Running 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and when I run the vendetta client, it launches and updates fine. I adjusted my screen resolution in the game options, and all seems OK. However when I quit the client, my screen resolution is reset to 800x600, which is pretty annoying.

Any hints?

That sounds like the game isn't exiting cleanly, which can result in it not saving the settings. Maybe the ~/.vendetta/errors.log file has relevant information about why that would happen.

You should be able to manually adjust the settings by editing ~/.vendetta/config.ini

You didn't install the game as root (sudo) did you?

I switched over to the Windows 7 version, since all of my boxes are dual- (or triple-) boot. I didn't install as root, and it was installed to ~/.vendetta as expected.

Just checked errors.log, and there aren't any entries indicated that it didn't exit cleanly.

Mine did this a couple of times too. I don't notice it very often though since most of the time I play with VO in a window. I'll have to check it when I get home and see what happens.

I am having this problem as well. I tried changing the settings in wgaf.cfg and that had no affect. However, the setting is unchanged in the file after running the game. However, the settings seem to have no affect and I am having to change the resolution every time I play.

set rHUDxscale "1280.000000"
set rHUDyscale "720.000000"

Strangely, this problem was resovled when I switched from my laptops inbuilt wifi to a direct connection to the router.
