Where are the 16:10 resolutions?

[VariousArtist 19]

Hello!

I play since patch 1.02 and Arma2 never gave me any 16:10 resolutions beside 1680x1050 and I dont know whats wrong.

Ive set the resoltution to 16:10 but no other res shows up - neither render nor screen res.

When I edit my preferred res (1440x900) into the arma2.cfg I have to write protect it so it does not automatically default to:

Resolution_W=1280;

Resolution_H=1024;

Render_W=1280;

Render_H=1024;

So, whats wrong? Why is there no other 16:10 res?

Does Arma2 even support 1440x900?

Why does it default to a non-widescreen res?

Thanks for help!

Spec:

Amd 7750+ @2x2.7ghz

GF 9600GT (tried the latest 3 drivers)

I'm on patch 1.03 and I use 1680 x 1050.

I can't speak for any others.

I run at 1920x1200, so there are other 16:10 res supported. Can you set your Windows Desktop to 1440x900? I suppose A2 simple takes the available windows resolutions, if your desired one isn't in windows, it's not gonna be in A2.

I know what you said smart ass hence the "I can't speak for any others" portion of my reply.

Seeing as how you can't even figure what resolutions are supported without forum help, I figured you needed all the feedback you could get.

i can get 1400/900, so do other players i know? its a driver/win issue

[VariousArtist 19]

Hm, seems my monitors max and native is 1680x1050 but I have any smaller 16:10 setting available for the desktop res and all games that support 16:10.

And now that some peeps get the 1440x900 res I still wonder why it does not show up here... And why the game resets me to a 4:3 default...

Ive checked with the 3 latest drivers without change and windows supports it without problem...

Maybe anybody else have the same problem? Could help to nail that prob down!

thx for replies

I´m playing at 1920x1200 and can choose smaller ones like 1680x1050 or 1440x900. What display are you using and is it connected via DVI?

[hrPUFFnSTUFF 10]

running at 2560x1600 with no issues! but I had friends with similer issues, they have given up on this software though.

Its a Samsung Syncmaster 226BW, 22" and connected via DVI, yes.

226 BW is the exact same monitor I am using and 1680x1050 is the native resolution for it...........Why are you trying to run 1440x900 on it in the first place?...........:confused:

this is my monitor at work as well. 1680x1050 is the native resolution.

if you want 1440x900 whip out a calculator, figure out the percentage difference, and change the render resolution in graphics options.

simple stuff mate.

off the top of my head it should be 85-86% for render resolution.

I got 1440x900 into the game by adding the resolution in my Nvidia Control Panel's list of resolutions as a custom res. If you do that, the game should recognize and even list it in the Video Options. At least it did for me.

Hi, ive the same samsung monitor as you do and i can see all the 16:10 resolutions in arma2 options (1280x800, 1440x900, 1600x1050). So its not the monitor itself. Ill check nvidia/ati driver options if you have these modes available, if not than add them manually

[vasmkd 12]

I use 1680x1050 resolution on Samsung Syncmaster 2253BW but added 1440x900 and 1280x800 as a custom resolution in nvidia control panel. Since i added these ARMA2 now lets me choose them in the options if needed thou 1680x1050 runs fine for me with smooth gameplay

Simple, 1680x1050 is too much for my rig, so I reduce the res and imp the quality. Fortunatly the monitor interpolates nicely!

Thanks for the tipp with the alternative resolutions in the Nvida options. Ive tried it and noticed that my damn Nvidia panel crashes when I try to open it. (seems I havent used it before on this rig) Reinstalled the same and different drivers and the same happens. Really weird. Maybe some windows components are fubared - have to check if I can repair it. So I stumble from one problem to the next, hehe!

Thanks alot for the input, guys!
