how to reduce resolution in the ball?

[darkvoid]

as everyone knows, the ball is in the potato sack, so if i play it, it will help portal 2 get released early. however my computer sucks so it will not run the ball that long without crashing, i can lower the resolution, but its lowest is not enough. (update: the game wont even start now.) so how do i lower its resolution past the in game settings,i don't want this game to be a waste of money. please explain in detail, i'm not a tech wizard.

Go to

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\The Ball\UDKGame\Config

open the file UDKGame.ini

edit ResX and ResY to the exact resolution you want, e.g.

ResX=1680
ResY=1050

You can also open the console in game, tab or ~, and type "setres 640x480", press enter.

are there any resolutions lower than this? im still getting alot of lag. but its playable to some degree.......

You can type out any number you like, so yeah you could type in 2x1 and have a 2 pixel width screen :)

Try 320x240 or such.

real quick i should mention in order to switch the resolution to a one not on the menu, make sure its set to a default resolution or else it wont work, second, whenever i try to lower it past 640x480 it will do everything LIKE its changing, but will stay at this resolution. its not the problem i addressed above, with that one it would sense the command but wouldn't do anything, PLEASE help. i getting annoyed with this whole thing

I think that might be a monitor limitation you hit there. Try to run the game in a window, then it should allow you to set just about any possible resolution.

Thanks! it may be weird running in a small screen but its worth it!
