GTA in Low res?

[sprunk]

Hi. Today I decided to reinstall GTA Episodes from Liberty City from steam cause i got tired of waiting for V to come out   And for some reason the game will only run at 800X600? I am unable to change any of the graphic settings in the game menu? I know the problem cant be my hardware cause i have a HD7970 and a 3570k, and is running everything else fine.Anyone got idea of what could be wrong?

Thanks

There isn't a launcher it just goes straight into the game. There is a screen ratio option though it is set to auto and won't let me change it

isn't that game old....maybe it doesn't support more than that 

and check the installation folder for the settings

This game is old yea, but not THAT old, it supports whatever res you want as far as i know.

Anyways you could try setting the res from outside the game. The config file for settings is coded and can't be tinkered with but try this:

1) Create a new .txt document in your GTA IV folder (Where the GTA IV.exe is) named "commandline.txt"

2) Open the file in Notepad/preferred Txt editor and add the following lines:

-width 0000

-height 0000

 

Replacing the "0000" with the resolution you want to set. 

Save the file and you're done/

 

btw you can edit more stuff through "commandline.txt". You can check this link if you want http://gtaforums.com/topic/397064-frequently-asked-questions/#entry1058959070
