(RESOLVED)How to change and save resolution?

[Red™]

It seems that my game can’t seems to change and save it to the max setting I wish for the game to run. Does anyone have this problem whilst getting this game?

Hope this helps :)

That doesn’t work. Is there an issue in the file?

Are you saying that you can't change the resolution at all in the game settings, or that the changes that you make aren't saved? You mentioned both ("change" and "save"), so I'm not sure which one you're having a problem with.

If you can't change the resolution, and you're using a keyboard, it is a little "tricky". Obvious keys like Space and Enter don't do anything. When the resolution is selected, you can press "a" to cycle through the resolution options, or use the left and right arrow keys.

If you can change the resolution, but it isn't saved, I don't know what would cause that. The only thing that I can think of would be some kind of permission issue that isn't letting the game save the settings, but that seems unlikely. FYI, the game settings and your saved game files are stored with your user "application data". Under Windows 10, the path is:

C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO Batman

The settings are in a plain text file named pcconfig.txt . If you can't use the game's menus to change the resolution, you could edit pcconfig.txt directly. Make a backup copy of the file first, just in case there is a problem with the edited file.

FWIW, you might want to make periodic backups of your save files (there is a "Saved Games" folder in the folder that I mentioned above). I don't think that this game uses the Steam cloud.

Also, while I'm here, I'll just add that you might want to make sure that Vertical Sync is turned on in the Video settings. Some people have had problems with some things in this game when VSync was off.

Well it won’t save

Do you have the folder that I mentioned? If so, is there a pcconfig.txt file?

If you have pcconfig.txt, you could start by trying to open and then save the file. If you can save the file, and you're using the same Windows account that you use when you're playing the game, then the game should presumably be able to update the file.

Do I have to open the config or launch option before game?

[Waste_of_skin]

I'm not sure what you mean. I don't know of any "launch" option, and the only "config" options (as in, a menu) are in the game.

If you're talking about the pcconfig.txt file, the game should create it. If you don't have a pcconfig.txt file, that may point to a permission problem (the game isn't being allowed to create the file).

[Red™]

Ah. Where do I locate that

[Waste_of_skin]

In the folder that I mentioned earlier.

I was having the same issue where I couldn't change it but I hooked up a controller. When I changed my resolution I clicked pause button on the controller
