Resolution problems!

Recommended Posts

Couldn't find another thread with this problem. Only related (?).

I had the well-known "texture problems" so I decided to try upgrading my ATI graphic drivers. After reboot of the computer the windows resolution was 720x480 (16bit). I found that weird but I turned the settings back to 1920x1200 (32). I started Arma2 to see if the new drivers would help me get rid of the texture problems. It turned out the game resolution also were changed to 720x480. Now I can only choose between 720x480 and 640x480 (16 or 32 bit) in the video settings. I tried manually to change the resolution in config file but nothing happened. Is anyone else having the same problems? Any solution?

Here's some system specs:

ATI Radeon 5770 HD

Graphic drivers:

Driver Packaging Version 8.892-110914m-125026C-ATI

Catalyst version: 11.9

CPU: Intel Core Quad 2.66ghz

4gb ram DDR2

Windows XP 32-bit

Uninstall drivers with Catalyst Install Manager, then reinstall.

The Install Manager is part of the driver.

Just click the exe from the driver you want to install (I´m running 11.10 prev3 atm)

and choose 'uninstall software' instead of 'install', in the upcoming dialog choose 'uninstall all ATI software'. :)

You have this only in ArmA2, neither on desktop nor in other games?

(I think probs have to be driverrelated cuz your desktop was changed, too)

It's only in arma. (What I know of) at least not in windows or battlefield BC 2... I'm sure it's driverrelated since the problem occured after install of new drivers. Right now I'm reinstalling the game, maybe that works.

Nope. Reinstalling the game didn't work... Now I have no idea what to try.

try deleting your arma2oa.cfg (arma2.cfg if you don't have OA). A new one will be created the next time you start the game.

yes I did that but the game just made a new one with the same settings.. I made a system restore and reinstalled arma 2. Seems like it's working now.

Thank you for your help!

I think this is what saved you (assuming you restored to a point before you updated your driver) so be carefull when updating next time ;)

And keep in mind what NUFAN said: try deleting cfg before reinstalling.
