If he is playing EM4 then I doubt FRAPS will take a serious hit on his performance.

I'm not so sure about that. I have an i7 @ 2.8ghz, 9gb of RAM, and a GTS 250.
It maxes out most games on a 1920 by 1200 screen but I get a large FPS drop of about 15-20 when nothing is selected in EM4 that cause some lag.

P.S. I'm not trying to show off my computer. Just trying to show the FPS drop.

The XFire application doesn't support EM4, at least what I experience. If someone have managed to get it working with EM4 then tell me how. I will try using Hypercam and see if I get another result.

I have it working without a problem
You just need to have it on while playing the game. Also remember the key combination you selected to start recording and stop.

Looks fine in regular Notepad.

Most people already knew about changing the resolution in the .cfg file anyway, I was just telling him what to edit, like he asked.

This weasnt directed at you, but in the original screen shot it does not look fine in notepad.

As for most people knowing, you know better. People cant even read 2 posts up before they reply, and you think they know how to edit the cfg file? Come on now..


I feel that when you adjust the games resolution to fit your screen, it distorts the image....the cars look weird and firetrucks too long...maybe because im playing on a widescreen...

Thanks though

I have a Dell2208WFP 22 Inch Widescreen, I had to manually edit the cfg to make the game fullscreen, and everything looks fine here.

My .cfg file in Notepad looks exactly like how I posted it before, straight from it. Dunno why his wasn't working then. Not Notepad's fault.
And by most people I meant those that have already been here awhile.

BTW maybe people will be "smarter" if you're nicer. Oh snap.

I have actually been here for a good year or two and just made the account a few days ago. I never knew of the resolution tweak.

Lol was saying that a lot of older members know about it.

Hmm my EM4 still cuts off a bit despite the fact I've manually changed it. Now excuse me; Imma go make a space map for L4D.

What do you mean? Even though I manually changed the resolution to 1920 x 1080 it still tapers off a bit at the right edge, meaning there is some black on the left and things like the health bar are cut off.
Got L4D2?I have L4D for PC and 360 and L4D2 for 360.

Well, I know how to edit it, I was just having trouble finding it..

I have a HP G60-530US Notebook with a 17 inch HD widescreen...I paid extra for a 5-in-1 digital media reader which is supposed to speed up transfer of files..and an expensive "intel graphics media accelerator 4500M" with 1450 mb of video memory...and the screen gets all distorted when I change the resolution to fit my screen...
I need to look through some of my settings...because something isn't right..

I see a slight difference. How do I save the settings? Or do I have to edit them everytime I play? I click "apply", but the settings don't save the next time I play. :wall:

Intel graphics are a joke, so that may be part of the problem. And your media reader cant speed up file transfers beyond the specs of the protocols. It simply gives you more available device support. Have you tried going in to options when you load the game, and turning up the details to high if there nto already there.

For the config file? It shouldn't change itself. My guess is UAC playing up.

Sorry I'm not good with computers, so what's UAC? What do mean by it's "playing up"? :gruebel: But I'm talking about the control panel, though. I open the NVIDIA control panel, edit the graphic settings for Emergency 4, click Apply, and close it. When I turn on my computer again, I have to eidt the graphics settings again. :huh:

I have a bit of a problem with the resolution tweak. Whenever i try and save the settings that I edited in the Em4.cfg file, It says, " Unable to save. Please make sure the file and path name are correct. " Anyone know that that means?
