Hi All,

Just installed the new FO3.0 and have a small issue. When I go into the menu to change the resolution the menu button to go back to the main menu is not there ?

I have a geforce 8800 GT and the latest drivers installed. I habe un-installed and re-install FO but same issue. Using windows Vista Prem 64Bit.

Any help would be awesome. By the way I have used the search option here and I can't see anyone with the same problem.

Thanks in advance

Since we're on the graphic menu issue. I have a problem as well. When I changed my graphic options to 1280x1024 and AA 4x and clicked back Armada crashed for some reason. When I went back to the graphic options they were set and I am able to play fine, its just it crashed for no apparent reason. I thought u guys should know that

Im using Geforce 7800 512MB on Vista 32bit sp1 with all the latest drivers ofc

hi, im new to the forum but i also have a graphics issue although its not neccessarily with the menu, my issue has to deal with the background textures such as nebulas, asteroids etc being of very low quality and having a somewhat choppy effect, my vid card is a nvidia 7300GS with latest drivers, 256mb, and worked fine on fleetops 3.0PR, ive tried all the settings i can think of on both my card panel and the in game menu, if you can help it would be much appreciated, thx

hello, i am having the same problem as Riser. i cant seem to change the graphic settings, or even go back from the graphic menu. Is there any way to change the settings outside the game? what i mean is, can the games settings be accessed from the data folder?  thanks.

Hi, I'm having similar issues with the menus like the first post, but I'm just running the game on my laptop screen. Also the description for the check marks does not appear.
Specs: 2GHz single core, Nvidia 7800 GTX with 256 mb, 2 Gb ram 800 MHz, running XP Pro, screen resolution: 1920-1200
Any ideas?

the display size doesn't matter. just what you have selected as your dpi size in windows.
btw. i have finished the fix for custom dpi settings. it will be available with the next patch
