Possible FIX for missing resolutions (1920x1080)

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to post a possible fix for missing resolutions in video settings.

I had an issue with the game where I could only see four 4:3 resolutions in the game's video settings. (my native screen resolution is 1920x1080). I've read all I could find on the forums but none of the fixes worked for me. I've changed the Config.wtf file (it kept revering back to 1240x1024), I don't run dual monitors, no need for custom rez, I've even reinstalled windows 10 last night :)) )

I run on a basic 1920x1080 monitor with two graphics cards: a dedicated GTX760 and an on-board Intel HD Graphics Card.

This is a possible solution for people with 2x graphics adapters (on-board and dedicated). What worked for me was going into the BIOS and changing the Primary Adapter from "on-board" to "PCI-Express", essentially marking the dedicated adapter as PRIMARY. After that I changed the gxResolution to 1920x1080 in the Config.wtf file and the game started in the proper 1920x1080.

I really hope this helps someone!

Υou should edit title to include "laptop".

Not everybody plays on a laptop, and for people with desktop PC's there are no missing resolutions.

For instance, I play at 3440X1440 21:9 with my desktop PC and my Acer Predator X34 GSYNC monitor. Nothing was "missing" as you imply for me and people with desktop systems.

Neither do I mate. It's a bit silly to say "for people with desktop PC's there are no missing resolutions". I play on a desktop. Most motherboards nowadays have on-boards graphics chips.

Edit. Also, nobody implied that everyone with a desktop system has this issue., or everyone with a laptop for that matter. it's a possible fix for people encountering it.

I thought you used a laptop b/c you said that you are using the onboard GPU.

Nobody I know on Overclock.net who owns a desktop PC uses the mini GPU onboard the CPU. We all use separate, independent stand-alone GPU's.

I don't think I have even heard of anyone with a desktop system using the mini GPU onboard the CPU, if they already have a discreet GPU. You are the first such person.

It is not wise to use the mini GPU that comes with the CPU, because it just causes the CPU to produce more heat and limits your potential overclock. This is like computing 101, nobody does that.

In any case, you claimed that there are "missing resolutions", but there is no such thing. You prolly should have put it in a different way.
