change video settings outside of game?

[<FROST>]

I just installed the game, but I guess steam saved the settings from my old comp, anyways monitor can't display it's current config and was wondering where is the file I change this. (the game runs, I can hear it)

[Ragenarok]

Bump. Similar problem. The game was working. I changed the resolution now I only get a black screen. I can hear it running.
Uninstalling does not resolve the problem

I've resolved my issue. And considering it sounds identical to your problem, I will post solution here.
Although this solution won't "break your game' I feel I should leave a disclaimer.
Please note I'm not affiliated with Team Meat (Unfortunatley T_T) And so this solution is unoffical and not officially reccomended by Team Meat

1) Go to your steam directory (Mine is looks like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Super Meat Boy )
2) Right click on the SuperMeatBoy application
3) go to properties. In the properties box that opens up, navigate to the compatibility tab.
4) From here under the 'settings' group there are several tick box options. tick the box that reads Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution.

This should get your game working. So you can navigate to the in game properties and choose your desired resolution. Don't forget to untick that box once you've chosen your desired resolution from the in game menus. If problem persists - keep ticking that box. Though I think every monitor can play in a resolution greater than 640 x 480


Please post back and let me know if this helped. As I have gone out of my way to post a solution for you.

Cheers, Ragenarok

Thanks so much man!

This works for all games, but if the game you messed up runs off Valve (Source Engine), use:

Thanks for the guide to the problem Ragenarok. I was about to ask for a refund.

I cannot tick that setting for some reason?

Is it perhaps set as a read only file? Could trhere be some sort of administrative permission getting in the way?
