Nvidia Fullscreen Res Issue


Father Xmas

 

Posted

"Couldn't change to fullscreen. The display driver failed the specified graphics mode. Setting game to 800 x 600 windowed mode."

This is what I get whenever I try to load CoH now. I took my Nvidia drivers back to 258.96 when this first occurred, and it worked just fine then although CoH liked to tell me they were out of date. It recently crashed on me and gave me a pop-up box saying it was the drivers' fault, so I thought to update to 266.58. It was my hope that the original issue would have been fixed with the new drivers. (Lawl.)

I've run both Champions Online and DCUO since updating my drivers, and they work just fine. Why must CoH be so feisty? CoH is set to be run as admin, and I disabled the compatibility. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Here's my CoHHelper log:

What is your monitors max resolution? I took a quick look at your log and saw "Blank."


Have you installed your monitors driver? I know monitor drivers are usually pointless, they do sometimes fix windows not know what res the monitor works with.

CO and DCUO run on DirectX. CoH runs on OpenGL.

Apples and Oranges.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Of course, if I were to download it today I'd get it directly from the maker not a secondary link.

Cool, I tried to find it on their homepage but those links were broken.

When I first found the broken links I emailed them and he sent me a working link to the oldsoftware page. I've kept it bookmarked since.
