cant change the resolution
seems that there is literally no 1080p option for he game. i think its automatically stuck on 720p. if your a pc gamer you should know what that is and its bad. there is high settings before the game starts but it does not change the resolution. which is different from graphics. resolution tells how sharp everything looks. with a 1080p monitor 720p looks blurry

I looked into the registry keys that the game uses for resolution options, and customizing it doesn't seem likely; the values appear to correspond to the on-start menu selections.

Also no windowed mode sucks.

I looked through the file settings and couldn't find a config file to adjust. If someone figure this out please let me know. thanks

I don't Believe this game is even 720p, as it doesn't support widescreen. It is probably 1024*768 as the max resolution. It appears that the game launcher passes arguments to the actual game executable, for the graphic settings. As the only files I found configurable was in AppData\Roaming\Disney Interactive Studios\Disney Bolt. Where you can find the controller bindings and the saved game data. It's a shame really cause it is a pretty good game.

Perhaps the devs could release an updated launcher, though I highly doubt that would ever happen. Or Perhaps someone with some techincal know how could modify the launcher, or create a custom one. To support a higher resolution.

Also For anyone wanting to stretch the game to fit your screen, try running the game through TriDef Ignition 3D, not for the 3D of course, although If you want 3D, and have a good GPU by all means go ahead, just make sure to turn off Power 3D. This will force the game to stretch and fit the screen, some things looked a little stretched, but I quite like it like this way anyway.

Inspecting the exe command args via process explorer or task manager, it looks like the launcher just always passes the mysterious argument "tA1oi4Cgzjb41h^OvWCLeu96cO%v]1]f%MtcjWiI5keyrw;MVh@0C0yEhr0$]L=."
regardless of which of the three resolution options is chosen.

Yes I have encountered this, However I have not been able to pass that argument in via cmd.

To Everyone, who wants to play this game in Native 1080p, Rejoice! for I have found a viable solution!

Go to this site and download dxoveride http://www.humus.name/index.php?page=Cool.
It is a very small zip file. It consist of a d93d.dll hook, that is user customizable to support custom AA and Resolutions. Just go ahead and read the readme file in the zip that you downloaded and follow the instructions for more details.

Though basically what you do, is you copy the .dll and the .ini files to the games install directory. Once you've done that you can cusomize the .ini to your liking by changing the width and height. Then save the .ini file, and then run the game's launcher, make sure all the settings for the graphics options are set to high, as it does seem to affect some lighting effects if turned down. If all went according to plan the game will play in widescreen at 1920*1080, or whatever resolution you set the .ini at!

That's it! Enjoy!! Hope I helped out, cause now I can truly enjoy this great game in 1080p! Also I assume this method would work for other games of similar nature where the resolution is locked down, as it is said in the readme file as well.

Thanks for trying but this didn't work for me on Windows 7. I changed the .ini file to set to 1920x1080, but the result is that the game crashes at launch - the options screen never appears.

It's frustrating because I know this game was designed to run in widescreen on the Xbox 360, so playing in 4:3 is pretty terrible.

Hmmm, Could you explain what happens?

Also This trick gets the game in widescreen by 1920*1080, though the in game resolution is still 1024*768. After Playing the game I figured that all this .dll did was just upscale the game, and in turn make the game and HUD widescreen which is a plus.

If you use an Nvidia Card that is powerful enough you can apply custom settings in the Nvidia control panel for the game to make it look much nicer, I should Probably post some screenshots to show that you can indeed get the game to look pretty nice.

I've had no issues running it on Windows 10 with the customisable D93D dll hook, Perhaps try running it with some compatibility settings?

I'll upload some gameplay here soon. If the game crashes try running the Direct X setup files found in the games installation folder, that might help.

Here is some gameplay showcasing the widescreen hack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ozLNkwaIyw Enjoy!!

The game never launches. I can see the game executable briefly show up in the task manager when I run it, then it disappears and Steam shows the game as no longer running. The whole process lasts about 2 seconds. There is no screen or error message that appears. If I remove the patch from the installation directory, the game runs fine again.

Did you try running the Direct X setup files included in the games installation folder, or any compatibility settings. Other than that I guess I don't know, I do know that the .dll had issues for me when trying to run it higher than 1920*1080, perhaps try doing 1280*720 instead. Perhaps that may work.

Really sorry this isn't working for you... :(
