Screen Resolution Issue

Post by mobley »

How do I change the screen resolution? Everything looks huge, like 640 x 480?

Lenovo ideapad laptop, core i7 2.20ghz, Win 8.1 x64, Nvidia GeForce840M, 16GB Ram, 1920x1080 latest 344.75 Nvidia driver.

The laptop has dual cards, an Intel and the GeForce. For some games I have to go into the Nvidia control panel and manually set the affinity for the game.exe to the GeForce card. In this case I can't - when I try to add armageddongame.exe to the list it does not appear...

Here is how the game looks for me on a resolution similar to yours:

Do you see it differently? Can you post a screenshot of how it looks for you?

in NV CP , there are really almost only 3D settings . No problem .
Right click on game icon->Run with graphics processor->High performance NVidia processor

for permanent change , from NV CP -> 3D settings ->Manage 3D settings->tab Global setting->Preferred graphics processor : Auto or High performance NVidia processor and check the res also there, and alter it and save...

so it's a setting issue, not a game one, but you can alter it and save it for all games...

seems also on some driver version, nvidia control panel isn't always shown or fully working either, info is from there support site as well

Code: Select all

Armageddon on Steam, screen resolution problem

Post by MartinG0011 »

When starting the game, I only see a small part of the Main menu on the screen, without any menu buttons.

I recently bought a big monitor with a resolution of 1980 * 1080. The previous display had a resolution of 2560 * 1440

So the game still tries to display at the higher resolution, so that only a part of the menu is showing.

Deleting and reinstalling the game didn't help.

So, what to do?

Thank you in advance

I know that this is years later, but this problem also involves a laptop with both a NVIDIA graphics card and a Intel graphics chipset.

I suggest to try and locate game's settings file:
%Documents%\My Games\Warhammer 40,000 Armageddon\settings.whdat
and delete it.
