Resolution Issues

Toxiik05 · May 2010

I haven't played CF for very long, maybe a month or two. When I picked it up, it allowed me to use full screen without any issue. Now, when I attempt to set it to full screen, it just stays windowed, and locked to the top left corner of my desktop. I also try to change my resolution to the highest it says is available for me, 1440x900. When I select this resolution, it says that it isn't supported by my monitor and the change cannot be made.

I'd really like to be able to play full screen, but whatever.

Is your graphics card an nVidia one?
If so, I got the answear.
Open up the nVidia Control Panel. If you got Windows 7, you get there by...
Start > Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > nVidia Control Panel

When you're in the nVidia Control Panel...
Find "Adjust Desktop Size and Resolution". Click it, then in that section, click "Use NVIDIA scaling'.

Done.

This may not work for everyone, but it worked for me. My Crossfire was working fine until I updated my drivers for my nVidia 250 GTS. That's when I started experiencing problems with the full screen mode on Windows 7 64-bit. I rolled back my drivers and it's working fine now.

JDScorpion is right.

Rollback or update your drivers to see if it solves the issue.

One time i updated my driver for the ATI Radeon and it turned my res permanently to 640 x 480 and 16-bit color mode (Which looked TERRIBLE)

Drivers are always important, some aren't compatible with your monitor so i suggest you rollback or update them.

Here you go:

For an nVidia card:

For an ATI card:

(Select your model/make, etc on the homepage and see the available drivers)
