Game launches in unreadable resolution

Post by sydfynch »

The game is launching in a resolution that is only showing me the top left corner of the screen and not allowing me to reset the resolution so I can set preferences and play the game. I've tried changing launch options in steam but that isn't working. How can I launch it so I can see the whole screen?

lets take a look at your system settings, to see what could be wrong

How to get a DirectX Diagnostic file:

1. click on "START"
2. click "run"
3. type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments rather than pasted into the body of the post.

once the report has been made, just attach it to your post with first adding the file to a zip, which is then permitted to attach to the forum

Look in /Documents/My Games/FieldOfGlory2

There should be a file called Options.txt

In it there should be lines that look like this:

RezX 1920
RezY 1080

Make sure you don't have the game open, then change them to match your screen resolution.

That should hopefully sort out the issue.

Do you have an unusual monitor setup in any way? AFAIK the only way that could happen would be if the game was trying to launch in windowed mode AND had chosen a rez much larger than your monitor can support.
