Resolution just won't work

Hinata23

Hiya.

I'm using 2.2.1MWM (downloaded from the standard gamefront link) and I always played on 1280x720. Worked pretty fine all the time. But I always wonderes how people get the higher resolutions, like those 1920x1080..

Yes, I know about the MWM Resolution changer.
Yes, I know it comes with STAGE1.
Yes, I tried using it.
No, it won't work.

Yeah, that should describe the basic problem. I also wanted to use enb series, but just EVERY goddamn enb setup I try, and I mean every, makes the game either blurry as f**k or brightens it up like the sun..

My GPU should easily do it, Radeon 7850.. Drivers are up to date.

Anyone got a hint how to fix this? I finally want to play on HD and ENB..

Any help appreciated.

Greets, Hinata

Not too sure about the resolution problem, I've never had that problem, but for ENB Series, try This One. It's the one I use, and it looks pretty good, you can see some examples on that page.

Jesus_Christ

eh? whats your default screen resolution?

Hinata23

Well, I installed those ENB Series and it doesn't make my game look that dope..

Maybe it's prepped for Nvidia?

My default resolution is 1280x720

Jesus_Christ

you don't need enb.

if your default/max screen resoliution is 1280x720 then SLR will obviously not run any higher, your max screen res is the max SLR res.. like any other game? 😉

ajlennox

Is that the max that your monitor goes up to when you try to change the desktop resolution?

Hinata23

Aw, I got the question wrong >.<

The max res of my monitor is 1920x1080 ^^

Holy_Shit_Man

Just use MWM Resolution tool, it's in download section 🙂

Hinata23

You should read the first post, KeeJay..

ajlennox

Is your monitor set at 1920x1080?

Hinata23

Yup. Permanently using it at 1920x1080 and playing other games on that res

ajlennox

So what happens when you use MWM Resolution Changer to change it to 1920x1080?

Jesus_Christ

what you should do is load your game, switch it to full screen, exit, change your res with mwm res changer, start it up and it will work - always worked for me.

Hinata23

Nothing.. I tried using it before starting the game (hammered that save button like 20 times..) and during the game, no result at all 🙁

@Jesus: Gonna try that

Added 6 minutes later:

Still nothing.. And btw, maybe this helps.. Whenever I start the res changer, it displays the resolution I tried to apply before. So it always says 1920x1080. And both of the buttons are clickable, just none of them shows a visible reaction after clicking..

maybe your antivirus blocks resolution changer

Added 1 minute later:

or try to run resolution changer with admin rights

Hinata23

Which antivirus? 😃

Checked that, no problems. Gonna try running it by admin rights

Added 3 minutes later:

Wow... Can someone please shoot me now? I haven't used the admin rights trick before.. Works well.. Since Win7 I never needed it anymore ._. Thanks for reviving my brain, mindeliszz 😃

Now to the ENBs...

mindeliszz

don't use it 😃

sgtgunlee

It's not blocking it, the problem is it's a uncommon resolution and will not work with it. I have the same problem on my monitor.

mindeliszz

1920x1080 is common, he said it worked when he launched resolution changer with admin rights

Hinata23

Why shouldn't I use ENBs? I'd love my game to look like this:
