Monitor refresh rate
« on: May 08, 2010, 01:53:23 PM »
Hello,

I´m a CRT User and need my 120Hz refresh rate in the game. In the normal CoH game is this realized via the shortcut instruction -refresh 120. But the EF Launcher ignores such instructions for the game. Is there a workaround for that? Can I create a Shortcut to start the game directly instead of using the (lame) launcher? Such a shortcut in addition to the launcher would be nice.

ehh... take a look at launcher before calling it "lame". Launch it >> Start Parameters >> Additional line command parameters: >> input "-refresh 120" (do i have to tell to input it without quotes?).

I had taken a look at the launcher. But I never found "Start Parameters". What do you mean with that?

before asking for stuff to be added, make sure your Eastern front is up to date as these changes may already be added.

So update your Eastern Front then you can change it

Chances are he's got an outdated launcher.

Yes, I had a outdatet launcher and I thought a few days ago when I download the mod, the version is new. But I had to update but the check for updates Server was allways timed out. A little bit hidden in the forum I found that I have to patch the game manually. And updating the EF_Launcher.exe was´nt always succesful because of a Win7 write right delay I guess. Applying a patch after the last one was only succesful when I waited a minute.

OK then. The new launcher has a few new options but it´s a pity that the command line parameter seems to be cleared after closing the game and the choosable refreshrate options are only going to 100Hz.

A shortcut which directly starts the game would be still nice.
