Just picked the game up on steam and it refuses to run at any res higher than 1600x900 in game. The opening movie runs at 1920x1080 fine which is the native res of my monitor. I have tried to edit the config file to force it to run at 1920x1080 but it just seems to ignore it and continue at 1600x900. Any help with this would be great as it is rather annoying to play at a smaller res than the native of my monitor.
After another day, I have tried just about everything to get this working. I have disabled my second monitor, reinstalled the game twice, ran my computer in a lower res than the native 1920x1080 and still nothing works to get Trials running at 1920x1080. The highest I can ever set the res is still 1600x900 no matter what I do and is getting really annoying as there is very little help for this. I hope someone can help with this soon.

If you are using a DX10 card (and not DX11) then this change has been made to help increase performance on your system.
Is there any way to bypass this, as I would really like to play the game in a resolution that gives the game what it deserves. The game itself is great I would just love to play it in 1920x1080 without having to go and get a DX11 card.

on my DX10 computer version 1.0.0 plays at max 1600x900, but on my DX11 pc version 1.0.0 plays at max 1920x1080
sorry veasu, looks like DX11 is the only way around it

If there is, it's not supported.Originally Posted by Veasu
Am I the only one that thinks that this restriction is extremely stupid? There is no mention of this anywhere except for when you shell out your cash? Being forced to play in a non-native resolution just because I don't have a DX11 card seem to be something that should never be done, I can understand restricting some more GPU intensive features such as water reflections and others but restricting resolution is a new one to me. Surely this should be changed? Because honestly I would class this as not fit for purpose forcing someone to play a game at a non native resolution which if the output source I was planning to use, being a TV, does not receive either a 720P or 1080P signal it will not return an output. This makes the game unplayable just because DX11 is not on the card installed. I am extremely disappointed because after having played a little with some friends using my old PC monitor the game is extremely fun but as stated before looks awful due to a non-native resolution being forced upon me.

Going back to the game I have decided that even though I love it, the multiplayer being one of the best things to have a laugh on with a group of friends, I just can't stand being forced to either shell out for a DX11 card that is not needed in my system right now or be forced to play the game in a non-native resolution. Because of this if there is no way that this absurd restriction will be lifted from the game allowing DX10 cards to run the game at 1920x1080 I will be asking for a refund. I seriously hope that this can be resolved as I love the game but I just can't stand to play at these non-native resolutions.

Honestly, the game runs natively at 1280x1024 since it's ported from the xbox, so technically that's the resolution it deserves. Really though, there's no reason to get a refund just because it won't shell out another 300 pixels for you.
