Cant set Resolution + Small gamescreen
« on: April 27, 2011, 04:01:26 pm »


               Game Version: NWN 1 SoU HotU 1.69 
Game Language: English
Retail or Digital: Retail CD/DVD
Processor: Intel Core i5-460M 2x2.53GHz DualCore (Turbo 2.80GHz)
Operating System / Service Pack: Windows 7 Home Premium
System RAM: 4 gigs
Video Card Manufacturer: ATI
Video Card Model: Mobility Radeon HD5650
Video Card RAM: 1 gb
Video Card Driver Version: 8.672.1.3000

Hey.

I ran into this problem the other day with a fresh install of NWN.
When configuring NWN it is unable to detect any valid resolutions (the drop down is empty). If you click OK it defaults to something ridiculous like "460508 x 22388640 - 60 Hz".

When I start the game, I get it in a window mode which is about 1/4 of my screen, when i max this window, I get tiny window in the center of the screen surrounded by black stripes. I managed to play in the window, but it really makes playing uncomfortable.

I hope someone can help with this '<img'>

               Have you tried updating your video drivers?  I am not sure what the latest version is for ATI.  Says 11.4, but that might be the catalyst version.

Download and try, might solve your issues.

               This game and almost all drivers available for Radeons any newer that the X1n00 generation are usually incompatible.  nVIDIA cards and drivers from more recent generations work somewhat better than the Radeons from the recent generations.

               Maybe try manually setting your resolution in your nwn.ini file?  It's under [Display Options].  Set the Width and Height to the default resolution for your screen size.  I'm not sure that this will help, but it's worth a shot and wouldn't hurt anything.
You said fresh install... did you have it installed on that pc before and it worked? Or did you get a new pc?
