Avalible resolutions when running on multiple monitors

[renskav]

When installing a second monitor the avalible resolutions update to wierd values.

 

My system is currently running at 2560x1024 and these are the avalible resolutions i get

 

512x384

640x400

640x480

800x600

1024x768

1280x480

1600x600

1696x480

1920x600

2048x768

2175x612

2304x864

2560x720

2560x768

2560x800

2560x960

2560x1024

 

There is no option to select 1280x1024, the maximum resolution allowed in trenchwars. The problem goes away when i go back to a single monitor.

 

Thanks for a great client, if you need further information dont hesitate to email me afx.swegmail.com (i dont read this forum on a regular basis)

Go to View / Advanced Options and tick/untick "Show Default Resolutions".

I think you're problem is that your video card doesn't officially support those weird resolutions so they are hidden by default. You can force Windows another resolution though, like you did with 2560x1024.

(Mind that you don't set your screen to 60 Hz because that's bad for your brain - no joking.)

Thanks for the swift reply.

 

I think you are right about windows not supporting those resolutions because if i check the show default resolutions and go to 1280x1024, it still puts me in 1024x768.

 

I verified this by having a friend at the edge of visibility, and he could see me but not the other way around.

 

I can get around this by disabling double monitors, but it feels like an annoying extra step to take.

 

But maybe this problem is with windows and not with the client.

The problem lies with the video drivers. Continuum gets the supported resolutions from them and it appears that in multi-monitor mode, that resolution simply is not supported by the video drivers or the card itself.

 

You can try newer drivers - maybe they will enable the missing resolution.
