Prototype Resolution

[Kharak]

I had a LG 37" screen HD TV... But it had some kind of error in it, so that i couldn´t run any resolution higher than 1024x768.. I used that screen for some while, i played the game Prototype in 1024x768 resolution.

Now I finally got my will with the LG Dealer, and i got a new LG screen, a higher model. And now my resolution finally works in 1920x1080 :)

BUT!! I can´t run some of the games that I had 1024x768 resolution. I can start the prototype game, but when in on the start menu, the mouse courser leaves a trail, and the colors are completely off and I can´t see what the menu says... Therefore i can´t enter Options, so that i can change resolution of the game... :(

I´ve tried googling it, but it has been without success...

Anyone here that knows his stuff about changing resolution in a game, with out entering the game? As in the BF2142´s "+playNow 1 +menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1080" ...

I need help with this one... I´ve tried putting my resolution down on 1024x768 and then entering the game, but that didnt work either..

(EDIT: Was not a 47" TV, but a 37" :) )

You crazy fool! Use a proper PC monitor instead of a TV!

Anyhoo, the ability to change settings outside of the game depends whether the developers have built it into the game. If you can't find anything online for it, I doubt you can.

Games like Prototype probably don't have anything like that anyway because it's been ported from a console platform. All I can think of it that perhaps the TV is on a wrong display setting, or maybe you're using a VGA connection when it's highest resolution is only support through DVI.

I´m using HDMI/DVI output.

I used a Tv sceen before, when it worked.

lol forgot to read the key sentence... so forget what i wrote 5 minutes ago :woohoo:

well u are trying to set you resolution for the games with out entering the game?!


Sometimes it is possible to set the Resolutions via the configs.. and sometimes not :(

If i remember right, it is somekind of refresh rate problem... but im not sure how did i fix that, but it can be fixed.


Maybe it was this:
"First go to games shortcut then open its properties.

Then add the target line "windowed".
(no - or whatsoever,just space and windowed.)
Like this : "Crogram FilesActivisionPrototypeprototypef.exe" windowed

Start the game windowed.

Go to your game's video settings and select the resolution or aa
level you want.

Exit the game.

Right click the shortcut and select properties again.

See,there is a value called run.Make it "Maximized" and click Apply."



Or i used forced refresh rate of 60 from driver options. There is option called use desktop refresh rate on all application, or similar.
Game was trying to use 75 hertz so it didnt work for me before forced rate.


I remember i had also mouse cursor problem (was moving around when playing) and fixed some how that too... :bsod:

This is what i see now, when i run it in windowed mode...

That´s when i´m in on the menu... Actually kinda worse now, but still the same error.. i can´t see anything in the menu.. everything is dark and red.

But what´s that you saying about Forced refresh rate, could very well be something like that.

ps. it´s 37" not 47"
