Cannot change display resolution in Far Cry 4

[Titty Sprinkles]

Hello. I just bought Far Cry 4 from steam. Playing the game i got 16 FPS with my NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 on 1080 res. I therefore changed it to 720p. To improve my framrate a bit, i installed the newest driver for my card. It changed nothing concerning the FPS, but now i only have the option for 1080p in game, and i cannot change it down to 720 as i did before i downloaded the new driver.
I contacted NVIDIA live support and they could not troubleshoot this problem. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers but non of it works. When I un installed the drivers the 720p option game back, but when I was in the came,but it went very blurry for most of the time. Please help

As far as the driver issues, I recommend we don't tackle that yet.

Firstly, I think we need to ask the question - what are your system specs? Are SURE they meet requirements?

Intel i5-3350p CPU 3.10 GHz

NVIDIA GeForce GT 640

8 GB RAM

Windows 8 64-bit

-------------------------------------

I am aware of a warning on my GeForce Experience program that says, that the system requirements are not met. However.. When i played on 720p it was very playable. That is why i wanna change it back, but for some reason after i installed the drivers i cannot do that anymore

So that message could effectively mean you're about borderline.

So, if you managed to get it acceptable for you in 720p, then that's cool. I don't know what to suggest apart from saying that if you are CURRENTLY on those old drivers, they may have been corrupted, so you need to find that driver and download/install it again.

My drivers are all up to date. The wierd thing is, that before i downloaded the driver yesterday i had done nothing what so ever in terms of downloading drivers or anything. I then downloaded the newest driver patch to add on a couple of FPS, but then i found that i now could not change the display resolution in game. It is like the drivers dictates the games video settings

I get what you mean, but perhaps I didn't explain things properly.

The new driver you updated to changes it to the resolution you don't want as it causes too few FPS, right?
The old driver is the one that gave you the correct option but now is causing issues, right?

So, this means it's highly likely that OLD driver you've now returned to is corrupted or damaged. Find the version number of that driver, and redownload it, and then try again.

Let us know how you get on.

its the problem with your intel hd graphics driver.
there is no problem in nvidia driver.
just uninstall your intel hd graphics.
and reinstall the same graphics driver , no need to download latest graphics driver.
just go to intel driver website and find the driver you already installed
reinstall the driver after uninstalling and you are done.
works 100%
