"Input signal out of range" from monitor
I don't know if this is the best place to put this, but when I start the game in fullscreen, my monitor gives me a message that says "Input signal out of range, please change resolution to 1920x1080p" or something like that, that is despite that being what the resolution is set to. This is not the only game this happens in, but it's the most recent (it also hapens in Darksouls 2 and Civ Beyond Earth). I've looked up info on this, but all sources I can find are people getting this error on their non-native resolution or are unhelpful. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?

I would just run it windowed, but it appears that my game gets locked to 30fps in windowed mode for some reason.

If you have an Nvidia card try making sure DSR is switched off in the control panel. Also make sure your refresh rate is reading correctly

I guess this info probably would have helped:
I'm on a laptop with a 970m and a built in Intel gpu. The game is correctly running on the Nvidia GPU, but I can't change any monitor display settings from the Nvidia control pannel. All changes I make outside of lowering the resolution in the Intel control pannel, Windows Display settings, or in game don't seem to help in any meaningful way. Lowering the resolution is the only setting that seems to change anything. The monitor I am trying to run this on is an Asus MX279H and not my laptop's built in screen (which it seems to work fine on)

-UPDATE- If i have my monitors set to "Clone" rather than "extend", it works perfectly fine. It's annoying, but it's the only solution I can find that actually works.

I have the same exact monitor that's connected to a laptop with 850m GPU. Same exact problem, but with Dark Souls II SOTFS... Have you by any chance found a different solution to this than cloning the display?

I'm Using a 970 and the EXACT same monitor. I'm getting this issue. I am only using one monitor however.

I'm a bit late, but just noticed the response now. I actually tried playing again on that monitor a few weeks ago and had the same issue again and forgot the cloning fix. The only fix I found that worked (other than cloning, which again, I forgot about) was lowering the resolution to 1600x900. It's not ideal, but it fixed the issue and isn't that noticeable since it's at least the right aspect ratio. I can't help much more than that since I don't currently have access to that monitor.
