HDMI Monitor and 'Signal Out Of Range'

[troydt 10]

Hi all,

I've just installed ArmA: Gold from Atari (PC DVD).

I have an HDMI Monitor (1680 x 1050 - 60) and get a Signal Out of Range error as ArmA opens on a black screen.

I suspect ArmA is trying to set my video card to something the monitor does not do. I've tried setting Windows (XP) to 1280 x 1024 to see if that would get everything lined up, but with no effect.

I've also installed versions 1.08 and 1.14 with no effect.

Is there a file I can modify that sets the resolution, I can't get to the settings screen in-game. Or swap my T.V. monitor out for a 'monitor' and change settings, then re-connect my HDMI monitor?

Thx

Mr. T

Search for the file arma.cfg (it's not in the game directory but somewhere at "My Documents") and delete it. Then restart arma. After this you'll have to re-adjust all video settings ingame but besides this it has no downgrades.

If you are getting that message it means that ArmA is starting with a resolution that your monitor does not support.

Rather than delete the arma.cfg open it and find the following lines:

Resolution_W=1280;

Resolution_H=1024;

and

refresh=60 (if in doubt leave at 60hz...pretty standard)

I run mine at 1280x1024@60hz

Replace those values with a resolution and frequency you are sure your monitor supports and hey presto...no more err0r.
