you add mods to.

For the record, the correct Mods folder should be empty if no mods have been installed previously. The incorrect Mods folder will have a readme file in it that says "Do not put mods here".

how do I reach my folder with the data

Here is the link for the wiki description of how to get there. The clientsettings.json file is the one you want, and it is in VintagestoryData:

That should be it. Also be careful of Doxing yourself in screen shots. If you are still having issues just copy the Maps and Saves folders and delete the entire "VintagestoryData" folder and reinstall. Then copy and paste them back in.
