Can't Play Far Cry 2 at 1920x1200

Post by Apoptosis »

I'm trying to play Far Cry 2 at 1920x1200, but it seems that it won't work on my monitor as it doesn't go full screen. Anyone else ever heard of this issue?

I'm running the latest Far Cry 2 hotfix drivers - http://support.ati.com/ics/support/defa ... onID=38664 on a fresh install of Vista 64-bit.

They are named hotfix_vista32-64_8-551-1-71310

Most games you can hit Alt+Enter to go into full screen mode. Did you try that?

let me try that... running a benchmarking script on it now... The benchmark utility has a check box for 'window' mode, but the game display options doesn't. So benchmarking is fine in full screen mode, but playing the game in full screen is a no go. I wanted to use FRAPS rather than the built-in utility.

In Vista go to Documents > My Games > Far Cry 2 > Edit GamerProfile.xml > Change Fullscreen="0" to Fullscreen="1=".

Did you ever hear when the optimized Nvidia drivers were coming out? I'd like to be able to up the AA.
