1080p Resolution Fix

[Kepos]

Found this fix on the net:

- find 'hardware_settings_restrictions.xml' in your steam library, open it (with notpad++ probably)
- find line

Originally posted by code:

<data>
<res mem="270" maxWidth="1280" />
</data>

- then simply change #mem to whatever your graphic card offers
- change #maxWidth to highest resolution width your card allows
(for me it was mem="4069" and maxWidth="1920")
- save file
- restart game

Now you should be able to choose higher resolution.

You don't have to change the numbers, just delete the section and you're good to go.
Fix was already here at these forums.

Or simply delete that section entirely. :) It was intended to be a limiter to not allow a card with low memory to go to higher resolutions which require more memory. However, the newer GPUs in use today are not being detected correctly by the game engine and thus you may be un-necessarily limited by this bit of code.

Thanks for help, this help me a lot to get the correct resolution.

Years later, but still very useful !
Thank you very much.
