Game "Resolution" Stuck (Cannot change)
4.5
The game is locked at a low resolution and the dropdown menu is grayed out.
Symptoms
- Blurry graphics
- Grayed out settings
- Wrong aspect ratio
Possible Causes
- "Windowed Borderless" mode
- Windows Scaling (DPI)
- Incompatible monitor
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Switch to "Fullscreen"
Many games only allow resolution changes in "Exclusive Fullscreen" mode.
2
Disable DPI Scaling
Right-click Game.exe > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings > Override.
3
Edit Config File
Go to the game's "Settings.ini" file and manually type in your resolution.
When to See a Technician
Windows "Display Scaling" (e.g., 150%) often confuses older games.
