no 1280x720 resolution

Playing on a 720p HDTV

Hey all, I have a 1280x720p TV that I use for my gaming computer...

In all other games (and desktop settings) I have a huge selection of resolutions to choose from. I always use 1280x720 because it looks best with my screen. However, in Sins I have a fraction of the resoltuons and 1280x720 is not one of them. I'll update this later with a list of all my available resolutions ins Sins.

I'm using an ATI Radeon HD 3870 and an older LG 37" LCD TV (model LC372D) with a DVI --> HDMI connection.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I believe Sins is supposed to snag all the available resolutions from Windows, but TVs don't have standard drivers to pull the resolutions from. In any case, you can manually set it to 1280x720 by opening the user.setting file in your user path (check game Options > Mods > Show mod path for the user path, only it'll be \Setting instead of \Mods) and changing it there:

VideoFullScreenWidth 1600
VideoFullScreenHeight 1200

Yeah, its odd... World of Warcraft shows me all the resolutions that XP shows in the Display Properties - Settings tab... but Sins only handpicks a few.

Thanks for the tip on the Settings File. Works alright. The pre-game UI is cut off at the bottom but once I'm in game everything is fine. It looks like the pre-game UI is designed to 768 pixels tall and 720 is just a little shy.

Anyway, thanks!

**Note: I wonder if Sins doesn't auto-pick resolutions with a vertical of < 768 BECAUSE they didn't design the UI for it? Hmmmm...
