Colour Depth Problem

Post #1by Azagoth » 24.07.2002, 19:50

I know it's not a serious problem, but I can't get Celestia to run at 1024x768x32 Colour Depth.

I get the usual resolutions upto 1024x768 at 16bit (15" monitor), and all the rest of the resolutions at 32bit apart from 1024x768 which is only showing up as choosable at 16bit.

I am running a GeForce4 Ti4400 128Mb DDR so it should be there.

Any Ideas.

Strange . . . so is this a problem in the display properties control panel? Or is 1024x768 missing from the fullscreen resolutions list in Celestia?

Hi Chris,

No, it's not there in Celestias' own display resolutions, everything else is just not 1024x768x32. I have the desktop and all my games set to 32bit so I know it should be there, I have re-installed aswell, still wasn't there.

Here is the OpenGL info, I don't know if it'll help

Well, I've just done another install of Celestia, and it still doesn't show up. It's baffling me as all the other resolutions are showing up at 32bit just not 1024x768.

What driver version have you got installed?

29.42 (11th June 2002) are the latest WGQL Certified drivers for NT 5.x.

I'm using Nvidia (28.32) on Windows 98SE, I find these to be the most stable although I haven't tried the (29.**) build yet.
