Unable to get 1920 X 1080 resolution

Post by itsonlydanny »

Hi,

This morning, after installing the latest version of the New Vision mod (never tried it before), I then installed the new Deus Ex Nihilum mod - with no problem. Naturally though, this reminded me of TNM - which I hadn't played in ages. However, when I went to play it, there was terrible graphics tearing, glitches, artifacts, etc. So I reinstalled TNM, but still the same - until I changed the game rendering device in the TNM.ini to 'OpenGL' (there actually hadn't been an entry of any sort before), then it worked OK. But I now I cannot get a 1920 x 1080 resolution (as I have a 24" Acer monitor): it is perhaps worth noting that just like with 'GameRenderingDevice' there had not been any entry for resolution (ie, 'FullscreenViewportX=', etc) until I added it. I have no problem with getting a 1920 x 1080 resolution with the main Deus Ex game, or Nihilum or 2077 mod - only the TNM.

Yes, I've manually edited the TNM.ini file but no luck, the highest resolution I can get is 1600 x 1024 , which - naturally - looks fairly crap. I'be also edited the 'GameRenderingDevice' entry to Dx10 (ie, 'GameRenderDevice=D3D10Drv.D3D10RenderDevice') but no luck there either. Any idea what I should do next?

For your information, I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with a Nvidia GTX 460 1GB video card.

Thanks,

DANNY

I'm afraid the best you can do is 1600X1200 with TNM. It's something I've never been able to find a solution for if there is one at all. I think one of the devs mentioned something about it but I can't find that conversation by using the Search function. Hopefully one will drop by and give a more detailed answer.

You have to open the ini file and find the fullscreen viewport lines. Set them to 1920 and 1080, respectively. No big deal :)

As I said above, that made no difference.

Are you certain that you tweaked it in the right place? You may have more than one .ini and those lines may appear in more than one place.
