Hello!
I just bought this game, but there seem to be some issue, as I'm getting "No valid display modes found. Starsector requires at least a 1024x768 screen to run." error. I'll paste all output below, and also some information that could be relevant. Please feel free to ask me about anything else that could be helpful.

Could it be caused by the fact that I have 16:10 monitor? Is there any work around it? I tried to to set some 16:9 resolution but it didn't help though.

I'm not sure if that's relevant but:

Any idea what could I do to run this game?

Hi - sorry about the trouble! This means that the game can't find any valid resolutions to run at - likely this could be resolved by  some configuration changes on your end. See this thread, for example:

https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=17016.msg268771#msg268771

If that doesn't help, you could open up data/config/settings.json and look for:

#"resolutionOverride":"1024x768",

Uncomment that and replace the resolution with whatever you want, that may get around the issue.


... ah, wait! The error message is actually wrong; the game requires at least 1280x768, which given the log output it doesn't seem your display supports. You could force it to run at a lower resolution using resolutionOverride, but parts of the UI may get cut off.

(I'm not sure what the 1200x1920 mode is all about, that seems... odd?)

[Luken]

Thanks Alex, that helped!

Uncommenting resolution override and setting it to my actual resolution:

"resolutionOverride":"2560x1600",

Made the game start. Seems like an issue with resolution detection then? Some additional info:

• I have 2 monitors, one is set up vertically.
  
• I use Wayland as my display server.

Do you think one of these things could confuse the game? If yes I could try to disconnect monitor/switch to X11 to isolate the main issue, if that would help you to fix that, so next players could have a smoother initial experience .

Cool, glad you got it working!

It's probably that, yeah, though I would guess there is probably some way to configure it to make the game see it. But since the settings file provides the workaround...

I appreciate the offer to help, but I don't think there's much I can really do to tweak this - not without writing some awfully-Linux-specific-code - and it's not a place I really want to go for something that's not that common and has a workaround.
