Client remembers resolutions and windows screen location
« on: February 07, 2013, 09:24:13 am »
I am using the client in various computers (Home, Work, Laptop), and each of them has a different image resolution.
Every time i start the game i need to fix windows to the correct position.
It would be nice, to have an .ini file in each computer that holds the client parameters.

If this is already implemented, and should be working accordingly,  then i am facing problems with it :O

TY :)

The in-game window positions and key bindings appear to be held in the My Documents\AfterWorld Survival\Cache\preferences.cache file. Is it the in-game of the client window you have problems with?

In my experience the in-game window preferences are saved on the local computer (except for the Map, Control Panel, and Personal Informer window positions, which are not saved at all). When you run the game for the first time on any computer you will have to move the windows to your preferred locations and expand them to your preferred size, then they should be remembered from then on.

However my experience with playing AW on different computers is in AWA. I haven't been able to get AWS installed on any of my older computers yet so I'm not sure if it's the same.
