Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Resolution Issue

Looking for some help with a resolution issue ...

I have a screen 1560x1440. It works fine for all other games. Windows 7. Steam install. 27" monitor. Native resolution 2560x1440. nVidia GeForce GTX 460m

When I run Divinity at this resolution (using the configuration tool in Steam) it seems to automatically switch to a much lower resolution and I only can see the top left corner (it's like it's operating at 800x640). It starts okay if I change the resolution to 1920x1080 but it looks a bit blurry on the screen (assuming this is because it's operating at the non-native resolution).

How can I get the game to actually use the computer's native resolution?

Thanks for your help.

Did you try 1280x720? That may avoid the blurriness of 1920x1080.

Did you try 2560x1440 in fake fullscreen mode?

Why are you using a configuration tool in Steam? Does 2560x1440 not show up in the options in-game? Is your desktop set to 2560x1440?

Did you check your video driver settings, to see if you had any stretching or scaling options set?



You can edit the graphicSettings.lsx file (in the '..\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin' folder) in Wordpad, or other text editor, to manually change the resolution. Search for the section:

</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="ScreenHeight" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="1600" type="4" />

Search for 'fake' near the start of the file to set the display mode (if both FakeFullscreen and Fullscreen are set to zero, it will be in Window mode).
