Higher resolution?!

[GoddyLP]

Hi...i need to play the game in 3840x2160 (window mode) because i need to get access to the 2nd monitor (OBS and so on)....is there an option to switch to the higher resolution ?

You can edit the graphics configuration file:

1. Open 'Windows Explorer' or 'File Explorer' from the taskbar.
2. Open the 'Local Disk (C:)' under 'Computer' or 'This PC'.
3. Open the folder 'Users' then the Windows user name.
4. Open the folder 'AppData' (*) then the folder 'Roaming'.
5. Open the folder 'Pro Cycling Manager 2017' then the folder 'Config'.
6. Right click on the file 'Options' (Options.xml) and click 'Edit'.

A. Set the display mode in windowed or in fullscreen:

<Option_HW_FullScreen>0</Option_HW_FullScreen> => Windowed Mode
<Option_HW_FullScreen>1</Option_HW_FullScreen> => Fullscreen Mode

B. Set the display resolution (1920x1080 for example):

<Option_HW_ResolutionWidth>1920</Option_HW_ResolutionWidth>
<Option_HW_ResolutionHeight>1080</Option_HW_ResolutionHeight>

C. Turn on or off the hardware cursor (mouse):

<Option_Graph_CursorHardware>0</Option_Graph_CursorHardware> => Off
<Option_Graph_CursorHardware>1</Option_Graph_CursorHardware> => On

(*) The 'AppData' folder is an hidden folder by default, to view this folder:

WINDOWS 7
- Open 'Windows Explorer' from the taskbar.
- Click 'Organize' then 'Folder and search options'.
- Click the tab 'View' and check 'Show hidden files, folders and drives' under 'Hidden files and folders' from 'Advanced Settings'.
- Click the button 'OK'.

WINDOWS 8/WINDOWS 10
- Open 'File Explorer' from the taskbar.
- Click the tab 'View' and check 'Hidden items'.
