| Summary | 0001109: "Failed to set graphics mode" error when connected by Remote Desktop | ||||
| Description | In the circumstance that you decide to launch a standalone server while connected to the serving machine via remote desktop, you receive a "Failed to set graphics mode" error. This is VERY trivial, seeing as once you hit Ok, the standalone launches and operates normally. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Connected via remote desktop to the serving machine 2. Launched with command args: C:\Games\FreeSpace2\fs2_open_3_6_9_rc7dot8_debug.exe -standalone -multilog | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

What is the exact error message? I've looked for "Failed to set graphics mode", and variations, but haven't found anything so far. I'm not sure that this is actually a game error which is why I ask. |
|
|
* BUMP * Any more info on what the exact error message was? There is nothing I can think to do about this until it's known what was generating the error. |

I've encountered this issue before (though while trying to launch FS2, not a standalone server). I'll try to get the message this evening. |

i believe remote desktop uses the default svga graphics driver, i couldn't even remote into home and start up starcraft. It said i needed to install DirectX 5. Although the standalone should just pass up all graphics checks anyway. |
|
|
Bah. I can't get Remote Desktop to work here. :( |
|
|
Not going to work on this. |
|
|
This isn't really specific to multiplayer, not is it an error from the game itself. This is mostly likely a Windows specific error message, though from what I have no idea. I'm going to try and replicate it in the next day or two and if I can't then this bug will just be closed. |
