Resolution 1920x1080 problem [FIXED]

[BioMeX]

FIXED

[Mortungus]

I'm having exactly the same problem - tried everything I can think of. Updated drivers, tried running as admin/compatability, the works.

Is there a way to start the game windowed? At least then you can usually get to the menu to change things....

Anyone?

When I turn on the game and put it in "Windowed" mode so it runs just once you load the game that it to "fullscreen". Maybe bad monitor :/

Nope I have the same issue and it's not my monitor or gpu. It only like this for one game and if it's only one game if you have good hardware to run it it should be good.

My Pc is good.... processor AMD A-10 7800 8 GB RAM and Shi* GeForce GTX 745

Weird I have a AMD FX 8320, 8gb ram dual channel, MSI Gaming Twin Frozr GTX 750Ti OC 2gb and don't have that issue only issue I have it starts with black screen and it goes into background and pops up with the video. But that was when I first got it and now no more of that issue. Did you set up nvidia control panel? PS I heard APU's are not that good no offence.

I tried a lot of things have not helped support me while

Try to set it up and see if it helps. Sometimes you have to do that for some games. New and old ones.

But maybe it really bad monitor are not running a resolution of 1920x1080.
I had problems with multiple games, but fortunately, are supported for NVIDIA

Are you using DSR?

What is DSR ?

It's a nvidia feature that makes your montior run higher then it should. Lets say you have a 1280x720 and using DSR will make it run in 1920x1080 or higher.

Heres some more info.

DSR isn't just for 4K.

After all, this is not the GeForce Experience? for this program is not supported game Alien: Isolation

That is true.

Though, be sure to reset your update your graphics drivers to the latest, be sure they are official only and not beta drivers, though Nvidia made a mistake with a Beta patch recently..

And be sure when doing a graphics card driver update, that you choose custom and then a clean install.

After that, make sure your Geforce Experience game profile settings are reset.

In the Nvidia Control Panel and for the Geforce Experience, you don't have to try and reinstall if you've got the latest drivers.. but you should do a custom and then full clean install anyways, but be sure to reset both the Nvidia Control Panel by going into it to do so, also set it to "let the 3d application decide", and reset the Geforce Experience, don't forget to choose what options for updates.

When this is done, go to your game in the Steam games library, right click on Alien: Isolation, and choose properties, find the launcher command box to type in, and type in -benchmark, this should launch the built in game benchmark, test the game with this, let it run if you see something or not, and let it end, then find the benchmark results probably in your documents folder in windows, and so search for the game under your documents folder, open the log files that the benchmark had tested to examine results.

And you might try -window or -windowed mode to see if these work for the game.

There is a trick that is a bug for the game, because of Steam or the game itself..
If you shrink Steam right after you click to launch this game, timing it fast enough will cause the game to shrink before it launches, just click on it in the taskbar, and you are forced to wait for it to go into fullscreen at the main menu.

I might try some broadcasts, because I have a slow connection from where I live.. I might have to lower the settings some more and do more broadcast testing..

Though my PC is extreme and I get 200 - 350 frames per second with vsync off and no vertical screen tearing, but I have to make the broadcasting lower in quality and bitrate for others to see it, Steam though hasn't been updated to work with dsl 1.5 meg..
I'm sure the 1.5 and lowest bitrate at 750, is the download speed and not the bandwidth.. which would be well above my download speed.. Blame Valve for that.
Which means that it makes it hard for me to broadcast on silky smooth fast turning graphics maxed out in my games on 144 Hz monitor and fast scene loading.

I hope you took into consideration, the monitor I recommended and graphics card for the price.

Talk to me more in the broadcast.. if I am on and not coding one of my projects.
Yes I like to code Alien 3 Sega Genesis a.i., and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night a.i. monsters, in 2D side scrolling platformers, from the ground up in code.

If the game has a setting, maybe a mob, you might be able to lower the resolution down to 1920 x 1080.. but try all the other methods I mentioned first.
There is also something you can do in Geforce Experience if Alien: Isolation is found in it, try to set it down to 1920 x 1080.
If the game isn't showing up in Geforce Experience, set it to find the game, might need admin rights.
And be sure your Nvidia Control Panel is reset to defaults, with "let the 3D application decide" set as well.

Also, when you can hear the opening logo sound effects, you can tell when it gets to the main menu.. just hold alt and press enter to switch to window mode, and back.

And last, have you right clicked on the game in the Steam game's library, and click properties, local files - verify integrity of game cache?

If you have less than Windows 10, such as Windows XP, Windows 7 or 8/8.1, download the dxwebsetup and other things from my guide here.

There are also some other helpful things about Windows 10 near the bottom of the guide.
And some other things in the guide near the top, such as dxdiag to know about.

I had this problem too. I have just fixed it. I used Alt + Enter to switch it to windowed mode, and then went into the options menu. I discovered that there's a different resolution for windowed, full screen window, and full screen mode. The full screen one was way too big for my monitor. I set them all to 1920 x 1200 and it's fine now.

Excelent! Did the job! Thank you!
