Can't change resolution in game. Please help. CS 1.6

[chi]

I set the resolution wrong and now i cant get back to options. The window doesn't fit in the monitor. The bottom is cut off and i can't pull it up to get to options to change it back. Re-installing doesn't work. Thanks!

The setting is stored in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\_number_\730\local\cfg
video.txt

or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Half-Life\Settings

730 is CSGO's app id.

Video Mode Launch Options

- Use the -w # switch (where " # " is a number from the list below) to specify the display resolution:

640 (640x480) GoldSource Only
720 (720x576)
800 (800x600)
1024 (1024x768) - This mode offers the best performance for most cards
1152 (1152x864)
1280 (1280x1024) - This mode is optimal for high-end cards
1600 (1600x1200) - This mode requires a high-end monitor and a high-performance card

Launch Option Example: -w 1024

Should the above fail, try to:

Delete Half-Life Registry Key
1) Open regedit.exe and create a backup (export) of your registry
2) Delete The Registry Key: Half-Life
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ VALVE \ HALF-LIFE
3) Reboot your computer

Just press "O" on your keyboard and it should show you the options menu.

These launch options are not universal and applies to Valve games only.

Game launch options can be used to change game settings before running the game

Launch options allow the user to supercede internal settings of the game. This is an effective means to recover from incompatible video settings and well as troubleshooting a wide range of issues.
