Unable to change screen resolution to 720p
Monkey Targets Forums/XNA/Unable to change screen resolution to 720p
| ||
| (FIXED) Hello, I have just started today with monkey and I was trying to build for XNA in order to make some indie game for xbox360. The default XNA application made by monkey has a 640x480 resolution, I have changed the program.cs source code in visual C# in order to make 1280x720 games, but monkey just seems to ignore the changes and still makes 640x480 builds... I have surely miss something. Here are the changes I made to the program.cs code in the XNA project. (clicked SAVE ALL and is still changed once I reopen it) public class MonkeyConfig{ #if WINDOWS public const int WINDOW_WIDTH=1280; public const int WINDOW_HEIGHT=720; public const bool WINDOW_RESIZABLE=false; public const bool WINDOW_FULLSCREEN=false; #elif XBOX public const int WINDOW_WIDTH=1280; public const int WINDOW_HEIGHT=720; public const bool WINDOW_RESIZABLE=false; public const bool WINDOW_FULLSCREEN=true; #elif WINDOWS_PHONE public const int WINDOW_WIDTH=640; public const int WINDOW_HEIGHT=480; public const bool WINDOW_RESIZABLE=false; public const bool WINDOW_FULLSCREEN=true; #endif } (by the way, changing the windows_phone res didn't change anything. I tryied just in case.) |

| Ok, I found the issue. It seems related to the visual c# compiler. Only games that have been built for the first time are in 1280x720 now. The ones I already compiled before making the res changes still build a 640x480 app... Anybody knows how to force a full rebuild from the c# compiler? |

| Ok, found it: you have to delete the "YourAppNameHere.build\XNA" folder in order to force the c# to fully rebuild it. Posted in case someone has the same issue one day. |

| By the way, be careful using any other screen res than 1280x720 or 640x480 with xbox360, since hardware resizing for not compatible TVs is not granted outside those 2 resolutions! If you want to make a 1080p game, you will have to manage manually the case were someone doesn't have a fullHD TV or even has an SD-TV (480i). Thus, using the 1280x720 (720p) screen definition is recommended by microsoft XNA creators club as a "good practice". (since the xbox will automagically downsample to 480i if there is no other screen resolutions available) |
