Crysis / Crysis Warhead resolutions problems

Hello,

I have tried searching all historic threads and been unable to find my answer, but please forgive me if this has been covered before.

I have just upgraded to Vista 64x SP1 and am having difficulties with Crysis / Crysis Warhead. My specific problem is that it is not allowing me to select resolutions higher than 1280. When I was running it on XP Pro 32 bit it was running at 1920 by 1080, and allowed me to select up to this resolution and all lower options.

I am particularly confused because:

  • Far Cry 2 runs in 1920 * 1080 without problems
  • My desktop is set at 1920 * 1080
  • I have tried creating a autoexec.cfg file in the game directories forcing the width and height without success
  • I have reinstalled the latest vista 64x CCC and drivers
  • I have tried reinstalling both games completely without success
  • thewre is no scroll bar on the right in the resolution options which I have forgot to use
I upgraded to a 64x system specifically for Crysis / CW as I understood it would improve performance and I wanted to see the DX10 effect - needless to say I am very frustrated as a result!

Any help anyone could offer would be gratefully received,

Thanks

I have found a solution from another site which works for myself - I hope it will be of benefit to others:

In the Catalyst Control Centre, under HDTV support, add 1080i30(NTSC) and add 1080p60(NTSC). Then select 1080p60(NTSC) from the options at the bottom and apply. Crysis / CW may start windowed but by using Alt + Enter ( in my case twice) you can get them to work fullscreen, when actually in the game.

It seems the problem relates to ATI drivers and DX10, when using a TV instead of a monitor.

AMD Game Forums - ALWAYS 1920x1080i @60Hz in DirectX 10 games
