How can I change the resolution of the game?

Typically, computer games automaticallyDetermine what equipment is installed on your computer, and set the appropriate screen resolution. But sometimes for some reason the definition does not work correctly, and the resolution given by the game is less than the maximum possible. About how, in this case, to change the screen resolution in the game, we'll tell in this article.

Change of resolution in games

Of course, in each specific game its nuances,but usually the screen settings are configured for all games in the same section. To change the resolution of the game, start it and find the item "Settings" ("Settings" or "Options" for English-speaking games) on the startup screen.

In the settings you most likely need a section"Display" ("Display" for English-language games). Open it and find the item "Resolution" (in English "Resolution"). Using the slider or from the drop-down list, select the desired resolution. Here you can disable full screen mode, if such an option is provided in the game.

After this, most likely, you need to pressbutton "Apply" ("Apply"), although in some games it may not be. After this, the new settings will be applied automatically. Restart the game often is not required - the new permission begins to act immediately.

How to change the resolution in configuration files

In some cases, you can also changescreen resolution without launching the game. To do this, find the folder with the working files of the game in the directory "C: Program Files" (or "C: Program FilesSteamSteamAppscommon", if the game is installed from Steam). In the game folder, find the file named "game name.ini" or "game name.cfg". Open it with Notepad, find the "Resolution" item and set the necessary parameters in it, and then save the file.

However, it should be borne in mind that many moderngames have a number of configuration files, and it's not always possible to immediately understand which of them prescribes permission. Therefore, it is simpler and more reliable to still change the resolution directly in the game itself.
