RomTerraria Update #2 for 1.1

In this build:

- Additional checkbox in place to allow you to downscale the size of the backgrounds by 75% at the expense of some visual issues for now.  The new backgrounds look great, but some of them take up to 16MB of VRAM each.  I'll work on the visual issues once I find a way to replace two behaviors.

- Additional work to try to get Eyefinity working again.  If your Radeon card is properly set up for Eyefinity, please leave the resolution settings set to "Let Terraria handle my game's resolution" and see if your resolution appears in the list.

- CTRL Tooltips updated to work on new "workbench" tiles.  Still incomplete for all other tile types.

Still working on map and performance enhancements.

omegapatten,

Please rename or delete the file My Documents\My Games\Terraria\config.dat. It looks like a corrupt height value was stored in the file.

Then update the launcher and try again.

Right about the time this update came out (Update #2 for 1.1), the custom resolution function stopped working. With 1600x900 selected, it reverts to the standard 800x600 at launch. I hadn't had any issues prior.

I'm using Vista Home Premium x64 and a Geforce 9800 GT, if that helps.

I'd also just like to say I appreciate the work you've put into RomTerraria.

Michael Russell said...

Tek,

I'll look into it. Due to a lot of code changes in the guts of Terraria, custom resolutions are a bit of a mess at the moment.

For now, please try to let Terraria manage its own resolutions until I get something more flexible in place.

Taylor said...

Understood. I'm using Terraria Wrapper at the moment to get my widescreen fix until the RomTerraria situation is sorted out, so no rush.
