Problem with resolution

[Hur]

I can not launch the game because the game is set on a bigger resolution than my screen. Any ideas on how to fix this?
PD: I don't find the config file and steam comands seem to not be working.

Same here. I set launch options to "-full -w 1920 -h 1080" and that didn't change anything. I was running at 4k and lowred my resolution to 1080 and got nothing either way. I just get a message that the resolution is not compaitble with my display... is it pushing a PAL signal or something? Noticed it might be Japanese indie?

You may have to edit your config file separately before launching the game. It can be found here: [SteamDir]\userdata\[SteamID]\250700\local\config.txt
I would try to run the game in a small windowed resolution and then edit through the in-game settings. Please let us know if that works

Thanks! I found the file and I was able to run the game wothout any problem. Congratulations for the game It has a very special mood.

Thanks Chris @fiddler6,

I was watching the Double Fine Adventure series and you were being interviewed just as I opened your comment... crazy! Also, I just want to say that I paid full price several years ago for both the game and Soundtrack on iOS. Thanks for offering the sale, hopefully you guys are still pulling in funds from this regularly.

Anyway, thanks for the help. It didn't fully work so for future players you may try this:

Navigate to [SteamDir]\userdata\[SteamID] and then search for "config.txt" and change the resolution there. Not sure how to tell if you have the right file but I only got one result and I have over 200 games installed.

Here is what mine looked like:

DOUBLECLICK_DELAY = 500
EDGE_OF_SCREEN_BORDER = 20
ENABLE_MIPMAPPING = true
ENABLE_VSYNC = true
FULLSCREEN = true
SCREEN_HEIGHT = 3055
SCREEN_WIDTH = 5793
SOUND_MAXCHANNELS = 100
VOLUME_MUSIC = 100
VOLUME_SFX = 100


Since I know my monitor didn't support that resolution I felt comfortable making the change. It apears to have pulled the highest possible setting from Nvidia's DSR (Dynamic Sacaling Resolution) options.

**Also note that when I changed the resolution to 1920 x 1080 and launched, I was presented with a centered "window" that treated the mouse as if it were locked in a full screen program in the upper left quadrant of my monitor which is still set to 3840 x 2160.

I was able to change the resolution in the game menu but not able to navigate to the "apply" button with my mouse and it treated the center of my screen as if it were the end of the full screen window which was actually the dead center of the game display "window." All that was needed was to input my monitor resolution into the config file and we are golden.

Hope that helps anyone out there... wear headphones and crank it up in a dark room.

That's actually Kris Piotrowski, but it's still cool that you saw him just as we were offering help!

Very cool.

As a side note, I happened to notice that the original Quake (steam version) is installed on my machine and after some time I noticed that the config file I changed that fixed Sword and Sworcery was actually the Quake config file.

Maybe something to look into? Not sure.

Thanks again,

Alright it works!

Update: The game launched now! Through trial and error I determined that the config.txt file was the issue!
I changed my monitor to 1920x1080 and the game while trying to adjust to it constantly failed to launch.

Manually I changed the resolution to the monitor I have realistically and now it launches without any problems!

The config.txt and log.txt were not just in Steam\userdata\110979439\204060\local

That doesn't work for me.

The path to these files is this: D:\Steam\userdata\70040097\204060\local for my PC.

This game was recently made free on the Epic Games platform, is there any way to change the resolution there? I also cannot seem to find the config file.

Find the config file in %APPDATA%\capy\SwordAndSworcery\

I updated mine for
FULLSCREEN = false
SCREEN_HEIGHT = 1080
SCREEN_WIDTH = 1920

Started the game in windowed mode. Once started you can click the little notebook icon on the left side of the windowed screen above the X. This will give you access to settings. You can then set it back to full screen and click through the available resolutions.

I'm having the same problem. Sad how the developers don't want people to have a good experience with their game by fixing this bug... it's literally been over 4 years since they admitted there is a problem and haven't patched it.

I did not find the file you are speaking of. Could you offer any further assistance?
There is also this text doc that says path not found. i tried to go to the dirrectory it was looking for but there wasnt such.

Its under C:\Users\(Your UserNAme)\AppData\Roaming\capy\SwordAndSworcery

EDIT: Under that folder open config.txt folder and change the settings.

%appdata% is a variable for the appdata folder in your user profile. Every user profile has this folder and it will differ in location depending on your operating system. What DeadManLoke has is the path for a Windows 10 machine. This folder is hidden by default so you will have to enable view of hidden files and folders to see it. Hope that helps.

Thank you everybody! I was having the same issue- had to set mine to 1280x720
