Monitor out of range (solved)

[UberNyuber]

Hi,

when I try to launch CIV V, the only thing i can see is the Firaxis and Steam Workshop Intro, after that my monitor shows me the error "Monitor out of Range".

I already tried to fix this in the startup properties, but that didn´t work. (-w 1280 -h 960 -refresh 60)

I couldn´t locate the .ini file in my steam apps/civ folder to try it that way...

Can anybody help please? ^^

Does no one knows a solution to this?

Edit: O.k. found myself a solution. If anyone has the same problem, here´s how i solved it:

1) Type into the windows search bar: civ
2) Open the "Sid Meier´s Civilization 5" folder.
3) Open the "GraphicsSettingsDX11"
4) Scroll down until you find under [User Settings], Full Screen = 1. Change it into Full Screen = 0.
5) Start the game and change your graphics ingame now and don´t forget to checkbox the full screen option again.
6) Restart game.

My problem was, because the default setting was 170 Hz (~.~), so i was never able to change it ingame, that´s why i was always out of range. (normally 60 Hz for my monitor)

Dude thank you so much! I also tried to change the startup properties but had no luck. I will try and get this out there so people can get their game working! Thanks again :)

I just wanna say thanks. A 3 year old post helped. Question is why is this still a problem.

firaxis developers are total hacks these days. 170hz default? lol

Thanks for the fix btw.
