Play Bastion at low resolution

[supergreatawesome]

Hey guys,
I recently bought Bastion on Steam for Linux and it runs terribly on my laptop at 1280x800(16:10) resolution but is much more playable at 800x600(4:3) resolution. I do this by changing my screen resolution for the whole system and then running the game. This is kind of annoying because I have to switch back after I'm done. Is there any way where I can make the resolution change automatically when I play the game? Like in Windows you have "Run in 640x480" in properties and stuff. Just wondering..
Any and all help is appreciated

From Bastion READMe.txt file;

The game stores it's configuration and other save game files in the ~/.SupergiantGames/Bastion
folder located in your home folder. These files are not-editable outside of the game, but you
back them up. Resolution settings are stored in the profiles.

I can't find the folder you're telling me about
Another thing is that I'm looking not to change the resolution of the game, but the resolution of my computer when I start the game, and have it return to normal when I exit it.

Then you may want to look at this: http://www.vxbus.com/software/linux/...untu-1204.html
and then build a script afterwards.

A script contains a number of commands you want to execute, example of a script I use to tweak & run ET: Quake Wars

#!/bin/bash
OLD_CONSOLE_KEYMAP=`xmodmap -pke|grep "51"|cut -d "=" -f 2`
xmodmap -e "keycode 51 = quoteleft asciitilde"

sh -c "cd /games/ETQW/ && pasuspender -- ./etqw-rthread +set s_alsa_pcm plughw:0" $@

xmodmap -e "keycode 51 = ${OLD_CONSOLE_KEYMAP}"

Riiight. Okay, thanks for your help. I read through the link but I was looking for something a bit simpler.. guess it's not possible without making a script. I would, if I knew how xD
Haha thanks anyways

If you give a go, create a file called B_launch.sh, open it with a text editor.
When you start to make a script, you'll start with #!/bin/bash

Next in line you want to tell the system to change resolution: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode <X>x<Y>_<Z>.00
Perhaps insert a pause as well before launching the game: sleep 5
Now to launch the game: sh -c "cd <destination> && ./<binary file>" $@
And then last set the resolution back: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode <X>x<Y>_<Z>.00

I tried it. It says something like "cannot find mode 800x600" and same for the reverting resolution. And also "&&" unexpected. *confused*

Can you tell me more about your computer First

Thread reopened.

And also "&&" unexpected. *confused*

Did you adapt the linesh -c "cd <destination> && ./<binary file>" $@ to your game's location and file name?
