Yesterday I installed Alien arena.
It seems to work fine, but for one thing.
When ever I try to change the resolution the game crashes.
When the game starts the resolution is 640 x 480 or some like that
Setting it to the resolution of my desktop 1680 x 1050 and click apply changes, the game crashes.
I have tried switching full screen on and full screen off, but that does not change anything it still crashes.
Is there a way to start the game from the command line, so I might see errors ?
Already looked at alien arena forums, but found nothing useful there.

A little more information might help folks out to see where the problem might be. What version of opensuse? What desktop environment and version? What sort of graphics drivers are you using? Out of the box/open-source or propietary blobs?
Try editing ~/.codered/arena/config.cfg
E.g.:
set vid_width “1920”
set m_smoothing “0”

Thank you
( OpenSUE 12.2 64 bit, AMD HD5750 1 gig ram, AMD phenom II X4 3.2ghz, 4 gig ram )
I opened the file and searched for the lines stated in the post above.
When I now look at video settings its says vid mode 1280 * 960
Custom width 1680
Just fragged a bit and it seems to work fine.
Funny though, that when I click apply changes it still crashes … ( but because I edited the file manual the game remembers it, so I so not need to click apply changes)
Added the game to steam, and I can start the game from steam for Linux (beta)
First game not installed on windows too, only on Linux

I assume that the new video settings work !

To me it looks the new settings works. ( its def not 640 * 480 anymore )
1680 *1050 is the default res of my monitor. Samsung syncmaster.
I also found a log file, which is the same from what I see when the game crashes, but its readable.
From the desktop, properties of .codered
Owner is allowed to read and change
group no permission
its not executable

You may probably run the “xrandr” output and set the ~/.codered/arena/config.cfg multiple times to find the best resolution that works for you
