Title: How to set resolution in TS3?
Post by: Freezerburn on 2009 December 26, 08:33:44
My computer resolution is 1152x864, but the game resolution is set to 1024x768 as there's no option for 1152x864. Anyone know how can I set it to my desired resolution?

Start -> Run -> Notepad, open options.ini in your userdirectory, set it.

Not working. It keep reverting back to 1024x768 with refresh rate of 60Hz when I start the game. Do editing graphicrules.sgr file will work?

Perhaps. Maybe it doesn't recognize your video card as being non-suck. Do you have one of those schmancy new ones?

I'm using ATI Radeon HD4670, so obviously my video card support The Sims 3. Even HD4650 is going great with TS3.

Yes, but if your card is TOO new, TS3 may not properly identify it as being capable of handling it. I'm still using an aging X1950.

That's odd.  I also use 1152X864 as my display resolution and that is a choice for game resolution in my game's options panel.  There is a drop down list with a slew of choices for resolution.  I have an Nvidia card rather than Radeon so perhaps that has something to do with it, don't know.  I've thought everyone had a drop down list of choices.  It never occurred to me there might be variance from computer to computer.

That's why I'm saying if your card is TOO new, the game may not be able to identify what resolutions your card can support and presents only the default limited list.

Is there no way of overriding it ( for a specific game ) in the Catalyst Control Centre ? Mine's an Nvidia so I'm not too clued up on game specific over rides for Radeons but it may be worth poking around inside the Control Centre .  :)
