Monitor "out of range" [FIXED]

[Robespiègle]

When I launch the game I am stuck at the menu (I can hear the music) with a back screen and the caption "out of range".

My graphic card driver is up to date, so is directX.
I tried launching the game using the "-safe" option, the "-autoconfig" one and even the "w- 720". I keep getting the same result.

Please help, I am very excited about this game but have very little time to play it, I want to make the best out of it.

What kind of monitor do you have? Does it only occur while trying to play Conarium? The "out of range" issue seems to primarily happen when a program is trying to run at a higher refresh rate than the monitor can handle (i.e. 75hz when your monitor can only do 60hz). I wonder if that's the case here...

Ah, it very well may be, my monitor is rather old, about ten years old. I am going to try to force start the game with a 60hz refresh rate then.
EDIT : doesn't work either.
Tried with "-refresh 60", then "-refresh 50" even combining "-refresh 60 -w 720" do not help.

So, I changed the settings directly in the user game settings ini file and it didn't fix the problem.
When I used the "-windowed" launch setting, it only put the game 'sponsors' moment on windowed display then switched back to full screen for the menu, which of course caused the out of range issue.

EDIT² : HOW TO FIX OUT OF RANGE ISSUE WITH THIS GAME :
the launching options only work for the 'sponsors' for some reason, they do not apply for the rest of the game. Just do ALT+ENTER when the "out of range" thing happens, and if you did everything right to this point IT SHOULD display the game screen, the game lighting setting first, then the menu where you can select options and now choose the propper game resolution.

Glad you got it fixed--also, thanks for including how you got it fixed, so other people can see if it helps their problem!

I have the same problem on hot pursuit except "alt enter" doesn't work there.....
