    How to change resolution without starting a game?

    Hi guys,

    I bought Far Cry 4 today, but when I want to launch it, "OUT OF RANGE" comunicate appaers on my monitor. Does anyone know how to change resolution without starting a game? Are there any configuration files that allow me to change it?

    There are some .XML files in there
    Open up Gamerprofile.xml and there you can change ingame settings!

    you have to launch the game for that file to be created, its a stupid problem that i used to experience and its due to lazy devs, my monitor couldnt support 1280x720 until i hooked it up using hdmi so for months i had problems with games not launching for that exact reason, the devs were super lazy and didnt include an incredibly simple basic feature of the program detecting your desktop rez and using it, instead they would auto launch at the default console resolution of 1280x720 and the only thing you could do to fix it was use a second monitor to launch the game and set proper settings, or hope the game wrote a config file during install and not after launch

    you are going to have to get config file from someone else and manually alter it, or you can try hitting alt-enter when you launch it and see if it will force it into windowed mode, or try setting the resolution in the games shortcut, you add -width -height to the shortcut
