i also had to disable shadow maps?
HUD is messed.

Thanks Racer_S for this tip the first time in Th OK I MAKE IT

10x dude !

3840x1024 = 4000F00

run the game not the setup screen.

10x again !

Brilliant :) What's the math behind this ??

Hope my copy arrives soon now. And boo for non-native support.

Using XP, the only way to launch is using gamesetup which resets the VideoResolution registry value on launch :|

i think you just have to use SecuLauncher.exe im on XP and it works fine... id be more worried if this works with vista

:D It was my mistake, I was copy and pasting '4000F00 ' into the registry which was including the ' ' character :oops:

It works Great in 3840x1024 thanks :cheers

Okay, I think I got it...
Syntax : [hex value of resolution's height]0[hex value of resolution's width]
For 3840x800 : 3200f00 8)

Confirmed Solution posted.

I didn't have to, even at 5040x1050. Part of the scenery looks like it's wearing striped pajamas, but everything works no problem. :?

It looks good at 5040x1050, i think ill finally buy this game.

I tested the demo (3360*1050 registry key value '41a0d20' )

and I can not find the game great.

waiting impatiently GRID 2 (directx11)
and split second (disney)

Can anyone confirm this works with the Steam Version... I mean can the edit be performed and it stick?

I can verify that this trick does not work with the Steam version, it appears to reset this registry key everytime... :doh

Did you try to run the proper .exe from Program FilesSteamsteamappsFuel instead of launching the game from inside Steam :?:

As scanvvenjah said, you have to run the seculauncher.exe from the steamapps folder and not launch it directly from steam in order for it to work. I have the steam version and it works just fine.

Had this game for a while looks like a good time to jam on multi screens but I can't follow the math on this so can I kindly ask what code to use for a resolution of 5760x1200 on three 24"s.


Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Here's what I did for my 5760x1080 setup:

Run it at 1920x1080 (1920x1200 for you) first. Convert that hex value in the registry to decimal (there should be a button in the registry editor that does that automatically), then add 2*1920 (2 times the horizontal) to that decimal value, convert back to hex and you're set.

For example, my values were: 1920x1080 is 70780800 in decimal, 1920*2 + 70780800 = 70784640, then click the hexidecimal button and it'll be the right hex value.

Thanks Hydralisk_X, I'll give it a try later tonight and post my results later.


Scooby :wink:

Can't get it working... always get a "Cannot create the Direct3D device.(hr=0x8876086c) When i Edit the Registry!

Works fine with all the Settings like this one i can choose in GameSetup.exe (Manually in Regedit) but if I change the registy (doesnt matter how, just change the "VideoResolution") there is a Black window (in that resolution) which pops up, and starts flickering for like... 50 seconds.

Then the "Cannot create the Direct3D device.(hr=0x8876086c)" Error comes up an Fuel crashes.

Installed dx9 from DVD, from GameSetup.exe (realy did install some new files!) tried from Web (didnt change anything)

Reinstalled Fuel.

Tried in compability mode

nothing worked, and i still have no idea why :(

GPU is an AMD Radeon HD 6970 with 8.840.2.0 drivers. (CCC 11.4) Windows 7 64 bit!


Okay, it DOES WORK! reinstall wastn enough, needed also restart ^^
