Flatscreen and Bethesda shitting the bed
Flatscreen and Bethesda shitting the bed
Yesterday, I joined the 21st century and finally bought a 23" x 17" LCD monitor, which replaces my 50 pound 19" flat screen CRT and somehow even has more vertical viewing space. Needless to say, it's an Acer and fucking awesome; between the monitor and the computer I'm a fan of theirs for life. My other options in the class - one higher price and one lower price - did not look as good, aside from an LG that looked better but not $80 better. Having desk space is also enjoyable, because I have a place for my snacks and/or the ability to paint Warhammer 40k guys while downloading high definition pornography.
Every game I have did some kind of check on startup and was like, "Hey buddy, seems you have a fucking awesome monitor now, let's change the resolution automatically for you." A lot of my games seem to perform better now, too, which is shocking.
What was not shocking was the only game I have that did not automatically switch resolutions was Fallout 3. So I closed it, as there is no ingame option to change resolution, then changed it to a friendlier resolution in the launcher. Now when I lplay Fallout 3, my wireless internet connection constantly disconnects and reconnects to the router.
This post isn't OMGhalp i cant play fallout3 lolz, as with the last DLC my tour of this concentration camp of the mind is complete, but I'm just wondering how in the hell a resolution change in a videogame can cause the internet connection to become loopy.

Aside from shenanigans on Comcast's end occasionally, my internet is perfectly fine while running any program but Fallout 3. I'm just wondering what kind of idiot fuck can program a 16:9 aspect ratio resolution change that messes with internet connections.Manoil wrote:Doesn't this thread stand to say the internet is loopy without need of Fallout 3?

If so, the patches should fix the problems. Securom even released a fixed .exe - basically they took a crack from one of the torrents and said "here, use this"senisterdenister wrote:That said it might be a Securom problem or something.
