Left 4 Dead 2 1920 x 1080 setting missing?

[SasiRawr_TTV]

I have just installed L4D2 on my new computer and while everything is fine and all is working at 1080p, I am having some issues getting just this game at this resolution. All others work fine.

I should also note that i am using my 55' LED tv for a monitor, which again, all other games work fine while doing this.

I have the resolution on 1920 x 1080. so that's weird..

You should check for driver updates of your TV monitor and GPU

[SasiRawr_TTV]

im using all new drivers, etc. And the TV is just that..a TV...its a smart tv and the driver is correct, plus the tv is correctly being identified under all my settings as a valid tv capable of processing 1080p...ugh, this sucks...lol

I should also mention i am using HDMI, and NOT vga...And i did notice while using hdmi, there was some overscan slightly when using 1080p

If you havn't already done so, try forcing it by using the launch options - right click on the game in your library, select properties, then in the General tab select 'Launch Options' and in the box that comes up type -w 1920

Setting width should automatically set the height with a valve game, but if it doesn't add -h 1080

There is a Support article about setting launch options ->here<- if you want to read more on that.

Oh.. Kiya was faster than me :)

[SasiRawr_TTV]

thank you so much. But now im having issues even getting the damn game to start! As soon as i launch, it errors and "sends a report" to nowhere...

[VenomShifter]

Verify the game files, and then try again :)

I normally do that when a game crashes

[Kiya]

Verify the game cache - right click on the game in your library, select properties, local files tab, verify integrity of game cache.

[SasiRawr_TTV]

totally got it to work right after. looks like forcing this resolution worked out....

Sorry, im kinda new to steam and pc gaming as a whole, compared to my light pc gaming years before.

[Kiya]

glad it's sorted for you :-)

[SasiRawr_TTV]

thank you both for the kind, and prompt responses!!

You can change the game's resolution by going to options at the main menu >go on video >on the top it should say aspect ratio >change that to 16:9 for 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720 widescreens > now that you have done that you can go to the resolution and there should be those options now

And the thread is over 3 years old. I'm pretty sure OP fixed the issue already...

[SasiRawr_TTV]

oh yeah...lol

If you suffer with this like I have, there is a simple fix. Make sure it's in fullscreen rather than windowed (no border). That's the whole issue.
