Hello, a game I play (Cities XL) requires an 800x600 resolution to be available upon startup. As I run triple portrait, the drivers only show 600x800 as an option, and the game will refuse to run.

What I need to do is have 800x600 as an available resolution, even if it doesn't work (though it should). My monitors are 1920x1080, so I know they could display it. Is there any way to get this working?

I'm running 480s, on a Windows 8 x64 Pro install.
 
can you start the game in windowed mode, then go full?
can you edit your game shortcut, like this old Bf2 trick. C:\Games\BF2\BF2.exe" +szx 2560 +szy 1600 where you replace the bf2 info with that games path and YOUR resolution info?
or add a 4th monitor @800/600 then change primary screen?
OR do this for cities xl 2012 Go to your game folder:

"Normal" version: C:\Program Files\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XL 2012\Data\Config
Steam version: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Cities XL 2012\Data\Config

Edit the GlobalSettings.cfg and find the following line to edit:
<Application>
<Win32FullScreen>1</Win32FullScreen>
<ScreenWidth>1920</ScreenWidth>
<ScreenHeight>1200</ScreenHeight>
<AssertOnMemoryLeaks>1</AssertOnMemoryLeaks>
</Application>
where width and height are YOUR resolution. not my code I Googled it

Regardless of if it's windowed, or fullscreen, the game needs a 800x600x0 mode on startup - even with the Config edited (I tried that too).
