Resolution Problem / Crashing - SOLVED

[Rafkin]

I posted this in the other thread, but figured it might get lost in there:


SOLVED (for me, and hopefully for you all.)

Jesus H #@$#

Along with all of my system specs, I also have a multi-monitor setup. Main monitor on Display Port, and second monitor on DVI. The second monitor is turned off, my nVidia settings are set to Single Monitor Performance, and though my Screen Options detected the second monitor, they were set to only use my main monitor.

On a whim I decided to just unplug my second monitor, even though it was off and not being used.

Started up M:LL, and low-and-behold, it boots up at 800x600 resolution. And, in Video Options, 800x600 value was listed as an option.

However, I couldn't change it, but the game didn't crash. I backed out to nVidia Experience app, optimized my settings at 2560x1600 resolution, restarted the game, and BAM - works perfectly.

How many of you with this problem are using multi-monitor setup?

This worked. will use until we get a proper fix.

I have 4 monitors (3 DVI and 1 HDMI), and am experiencing this problem. I'm not about to unplug 3 of my monitors just to play this game. I'm glad it was a freebie with a video card.

unplugged my second monitor and game works like a charm
Solution found. would like to see a patch to fix this though

[Dungeoncrawler69]

gonna try to see if it solves my 30fps lock issue? Thanks for sharing.

Strange im running two monitors on a gtx670 with no issues at all

Single monitor here. Game resets to 1440x480 upon restart regardless of change settings cofig files etc etc.. What a friggen mess. I was looking forward to playing this. Even the ingame menus are screwed up.

I had this problem and also had to disable one display, namely the hdmi cable that I have run to my television.

I think it might have something to do with the numbered order of the dsplays. My Sony t.v. always steals the [1] slot no matter what order I hook it up. I think this might be screwing with some in game resolution detection.

My main display is a 32 inch 720p tv that I'm running at 1360x768 and I'm still having issues here even tried setting it in my config file but no luck perhaps forcing it with NVIDA something or another would work?

i do not have a multi monitor setup but am using HDMI through my tv

That seems to be what's going on in the huge crashing thread. Multimonitor or not, there is always a TV involved, and it's always on HDMI. ...and largely windows 7 with 5xx and 6xx cards.

Though at the same time some people with seemingly the same configs aren't having trouble.

yup came to the same conclusion HDMI is the issue here. i just hope the devs can fix it

[Jackel2072]

just plugged my tv in via VGA and i was able to see the resolution at 800x600 however could not change it and plugging my hdmi back in only made the resolution disappear again

I don't know how it could specifically be an HDMI issue, unless it involves the HDCP status of the overall system. In my opinion, if you can watch Blu-ray (which in my case I can) there should be no issue with HDMI, considering its only carrying information and isn't actually decoding anything.

I'm running 1920x1080 for my TV/monitor, but M:LL is forcing 1440x900 with no other options. Seems to me that everyone with resolution problems are having issues with varying resolutions being forced. Not all the same.

Could it be specifically due to the way each TV recieves the information, thus causing the varying resolutions? 800x600 is standard for VGA if I'm not mistaken. But mine is 1440x900, and HeavyHemi is at 1440x480... I would assume both are 1080p capable, but different reciever hardware may be the cause for difference on display.

As I said, HDMI only carries information, no translation involved. Just my thoughts on it.

I've seen both 1440x900 and 1440x480 on mine.
The later not usually manifesting until I try alt tabbing.

Not always. I reported the solution and I don't use a TV or HDMI. My multi-monitor setup involved one monitor through DisplayPort and the other through DVI.
