Game failing to launch

Switched to a new widescreen monitor

from GalCiv2 Forums
The game is failing to launch after I have switched to a new widescreen monitor. I've seen from some other posts that the game should support widescreen, so that might not be the reason why it's failing. Currently, I'm thinking that it's because the game is still trying to go into my old resolution mode (1600x1200) and my monitor is running at 1680x1050 (no 1600x1200 support obviously). Is there a way to change the game's resolution back to the default besides reinstalling? Any help would be appreciated.

Since you can't launch the game you can manually adjust the resolution in your prefs.ini file. It is found in your MyGames/GalCiv2 folder.

That fixed it, thanks for the help.

Maybe stardock would want to document/fix this "bug" in a future patch!

You're welcome. Resolution variations are not necessarily a bug with the code, just a problem that needs troubleshooting if you don't know what's going on behind the scenes. Glad it worked for you.
