OK, so I used to play F.E.A.R. a lot. I mean A LOT. But that was on my old CRT monitor. I have'nt played it at all since I got my LCD, because it doesn't offer 1280 x 1024 as a resolution, and we all know if you set the wrong resolution on an LCD monitor it either doesn't fill up the screen or the picture looks distorted. I would like to get back into playing F.E.A.R., as I never actually played all the way through the story line.
So, my question is: does anyone know a way to manually set the resolution? I know in some games(oblivion for example) there's a .txt settings file in the program files, and I know you can force 1280 x 1024 in BF2 by putting " +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 1024" after the shortcut, but these methods dont work for F.E.A.R., and quite honestly, it pisses me the f**k off.
 
i thought 1280x1024 was already available in bf2? at least it was for me, but i'm also wondering how to force it in fear
 
FYI, 1280x1024 is ok for me in FEAR. It lets me play it like that.
 
Mine has it, I own the game. I can run it at that resolution no problem.
 
re-run the games system test... or reinstall. If your old CRT was 1024x768 it might be holding you to that as a max resolution.

I run 1280x 1024 no problem
 
ahh, found the problem.
i was on ver 1.0.
i updated to ver 1.08 and 1280x1024 is in the options.
