download ur graphics driver

[Zikan]

i have the last version (GEFORCE 540M 388.71).

Was that update the Fall Creator's update? If yes, disable resolution scaling in the nVidia control panel. Then try again.

i don't understand.

[Cathulhu]

What exactly do you not understand?

[Zikan]

how can i disable resolution in the nvidia? My geforce experience doesn't work.

Because you need to reinstall your driver. Always uninstall graphics drivers before the big seasonal updates and reinstall afterwards.

i removed old driver, instaled new, but the problem is the same.

As in Nvidia Experience not working issue, or the can't find the resolution issue?

[Zikan]

experience not working and i don't know what caused this problem. Why WORLD OD GUNS DISASSEMBLY (steam) works but the others not? Why the problem is in steam only? I have other games (out of steam, for example SILENT HUNTER (uplay), BATTLEFIELS (origin)). Theese games don't have any problem.

worked for me, thxs guys.. for those looking for this, Nvidia control panel/display/adjust desktop size and position set to no scaling

I can't set no scaling.

This helped, but thought I'd add a few things:
1. After I changed to no scaling it worked (reverting to the orignal setting also worked).
2. My issue came after updating to the latest driver.

Finally for those not sure where this is at
1. Open Nvidia Control Panel
2. Under Display click on "Adjust Destkop Size And Postion"
3. Look right and there's your scaling.
