Problem with refresh rate (version 0.8.7, WinXP)

Post by mr_moose »

Hi all -
I downloaded Wesnoth 0.8.7 for Windows. Install was OK, but when I tried to play it (double-clicking on the shortcut), the screen went black and I got an error window saying - "68K - 84 Hz - Frequency is out of range".
( I've posted this bug on the usual bug website) .
My monitor refresh rate is 85 Hz ( heh - so near, but yet so far ... :-)) )
So, I was wondering - is there a way to force Wesnoth to refresh at 85 Hz?
Maybe a command-line switch or something?
Very many thanks in advance! Bye for now -

There should be an option to play Wesnoth in windowed mode available in the start menu, which should work regardless of refresh rate...
