Widescreen Gaming Forum

Someone suggesated 1280x768 and it works but my laptop can't handle F.E.A.R on such a high resolution :( .Any ideas for lower resolutions close to 800x600 but still widescreen?

Tried 1280*768, to no avail. I am running a 6800GT, with a Dell 2005FPW. I can get the game to run at 1024*768 (of course not WS), but when I change the INI, it reverts back to 640*480

Than,

EDTV 852X480 16:9
WXGA 1280X720 16:9
WXGA 1280X768 15:9
WXGA 1365X768 16:9
WXGA+ 1440X900 16:10
WSXGA 1600X900 16:9
WSXGA 1920X1080 16:9
WSXGA+ 1920X1200 16:10


GINTER,

Welcome - of course! :mrgreen:

Thrilla, I got a 2005fpw also, 1280x768 works fine for me, but you can't check display settings in game or it will revert back to 640x480. I tried many different resolutions like 1024x600, 1024x640, 960x640, 960x600, 720x480, 768x480, 800x480, and none worked. If your game starts up in 640x480 after the cfg change, try again. I don't know what to tell ya if it doesn't work, man.

settings.cfg

"BitDepth" "32"
"HardwareCursor" "1.000000"
"ScreenWidth" "1280"
"VSyncOnFlip" "0.000000"
"DeviceName" ".DISPLAY1"
"ScreenHeight" "768"

Quite weird .. dunno why I can't use that resolution. If I set it to 1600*900, it works, without a problem.

Maybe the Nvidia drivers?

Thrilla try 1280x720, If it doesn't work try switching from dvi plug to vga or vice versa. It maybe nvidia drivers, make sure you can set the desktop to the resolution you want, if you can't select 1280x768 or 720 in the display settings, that could be the prob.

Can somebody post lower widescreen resolutions? Like under 1000 pixels?

I can run the game at max at 800x600 but I gotta turn things down to run at 1280x768.

same prob as pdub.
I wanna play widescreen in a not so high resolution, like 852x480 (or something) that was mentioned earlier in this thread

Can you have the high res, but turn on the Pixel Doubler to halve it? Probably easier to do it that way. :)

i tried entering my 2 suported custom resolution in the .cfg file...
which are : 1152x648 and 1776x1000 ...
unfortunately the game ALWAYS froze when i tried to load it....
at the very first screen it stops responding....
when i set the rez back to 4x3 (using the config utility) it works again....

edit : to answer jchcheng right below me, my desktop is always 1152x648 and its really great! :) -- every other game i have played in the last year or so worked perfectly... its the first time i have a game freeze on me... its very weird!

NEW Edit : Well after reading for a while on Sierra suport forums... i found out MANY people had freeze problems with the game... i tried most of the sollutions and putting the game in compatibility mode (Win2k) worked! So now i play with my custom rez and the game is GREAT! :)
laterZ

make sure yr desktop resolution is the same as the game
