Is there a way to force screen resolutions?

Post » Sat May 12, 2012 3:32 pm

Ok I just bought Mass Effect 1 and 2 on PC during the Steam sale. Now when I loaded up ME1 the largest screen resolution in 16:9 was 1280x800 or something similar. Now on my TV, unlike a monitor, instead of scaling the image to fit the entire screen it just creates a black border around it and only renders things in a 1280x800 rectangle in the middle of the screen. Which is pretty annoying when you're trying to play a game.

So I was wondering if there was a way I could force 1920x1080 resolution onto the game?

Thanks. :)

I had started to do that, I just couldn't find the right .ini file.
