Pantsandhat October 27, 2005 Share Pantsandhat Member October 27, 2005 Hi anyone kind enough to read this, I have a problem. I recieved some new memory yesterday and to celebrate finnally having a gig of RAM I decided to up my settings all the way just to try it out and see if I noticed any difference..... well as soon as I set my resolution into the 1280x____ range my monitor shut off and displayed a monitor message "Out of Range". You should have heard my girlfriend laughing .... It was quite the joke. Well now whenever I try to start CS:S my monitor goes "Out of Range" and flicks off so I can't fix my resolution in the options menu so now I'm stuck w/o my CS:S which we all know is a bad bad thing. For anyone giving suggestions I'll list things I think might help or that I have tried. -The first thing I tried was to test the other monitors in the house... no luck. -Then I uninstalled CS:S and Steam and reinstalled... that too failed. -I did my best to search the CS:S help feature provided by Steam... I couldn't find anything -On what I hope is a positive note before the resolution change I had had the Console "~" enabled so if anyone knows a console command to fix res. please share. Sure hope someone has the fix for me so I can get MY fix Appreciate anyone taking time to read this, Pantsandhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblegum Bandit October 27, 2005 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member October 27, 2005 At work right now, so I'm kinda taking a stab in the dark since I can't check for sure. But usually anything in that settings menu can be found in your config.cfg file. Try scanning through that file and see if you see a resolution call out, if so change it to what ever you want the default to be and safe the file.

duma October 27, 2005 Share duma Member October 27, 2005 Well, I know it has to be in the .cfg file. However, I tried to find it in my own, and I didnt see it anywhere. eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie October 27, 2005 Share mookie GC Alumni October 27, 2005 Try going into the launch options for the game in your steam window. Put in this: -w 800 -h 600 that should make the game launch at 800x600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
