DEAD RISING 3 RESOLUTION fix

[Guest]

I CANT APPLY MY RESOLUTION TO THE GAME (1366x768)
IT GIVES ME ONLY 2 OPTIONS 1280x960 and 1920x1080 .....
HEEELLLPPP!!!!

Calm down.

Dead Rising 3 has some glaring PC port issues, this being one of them. There doesn't seem to be a confirmed way to set a resolution manually yet. The devs may patch it in later, hopefully they do.

One thing you can try that may or may not work and is completely at your own risk (I'm literally pulling this out of my ass):

Back up viewport.txt in steam\SteamApps\common\Dead Rising 3\data\datafile\ to any folder you want, but do back it up.
Then open the original viewport.txt in the datafile folder and look for:

cViewportShape MainView_16x9

Under there is a value for Y and a value for X. Change the value for Y to 1366 and X to 768. Like this:

cViewportShape MainView_16x9
{
X = "1366"
Y = "768"
Width = "1"
Height = "1"
Aspect="1.777777778"
}

If that section isn't in your viewport.txt at all just copy it from here and add it.
Save and exit, and launch the game.

If it doesn't work just restore the backup viewport.txt.

*From another answer i provided*

First off at the moment this title is a complete mess.......
re: resolution, there seems some hardcoded reson that only certain resolutions are available probably to do with the way it renders in 720p,900p or 1080p
try finding C:\Users\*YOUR USER NAME*\Documents\My Games\Dead Rising 3\rendersettings.ini
there is an option to add your own resolution but i believe it will still display it in one of the resolutions in your options, maybe it scales it i dunno anyway......
look for this section // Render Settings
Language = en
ScreenWidth = 1920
ScreenHeight = 1080

this is also the file to change it to run in a window if you want to try that out.

I notice you say "it only lets me pick from 1920 x 1080 or 1620 x 1050. i wanna play at 1920 x 1080p"
if you have 1920x1080 selected.... whats the problem?

Ive been plagued with randomn crashes with this game and the only way it seems to run 'properly' is for me to roll back gfx drivers to nvidia 335.23

you can uncap the 30fps limit by adding a 'user.ini' notepad doc to the game installation folder, where the exe is, and adding gmpcr_unlock_frame_rate=true
in the user.ini
But to be honest the fragile state this title is in makes me keep it at 30fps at the moment, and therefore keep the refresh rate to 30 too.

The only other thing i can suggest is if you run fraps, msi afterburner, hwinfo64 etc close them before running dead rising 3 if your experiencing any crashes or problems.

Unfortunately by the time they fix this truly unoptimized pile of poop, people will have gotten tired of it and moved onto something new.
hope ive helped in at least some small way, and good luck.

Open notepad, copy the text below and paste it. Once done, save the file as "rendersettings.ini" (Without the quotes). Then copy that file to: "Documents/My Games/Dead Rising 3/".

ScreenWidth = 1366
ScreenHeight = 768
WindowLeft = -8
WindowTop = -8
WindowWidth = 1366
WindowHeight = 768
FullScreen = true
RefreshNumerator = 23970
RefreshDenominator = 1000
Gamma = 0.8
RENDER_QUALITY = RENDER_QUALITY_CUSTOM
GAME_RESOLUTION = GAME_RESOLUTION_720P
TEXTURE_RESOLUTION = TEXTURE_RESOLUTION_HIGH
SHADOW_QUALITY = SHADOW_QUALITY_HIGH
SHADOW_RESOLUTION = SHADOW_RESOLUTION_MEDIUM
SSAO = SSAO_ENABLED
SSS = SSS_ENABLED
MIRROR_QUALITY = MIRROR_QUALITY_HIGH
VSYNC = VSYNC_DISABLED
AA_TYPE = AA_TYPE_NONE
ZOMBIE_QUALITY = ZOMBIE_QUALITY_HIGH
MOTION_BLUR = MOTION_BLUR_ENABLED
DOF = DOF_DISABLED
TEXTURE_FILTERING = TF_ANISOX2
SKY_QUALITY = SKY_QUALITY_HIGH
LOD_DISTANCE = LOD_DISTANCE_11
