Resolution problems w/ B. 21

[Spook]

My game won't go fullscreen anymore on 1680x1050. Never had a problem with it before, but all of the sudden it's just being stubborn.

Also, for some reason I can't use reflective water without extreme fps loss (goes down to around 6 fps) and I'm fairly sure my computer can handle it.

Try changing the display refresh.  The water problem sounds like a driver issue, maybe.  Have you tried reverting to build 20 to see if it still happens?

I've done a full fresh install, and that seems to have taken care of the resolution problem. As to the reflective water, it has to have been something in my config, as that's what keeps making the game go haywire. Right after the fresh install, i tested the res, and went to midnight2 with reflective water on, and got a good 300 fps. When I transferred my config, everything went crazy again.

Strange.  I guess keep tinkering with settings until you figure out what was causing the issue.

With this new computer I don't need all those FPS boosters. So I just ended up rebinding the essentials, and everything is good now.
