How can I access higher resolutions?

Post by Hazelnut »

Hi, fantastic mod by the looks of it. Seven years - wow! :salute: =D>

I've installed the mod and got it running successfully, although the OpenGL renderer you recommend crashes every time so I'm using the normal Deus Ex D3D renderer. I've never been able to select a higher resolution than 1280x800 with my install of Deus Ex and when I saw on the forums that some people were using much higher resolutions I was pretty keen because 1024x786 (4:3 monitor) looks pretty blocky these days. I assumed that either the patch, the nameless mod or the Open GL renderer would add new resolutions, but no such luck.

So, how can I play in 1280x1024 or even my preferred 1600x1200?

Thanks.

Yes, open TNM.ini in \DeusEx\TNM\System\ and find these lines:
FullscreenViewportX=1280
FullscreenViewportY=800
FullscreenColorBits=32
Change them to:
FullscreenViewportX=1600
FullscreenViewportY=1200
FullscreenColorBits=32

Thanks Jonas - that works a treat. It really doesn't matter whether it can be changed in game, because how often do you want to change it eh? I guess that I could have done this with the vanilla DX too. #-o

Vanilla DX doesn't support high resolutions but using NVShacker's fix makes all the problems go away... :mrgreen:

NVShacker's fix is built into TNM.

In fact that's why you get this problem in the first place, it's a side effect of the fix.

In patch 1.0.1, I've added instructions for changing your resolution to the Troubleshooting section of the manual.
