FIX TO: "Cannot open display mode"

[brother mfc-j1010dw]

I just redownloaded this game and forgot about the "cannot open display mode" problem. There's a simple solution to this. Don't worry if you cannot re open the settings thing when you first launch the game, i'll get to that later.

1)Go into your computer settings and find out what your resolution is. For example, mine is 1366x78. I went into my settings and display options and then went into advanced display options to find this.

2)If you haven't launched Flatout2 yet and the window that lets you edit things is still there, change the resolution from 562x32 or whatever it is since I can't recall it to what your computer said your resolution is.(EX: I changed it from 562x36 to 1366x78x32.)

3)If you've already opened up Flatout2 and are not able to re open that window that opens before it launches then follow this step. Go into your steam library and right click on Flatout2. Click "properties" and click on set launch options. Type "setup" (without the "). (EX: setup). Hit enter after that and re launch Flatout2, it should open the window where it shows all the options again.

4)Set the resolution from whatever it started with to whatever your computer said your resolution is. (EX: I changed mine from 562x36 or whatever it started with to 1366x78x32)

5) Go back into your steam library and right click Flatout2 and click on properties. Click on the set launch options button. Once there the word "setup" should still be in the box.(without the ") Delete that word and make sure nothing is in the box when you close it.

6) Re launch Flatout2 and it should take you straight to the game.

NOTE: if it does not work after step 6 then you should redo steps 3-6. There are multiple resolution states that are different with the ending. (EX: I at first tried 1366x78x16 but that didn't work. I redid steps 3-6 and instead of keeping it at 1366x78x16 I changed it to 1366x78x32. Notice the last number was different(32 instead of 16)

IF YOU CANNOT FIND YOUR RESOLUTION:Repeat steps 3-6 but try random resolutions when in the window that lets you choose it. I recommend trying the highest resolutions and down if you have a fairly new computer.

I hope this helped and if you encounter some difficulties post a comment and I may be able to help.
