Tron Evolution - Screen Resolution issues etc?

[DJ Cryotek]

I have put this info together a bit more clearly HERE on the PC Gaming Wiki.

-----------------

And obviously I know it's not a Steam game, that's why this is in Off Topic

I'm having some issues. The game runs okay, but I can't get the resolution up to 1920x1080 or 1920x1200. The in-game screen only lets me pick somewhere around 1600xwhatever, which looks like crap scaled up.

It is an Unreal Engine 3 game, but so far I can't seem to find anywhere in the config files that makes a difference. The anti-aliasing needs cranked up, too, but I could probably force that with ATI Tray Tools or something. Overall they give you very little in terms of in-game tweakable options.

Any ideas? At this point the game looks worse than my friend's PS3 copy, which is just unacceptable!

Okay, I am figuring some of this out on my own.

The file you need is in here:

C:\Users\username\Documents\Disney Interactive Studios\Tron Evolution\UnrealEngine3\GridGame\Config

GridEngine.ini is what you need to modify.

search for
ResX=
ResY=
(they will = the current value)

Then plug in the values you want there, ie

ResX=1920
ResY=1080

What was throwing me is that using 1200 for Y will NOT work. I'm not sure why, as some of the default lower resolutions are 16:10, but that's all I know for now.

Although it's visually obvious, I used FRAPS to take screenshots and verify the resolution.

I'll update this topic with anything else I find out; others please feel free to do the same until some proper tweak guide gets produced!

Verified
change res in the gridconfig.ini

now if we can get the fps to 60?

[DJ Cryotek]

There is NO framerate cap like War for Cybertron etc. I took my screenshots with FRAPS, the framerate is displayed in the lower right hand corner- 60

1920x1080 at 60fps

I am tweaking other settings, trying to improve the graphics one way or another. The game looks okay, but it barely scratches what a PC can do visually- I'm getting a solid fps, and I just have an HD5750 and Athlon II x4 630. Hoping to find a way to make the reflections look flawless instead of all blurry...

Skipping Intro Logos & Movies:

In GridEngine.ini, just put a semi-colon ; before each movie that you want to skip:

;StartupMovies=Unreal
;StartupMovies=GamestarLogo
;StartupMovies=PropagandaLogo
;StartupMovies=DisneyLogo
;StartupMovies=Sc1_01_01

Those are all the movies that occur before the title screen.

Other Issues:

Cannot properly enable Direct-X 10:
setting AllowD3D10=True causes bugs. The in-game menus/hud are not visible. Performance seems poor as well.

64-Bit Support Not Available
The box lists the game as "enhanced for 64-bit," but it runs as a 32-bit application.

(I only list these as "issues" because the game's box specifically states that it is "Enhanced for" Direct-X 10 and 64-Bit)

Doing this (changing resolution to 1920x1080) also improved framerate for me. I was having terrible framerate in the game and absolutely should not be with my hardware.
Now it's just fine - thanks for the advice.
Why this isn't an option in-game is beyond me.

It's a fine game, it is, but suffers all the troubles of a cruddy port from Xbox.

HI guys, i have tried the tips but it is not working...Do you really see the difference or not? Have you got more tweaks? Thanks.

Did this game only come out on PC in North America? I've been trying to find a copy but it seems impossible to attain in the UK.

I have also had this issue. The tips here helped me, but now the targeting arrow is offset by quite a bit.

But I thought the grid had no pixels...
