Screen Resolution too big - can't log in

Hi -

I upgraded my Catalyst drivers and in the process, apparently something got out of whack in the in-game resolution settings.

My monitor is 1920 X 1080 and I thought I set the resolution in-game to that. When I launch COH, the graphics are too big -- off the screen. I can barely see parts of the login boxes, and when I log in, I can't see my toons' feet or any of the launch / exit buttons.

I've tried running in safe mode, but that doesn't appear to help (it used to reduce the resolution).

How can I reset the in-game & launcher screen resolution -- is there a file I can edit?

Thanks.

You could use TweakCoH it lets you adjust quite a few things.

If you have tried safe mode and that doesn't reduce the resolution then the problem is not with the graphics setting in the game but with the drivers or the monitor settings.

My suggestion, roll back your drivers and see if you can get in game. If you can then check your game settings and see if they are correct. If they are and you weren't actually having problems with the old ones then stick with the old drivers.

Sometimes upgrading to the latest drivers whenever they come out isn't the best option. In fact if you have an older card then it's often a bad move.
