The game wont change screen resolution.

[RosesFullBloom]

I can change the game to my screen resoltion via the options before i start the game, however after starting the game it stays at default and even lists itself at default in options. Any way to change this?

Go to:

C:\Steam\steamapps\common\ghost master\GhostData

and open spdrv.cfg with notedpad

This is basically a table. You will see some columns that say Maxw and MaxH. Change all the entries under MaxW to your native or custom width (1920 for me) and change all the MaxH for your native or custom Height (1080 for me).

Save and close the file.

Open the game and move the resolution slider in graphics options all the way to the right, your resolution probably wont be displayed yet.. Press ok. Restart the game and go back to graphic options. If you move the slider to the right again it should hopefully come up with your custom resolution.

It worked for me.

I followed these instructions (same as on their wiki) but it would never take my custom resolution. I also noticed that it would constantly reset my graphic options back to defaults after I set them.

The trick that worked for me is to set your spdrv.cfg as you want it in the MaxH and MaxW columns. Start the game and keep your resolution on default (1024x768) but set all your graphic options to high (or whatever you want) and the ACTUALLY start the game (as in actual gameplay). It will be at the default resolution but it will actually save your graphic settings. I then exited out of the game and checked my spdrv.cfg file and it remained how I had edited it. I then relaunched the game and it finally took the resolution that is set in the spdrv.cfg file. It also retained all of my graphic settings.

Again, this sounds alot like the instructions above but it is important to actually start the game for it to save the settings. Probably had this problem because I was attempting to fix the widescreen resolution problem before I even played any gameplay.

I just changed the spdrv.cfg, started the game, and it worked.

I can't change my resolution either... Changed it in the cfg file, it's still stuck at default.

Same for the graphic settings, they just won't change.

My resolution wouldn't change either but I had forgotten to change the min values too from 640 and 480 to 1920 and 1080 once I changed both Min and Max values the game offered my and played in my resolution.

Good luck

This is how I configured it to get it to work: http://image.bayimg.com/e89d917834fa376e93d04f51bef5fcb171888423.jpg

I changed fontsize in notepad to 7 to get all the columns on one row, that made it easier. Then I put 0 on everything that wasn't under "Dodgy AGP Configuration Workaround", and then put 0 on everything that wasn't the highest option available, and entered my resolution under the max and min value columns.

Now it says 1920x1080 in resolution in the game menu and the Steam overlay is in 1920x1080 resolution, so I guess it works. Still looks like ♥♥♥♥ though!
