In game native resolution

[Boss75]

Hey guys. New here. I have a problem with my computer not wanting to display my monitors native resolution in some games. The desktop is 1280x1024 which is the native and games like Oblivion and Dawn of War DO display in the native. But in other games like LotR: Battle for Middle Earth and a few others it will only display in 1152x864. Hopefully there is some solution to this that I've overlooked.

The new vid card I have is the 7800GS (yeah I know AGP) and the old one my 6800 did the same thing. I have the newest drivers and the monitor doesn't have drivers. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I'd like to know this too. FEAR won't play for me in 1280X1024 for me (native), it defaults to 1152X864 for my highest resolution possible.

(7800GT for me)

some games just arent programmed to go to high resolutions. in fear for me its 1280x960(1440x900 native)

You can change it usually through ini file... Usually there's a work around...

Yeah, for F.E.A.R., all you need to do is go into Shared Documents > Monolith Productions > FEAR and open up settings.ini. Change your resolution to 1280x1024 and you're done (don't go into display options in-game, though, otherwise it will go back to 640x480).
