Dead Space 2 can't do 5040x1050@57hz

[svr]

That resolution is not selectable in game, highest I get is 4320x900 @ 60hz. I had same problem with Dead Space 1. Maybe some other game too. I'm using triplehead2go digital of course. I remember reading there was a trick you can do to fool the game but I can't find it. How do you make it work?

same problem here.some help will be very apreciated Thanks !

[lance_141]

so no one here can help us ??

I played it with what I had. It was visually good but could have been better. I'm soon changing to nv surround so no more this problem unless nv surround sucks and I'm back to TH2Go.

Play it in DX9. You cant do DX10 / 11 in anything less than 60Hz. It's odd I know.

[lance_141]

am using windows xp 32 so i should already use dx9

That's weird, do you get 4320x900?

[lance_141]

yeah i can see 4320x900 in the setting menu but no 5040x1050.i tryed to change my resolution in the config file but no change.all my other game are working fine in 5040x1050.

Whoa, interesting. The only thing I can see getting in the way is DX10 but again it shouldn't run on XP (unless you downloaded the Unofficial Port of DX10 to XP). Did you try running 5040x1050@59Hz (59.998 or some shit like that).

[lance_141]

thanks for your help. no i did not downloaded the unofficial port.i just tryed to create a custom resolution using 59.998hz.using the custom resolution am able to see 5040x1050 in the graphic menu of dead space.but when i try to apply it in game my screen goes black as usual when you apply a new resolution but dont came back.after 5-10sec i get a blue screen and my computer restart :(

Try different Hz levels. 59.97, 59.986, etc. Find one that works. Make sure to test the custom resolution before using it in game. (you should be able to do this when you make a custom res)

Even tho we are not at 5040 x 1050, I stil get the full triple monitor wide screen mode. To me, staying at the highest default in my main game menu fills out my screen nicely. See Dead Space screen below.
(I did nothing extra with TripleHead2Go with desktop resolution 5040 x 1050)
Damn, them creatures land on my chair when they surprise me :)

All game setting to highest level -GTX Nvidia 480 1.5GB + Fraps screen shot:









Those with triple monitors, click on the image and expand it accross your 3 monitors. Nice shot!

Sadface, I have to stretch is to fill to my screens, doesn't look good.

i dont know what i do wrong because i tryed to test different refresh rate 59.998 or 59.90 - 59.85 .when i try to create the custom resolution it ask me to test it but always fail.

Got the latest firmware? Also have you configured the TH2Go to use 5040x1050 @ 59Hz in PowerDesk?

[lance_141]

just installed the lastest firmware didnt know there is a new one thanks .now am able to see 4800x900 and 5760x1080 in game but still no 5040x1050.

my config in powerdesk is 3x 1680x1050 my resfresh rate is set to 60(input refresh rate 59)hz


i tryed again to create a custom resolution in my nvidia control panel but the test always fail and dont know why but i cant delete any custom resolution i get a blue screen when i click on the red x to delete it.

[suiken_2mieu]

By any chance did you read this: Conclusive 5040 fix for all nVIDIA users !

[lance_141]

i think i will play the game with what i get.
