Chronicles of Riddick (Resolution?)

[Khaydarin]

Can anyone else not make the game go above 800x600 resolution? Thats as high as the in-game menu allows me to go up to.

I'm replaying it at 1280x1024.
Got the patch?

Yep.....I patched it already to 1.1.


This is annoying. I mean....I've got it full detail, 16AF and 8xAA (SS also)......but 800x600???


Its a thorn in my side. All my video card drivers and such are updated. All of my other games run fine. This is bull.....is there an other "configuration menu" I can access other than within the game that might let me change it? I could reinstall, but that wouldnt make too much sense since the actual game runs fine.

But the question would be, do you have Monitor drivers installed?

I'm using nvidia's 81.94's with my XFX 6600GT.
Shader set to 2.0 [not ++]
Refresh rate?
On my old 19", with some games, I have to use certain rates like the dreaded 60 like I am for Riddick.
Vietcong, for example, wouldn't let me use 10x7 or 1280x1024 unless I was using 85 refresh rate.
Just throwing something out here for you cause the game is really good looking at 1280x

I have an old Micron moniter that doesnt have drivers for Windows XP.

In the game I have it set to 2.0++. Refresh rate it at 60. I'll try playing around with those.

I read on the TCoR forums that they advise against setting the Shaders to 2.0++. Running that forces Soft Shadows on, and most people/places say its not worth the insane performance drop.

^^^^

That is correct. Best not to use ++
