    Okay I have Counter-Strike: Source and i got the SDK (and the SDK base), and I installed all the Empires RC things and installed them correctly, i can get onto the game and it's pretty much fine except the menu interface is completely screwed up.

    It's like Really big and goes of the screen, it's not a resolution thing or anything to do with the Video settings.

    I cannot see how many resources my team has which is annoying if I ever wanted to be commander.

    all on all, this mod works fine if you only have CSS and the SDK, but the menu's such as the Team Selection, the Promotion/Equipment Selection, and the Engineers mini-build menu.

    i was gonna send this to Krenzo but it didn't allow me, so I'll just stick it right here. :)

    If you want some pictures of what I'm talking about I'd be happy to give you some.

    Changing resolution in-game requires you to restart Empires for the UI to fix itself. This is a Source issue. Also, the minimum res is 1024x768.

    ah ok it's fixed now :D
    Any chance of the Resolution able to be increased in later versions?

    MINIMUM resolution is 1024x768, not maximum. 1248x1024 should work fine if it does in other Source games.

    1248x1024 ... i don't think i've ever seen that resolution to be honest. Did you perhaps mean 1280x1024 ? That should work.

    I had it in that resolution and like the B menu was really big and went off screen, possibly cause I dont own HL2DM just CSS and the SDK :P

    as long as you're either using HL2DM or SDK Base you're fine :)

    1.08 doesn't use HL2: DM, it uses Source SDK Base.

    And I've tried 1280x1024 and 1280x960, it works fine.

    Set the resolution in the game. Then, exit the game COMPLETELY. As in, press quit. (I say this since I met someone once who thought that "exit the game" meant "leave the server". My brain exploded.). Now, start the game up again.

    Your problem should be fixed.

    These people tend to go "oh, it fixed itself, nvm the topic I made". Maybe we should set up a support forum with a faq in it.

    Or just a message that says :

    "You must restart the game to change the resolution."
    [Restart] [Cancel]
    Cancel would not change the resolution.
