Did you tried to reinstall or upgrade your graphics card driver after you upgraded your windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chloe Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I had much problems after I upgraded from 7 to 10. I first solved all after I installed Win 10 from scratch. i hope you find a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leopardus Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Hi AllyLove, I have a suspicion you may need to do a clean install of Win10, as Chloe suggests, because I think your 3DXCHAT is probably looking at the WIN7 Registry file, or similar. It would be interesting to see if your Registry file is being updated when you change the Resolution settings in 3dx. The following thread describes how to check and set the UI Scale directly in the Registry, but one of the other keys will be for the Resolution. I suggest you look at the value you have for the Resolution in the 3dxchat section of the Registry, then close the Registry, change the resolution setting in the game, then open the Registry and see if the value has changed. If the Registry value didn't change you could you could try to see if a workaround works for now by setting it manually. The value required will relate to the position in the Game settings Resolution menu dropdown that relates to the setting you want. The first resolution option in the game settings dropdown would require a value in the Registry of '0'. The second resolution option in the game setting dropdown would require a value in the Registry of '1'...and so on.

The weird thing is 3dx doesn't even give me the option to chnage the res. My native one is the only one I can use. When I open the drop menu that should show me all the possible resolitions I can choose from it only shows me my native one. Nothing else to click on. Thanks anyways.

Leopardus Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Interesting, so it is something else then. It kinda suggests 3DX isn't the problem, if the system is telling it you can only choose from one resolution. It does look more like a Windows/Graphics Card/screen driver issue. Maybe reinstall the latest drivers for your screen? Edited September 7, 2020 by Leopardus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing rly fixed it even clean installed all my drivers etc. What I ended up doing was chnage my desktop res to something that is not my native screen size started 3dx and suddenly all my res options were back. Went back to my native res on desktop and options still there. ColinDude, chloe and Leopardus 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
