[1.1.27] Changing sprite resolution to high on GeForce Now

Post by Arty0m »

When i changing sprite resoluting to "High" it requires to restart the game to apply changes, it works fine while i playing in Factorion on my computer.
When i confirming restart game while i playing Factorio in GeForce Now my current game-session is closed without restarting game. After starting new session sprite resoluting is still "Normal".

Contact GeForce support

I don't really see why they would start the game in normal res, since thats normally for weak and old GPUs

So, by default it is set to "High". Is it true, that when I change this option and press restart this option new value is writen to the config.ini before game is closed?

Yes, it would have defaulted to High on GPUs that Geforce Now servers are using, and yes, the game writes the new value to config.ini when you confirm the changes. And GeForce Now will overwrite the config.ini value back to "Normal" when launching the game again.

What strings are responsible for the sprite resolution?

Because GeForce Now, I think, will even not discuss the possibility of disabling resetting, because of their understanding of optimization, maybe this is not hard to implement forcing this option throu launch parametrs?

If it is possible to set launch parameters, then following will force high sprite resolution regardless of config value.

Code: Select all

--graphics-quality=high

Despite in options it is still says that sprite resolution is normal, in game I can see that it is high.

Thank you very much!
