Do you have UAC turned off?

In that case yes you wouldn't get the registry virtualization. I guess I assumed most people would have it turned on.

It's indeed off :D

Well, I checked it again and it's still;

Anyone know how to select a widescreen resolution? I can't select any ingame..

OK, I reinstalled Deus Ex and suddenly it works fine, I can select 1680*1050 from in-game. Very peculiar.

I installed the Steam version of Deus Ex and could select 1680*1050 without messing with the .ini files :)

I'm willing to bet that 1680x1050 was there the whole time - you just missed it. There's no logical reason why it wouldn't be there before, but suddenly be added to the list once you set the resolution via console.

Well it was not there before. I swear! I could only choose 1600*1200 and that ...

Try setting r_mode to "15". I think that's the r_mode hard-coded to 1680x1050. You can even do it ingame by bringing down a console (hold Ctrl+Alt+~) and typing "seta r_mode 15".

And r_mode 2 means "512x384", same as Doom 3. r_mode -1 means "custom resolution," which is also the same as Doom 3 ...

What's your native res?

I have a Samsung 226BW monitor and I use 1680*1050 as desktop resolution.

Even with the Steam version 1.3 I can't change my resolution to 1680*1050. The highest resolution which I can choose from is 1280*1024. I have set the aspectratio to 16:10, but this doens't help. What am I doing wrong?

Looks like I have to use the fix to get it work....

btw; shouldn't be ...

In the User.ini file where the resolution values are stored the multisampling option can be modified.

I switched in the x8 in the game an dit was listed as 9 in the ini file. After loading in a widescreen res and exiting the value was still 9.

Perhaps the game is using the multisampling ...

When you change the settings described above you can't enable AA ingame anymore because then the game will automatically change the setting to 1280x1024 again.

Are you talking about the multisampling option?

Yes, perhaps I can force it in the Nvidia CP :)

When you change the settings described above you can't enable AA ingame anymore because then the game will automatically change the setting to 1280x1024 again.
