OMLauncher failing to change any settings

[leobloom]

First off, I'd like to say well done on getting so far on such an amazing and complex project!

The bug I've been experiencing is this:
After a fresh install on Windows 7 64 bit and loading up for the first time, I can launch the game fine from the launcher and the engine itself works as intended, but any changes I make to the settings (such as resolution or switching to opengl rendering) fail to work. I have changed the permissions of the folder to "full control" for any user so it is not a write problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Leo

Please try the release candidate for 0.16. There have been a lot of launcher changes in the upcoming release so this issue might be solved already.

I was using 0.16. I also tried 0.15 but the problem occurred there too.

Is there a file I can manually edit to change the resolution? Attempting to change the resolution in game gives the intriguing error message:

Code: Select all

Error in framelistener: bad lexical cast: source type value could not be interpreted as target

Im posting my settings.cfg file on request from scrawl. (got the same problem)
