Coors Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Does it display that on after starting up FC2? Sounds like it might be trying to use a resoultion your TV can't support. Have you tried reinstalling FC2? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 You upgraded from a 9800GT to a 9800GT? Anyway - you've got the resolution set incorrectly in-game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coors Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 There might be a file you could be able to edit. Or you could just reinstall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes_5 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Reboot the system, press F8 to get to "Safe Mode". Then change your native res from there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lackadaisical Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 You can change the resolution by editing the xml file for the game. Go to Documents\My Games\Far Cry 2 and in that folder should be a file called GamerProfile.xml. Open it with wordpad, and look at the third line, here you can change the resolution. You want to change ResolutionX="Enter your resolution here" ResolutionY="Enter your resolution here". Make sure you set it to something your screen supports, you can also set the refresh rate here as well. Hope this fixes your problem. I would suggest trying a resolution like 1024x768 just to get in game and a refresh rate of 60. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
