Dead Island not showing 5040x1050 resolution

So I just got the game off of steam and it's not showing 5040x1050 natively. I've tried changing the value in the Video.scr file but every time I change it to 5040x1050 it reverts back to 1680x1050. I tried changing the value to 3840 x 1024 and that worked, so I know the method is working but for some reason the game wont allow the 5040x1050 so it keeps reverting it back. Has anyone had this problem or have a solution? I'm running TH2G with nVidia 266.58 drivers with 2 GTX260's

I have TH2Go too and couldn't see it either. Propably because of 57hz thing?

I have not tried tinkering with it yet.

If you have SLI then why not use nvsurround unless you are still on XP?

If you make changes to the video.scr file you need to make sure after you set that file to read only so that the game can not undo your changes when you launch it.

I've done that, the resolution is being rejected by the game, ill set it to 5040x1050 then set to read-only, launch the game and it still won't work, i close the game check the video.scr file to check if the game over wrote the settings and it didn't. That's what first led me to believe that changing the video.scr file was useless so i tried changed the resolution to 3840x1024, ran the game again and it accepted that resolution. Re-edited the video.scr file again to 5040x1050, ran the game, resolution rejected again.

You think the refresh rate is the issue? You need to start tinkering with it lol
I've ran TH2G for years now, before nVsurround so honestly, i've just kept TH2G since it's been working. With the nVsurround, I would have to connect each monitor to an output on the video card? I don't think my DVI cables are long enough actually.

Usually when it works

Usually when it works everywhere else but not in TH2Go the 57hz is to blame.

Anyway I tinkered with it and got it working but since you were a bit dick about it I'm not gonna tell you how. Good day!
