How do I change resolution from outside the game?

[(√-1)±∞]

When I boot it says "outside of range" on my monitor, can I config this outside of the game? If so, where and how?

You can download Lstools from the official forum, and change the graficalsetting.lsx on this path : My documents/Larian Studios....but i have done it for you, so download this file and just replace it. {LINK REMOVED}https://www.mediafire.com/?82y7zry7e0a7j1q

I have set the resolution at 800x600. Be sure to check the other grafical Settings when you get in the game to suit your needs.

Thankyou!

You don't need Lstools; the graphicSettings.lsx file can be edited in any text editor (such as Wordpad), in the '..\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin' folder.
To manually change the resolution. Search for the section:

</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="ScreenHeight" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="1600" type="4" />
</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="ScreenWidth" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="2560" type="4" />
</node>



Search for 'fake' near the start of the file to set the display mode (if both FakeFullscreen and Fullscreen are set to zero, it will be in Window mode).

<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="FakeFullscreenEnabled" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="0" type="4" />
</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="FrameCapFPS" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="60" type="4" />
</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="Fullscreen" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="1" type="4" />
</node>

Hey bro, if you have this archive can you provide for me ?

[Raze_Larian]

Have what archived? The EE pak extractor[larian.com] topic still has the download link[s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com] (or the latest beta version[s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com]).


Since you quoted the manual edit instructions:
The graphicSettings.lsx file is automatically created by the game when it is first started, in the My Documents Larian Studios folder.

There are a couple replacement D:OS folders, mostly for troubleshooting startup crashes:

D:OS EE (the graphicSettings.lsx file is set to 1280x720 Windowed mode, Very Low quality preset)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ipz4q9780x35tj/DOSEE_doc_20119430.zip?dl=1

D:OS Classic (1152x648 resolution, windowed mode)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dgexy80z6axxtmq/DOSdoc10219.zip?dl=1

There is a much.. MUCH easier way to fix this problem without having to download or change anything.

Go to the folder '..\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin' as outlined by Raze above. All you have to do is rename the graphicSettings.lsx file to graphicSettings.old.lsx. When you load the game again, it forces the game to build a new graphics file and should build it at the resolution you currently have.

In my case, I cant view anything past 1600x900 so anything trying to run at 1900x1020 or whatever it is, would cause my monitor to flip out. Doing as I've stated fixed that problem. It's actually worked for a couple of other games also.
