My LCD TV is a little bit weird. The resolution is 1368x768. Currently, the patch only provides 1360x768. Can anyone tell me how to configure the game?
Thanks a lot!

Are you sure you don't mean 1366x768, that's the typical resolution of most 720p LCDs.

Anyway, it's not a matter of the game, there are no video cards that run 1366x768. 1360x768 is the standard PC resolution for those displays, your TV won't scale that, you'll just get a tiny band of 6 unused pixels one one side (or 3 on either side) that you'll never notice. So just run 1360x768.

Thanks for the reply.
I know it is weird. But my actual setting is below:



You are right my video card can not accept 1366x768 but only 1360 and 1368. For 1360 I will have 6 pixels unused and for 1368 I will have all pixels used but 2 pixels overscanning on the right side which will cut 2 pixels on the right edge of the screen and that does not matter a lot for me. And for most of the games I played (Tomb Raider Legend, NSF MW, Biohazard 4, Dreamfall, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfigher, Extraction Point and even Warcraft III) I can set the resolution to 1368x768. So I don't know if I can do the same for this game.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

So your TV really is 1366x768 then, but you intentionally overscan it? 6 unused pixels really bother you that much? I can't even tell on my TV unless I put my nose right up against it.

Also, I think most TVs with good PC support should allow to adjust the screen position (I know my Samsung does) so that way you can get 3 on either side, which is even less noticable.

I would also warn against setting a custom resolution like that, there's a reason you get all kinds of warnings when you do that. I'm surprised the TV will even display 1368x768. It's probably none to good for the TV and I can't imagine it's best for the video card either. I think you just need to be a bit less picky and use the standard 1360x768. Widescreen gaming is already a compromise as is for a lot of games, 6 pixels can not mean that much to you.

Thanks for your advise! I will try use 1350x768 for a little while to see if I can get use to that.
Thanks!

I was in the same predicament.

I had to use a hex editor to get that resolution since it was overlooked. I tried to find the post with the directions for the Hex Editing to no avail. :(

Even so, R6 Vegas works fine at 1368x768. Looks quite beautiful actually.

I use an HP 26" 1366x768 LCD as my main PC gaming monitor. I have used 1368x768 custom resolutions with all my games for a year with zero problems. Counter Strike Source is amazing at 1368x768!

Don't listen to Stevedroid! :shock: He might have good intentions, but he is a bit paranoid about the way video cards and LCDs operate. You will not hurt anything.

If you can't figure out the Hex Editing, I could always Email you a copy of my 1368x768 Config file.

Good luck.
