    Day of Defeat Source resolution issue

    Installed Steam onto my new systema nd then went to downlaod dod: source. I then went to option of dod:sorce to change the screen resolution, but accidental set it to 1280x720 and aspect ratio 16.9

    Problem is now even after deleting it and re-downloading it, the only screen resolution I can select is the 1280x720. There is no other option in the drop down box. Any idea on what to do?

    Go into Steam, find your game in the library and right click. Select Proprties and click on the "startup options" button. Add a height and width for your display as per below:

    # -w <width> or -width <width> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <width>. Ex: -w 1024
    # -h <height> or -height <height>- Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <height>. Ex: -h 768

    When you say 'startup options' do you mean 'set launch options' ?? And I don't understand why I can't change the resolution :| Very odd problem!
