Nvidia Problems

[Tradermagoo [GrA]]

Since I swapped to nvidia vid cards roughly 2 years ago(I was previously running a ati 5850).

I have not been able to run the game at the correct resolution.

Normally I run "fake fullscreen" it gives me a border around the window but it covers my screen from top to bottom and side to side.

And it leaves the taskbar open.

Just fyi I run 2 EVGA 670 Super Clocks 4gb ram cards in SLI and my native screen Rez is 1920/1080

So while not the "best" setup currently it's pretty spiffy for my needs and my monitor size.

I wont be getting into the whole thing about 1080/2k and 4k+ monitors other then to say 1080 is the height if the screen in pixels(which are square btw I can prove it) and the 670's run 1080 flawlessly.

So with ati/amd cards you run the enbconfig or the net7 config files and set your screen up and play.

Nvidia users have other problems.

In my case when I did that the screen size was limited to 1400 by 1000 which is roughly 2/3rds of my screen.

Go ahead use plasma in DT.

You can see on the bottom and right side of my desktop.

This is how it normally looks.

*yes emp can really do that* Again use plasma at gobb..Do IT!!!

So today after I formatted I was talking to a buddy in teamspeak and I asked him if he knew how to change the screen rez in the registry.

And this is what I learned.

Now this is in windows 10 other os's might move the folder around.. You might have to do a search for it. I don't know off hand.

Step 1.

In your game install folder is a folder called EBCONFIG / open it and run the enbconfig.exe and click windowed and hit apply and okay and close the folder and application.

Step 2.

Open your registry editor.

Step 3.

Open the path

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Westwood Studios

Find the render folder and click on it

The two keys I have highlighted are the ones that control your screen rez in game.

They will look a little different in yours due to the fact mine have been changed so don't sweat it.

Step 5.

The two keys you want to edit are

RenderDeviceHeight

RenderDeviceWidth

Since I run mine bordered and leave the task bar open I run mine at 1010 on the height and 1915 on the width.

So right click the key you are changing and click Modify.

Change the value from hexadecimal to decimal.

Change the value in the bar to the left of the hexa / decimal part to the rez you want and click okay.

Do the same for the other key you want to change.

Now run the game and see if you like the setting.

Adjust as needed.

 

I ran into an issue when i bought my ssd's and setup the raid 0 and copied the game folder over.

To make it work i had to run the net-7 folder exe's as admin and the game as compatibility to windows xp/vista as needed.

I'm also going to toss in my registry key in case you do not have the folder I listed just double click it and import it and then open it up as i described above.

For Extra Credit for those notepad savvy you can edit the reg file to suit your machine and save it.
