Resolution won't go above 1280x720 (DEMO)

[General_Zilla]

This is really frustrating and making me question getting the game for PC, which sucks because I don't want the game for PS3. Running in any sort of compatibilty doesn't work. I'm letter boxed and pillar boxed on my 1920x1080 screen, any solutions, or anyone think it's just a bad demo in this context? Other than that I loved the demo. The res on my desk top is 1920x1080 and I have no issues running anyother game at that resolution.

And just to dismay further red herrings, every other game on my steam library that's currently installed has no problem running at 1920x1080. I'm seeing people with similar problems fixing it by increasing their desktop resolution, but I don't see how that works with my res set to the highest it can possibly go. This has to be an issue on the games end. It's not detecting my display for what ever reason. I even went into the games file and manually set the resolution and instead of going to that resolution it defaulted to the lowest resolition available. like 640x480 or some crap like that. I need help or at least some assurance this wont be prevalent in the full release, or else I guess I'll be getting this game for PS3.

Edit this file:

C:\Users\<YOUR-PROFILENAME>\Documents\MercurySteam\Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 (DEMO)\<RANDOM-NUMBER>\game.cfg

Change the resolution in this section:
...
VideoWidth = 1920 ### Fullscreen width
VideoHeight = 1080 ### Fullscreen height
...

Save the file.
Retry.

Have fun!

By the way: The game runs at 1920x1080 on my system (nVidia).

I've tried this, I beleive you put this in another thread as well. All it did was make my resolution go to 640 by 480 or some terrible resolution like that.

No, I put it only in your thread. :-)

This the game.cfg from my system (where 1920x1080 is working). I did not have to edit it. These values were set by the game itself.
What have been the X and Y values for your game.cfg before you changed it?
Did they stay at 1920 and 1080 AFTER you have started it and it looked like crap?

Another tip: if you have multiple display connectors on your video card. Take the one which is described as DISPLAY PORT 1.
Disable all other display ports. Go to your windows resolutions settings, check if ONLY display 1 is active and your primary output for your desktop.
If you have a second cable (e.g. HDMI, DVI, VGA) put it in you video card then pull it out.
Be sure that your game.cfg is correct (maybe you could write-protect it) and then start over again.
If you are IN the game, press ESC, then video settings, then advanced, and at the first setting press RIGHT on you keyboard. You should go up to the maximum video card resolution setting.

If this does not help. Hmmm... the PS3 version will be not as shiny and will only run with roughly 30fps. So I would not recommend it. The same has been with LoS1. The PC version is much better, although I played through the PS3 version :-)

what's your desktop res? The game won't go above it.

My resolution is 1920x1080.

no problems here playing in 1080p, are you really sure you applied with "yes" after changing your resolution?

The game doesn't even give me the option to go above 1280x720

The solution of simply increasing the desktop res isn't applicable to me. My desktop resolution is maxed. This has to be on the games end.

This is shouldn't be happening. If a game has a problem with my maching its the games fault. My rig is great.

Sorry but that's crap. Obviously something is reporting to the game correctly.

I have no problems reaching resolutions up to and beyond 3200x1800 and my monitor is only a 1600x900 monitor

I tried this, and it made the game stretch to fit the screen but the display in the menu had again defaulted to the lowest supported resolution making the game look awful. I've tried everything. Hell I even uninstalled reseated and reinstalled my card but to no avail. I've put way more effort into trying to make this game work than I should. The only thing that would get me to buy is if I knew for sure the full game wouldn't do this. Something is amiss. LoS1 along with my entire library has no problem displaying at 1080p.

Forgive me if I'm misreading this but are you saying that what I'm saying is crap?
If so why would I make this up?

1600x900 for me.

[Trikky]

Is the ratio in 16:10 or 16:9? I know that can make a difference. I can't remember if that is an option to change since I uninstalled the demo after playing it. Just throwing out ideas.

[ToonRage]

Heres to hoping they fix this with a day 1 patch at least

[command667]

Try manually setting the resolution in AMD control-panel.

[command667]

I mean setting the maximum resolution that your tv can handle.
Set that manually in AMD control center

[DracTactics]

Played the demo at 2048x1152 just by changing it in the in-game menu, and saw many choices of resolutions below that.

[acuraice]

i played the demo at 260 x 1440 on my 27 inch imac on best settings ran perfectly as the first game did

Thanks a lot! This solved my issue of not being able to select 1920x1080 in the options menu without it crashing to desktop. I can also alt+tab now.
