TFAR causes forced 640x480 resolution.
« on: January 23, 2015, 10:24:07 AM »
Starting yesterday my Arma began launching in 640x480 resolution with no loading screen or menus visible. I can hear the music but it's like I'm focused in the top left corner of the main menu.
I determined it was TFAR by removing all launch parameters and systematically removing all mods.
I updated my drivers after the problem started and it had no effect.
The workaround I found is to append "-window" to my launch parameters and change to fullscreen once Arma starts up.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Do you have your in-game resolution set up to match your monitor's native resolution?

Yes. I've double checked that just now.
Launch through steam > works fine
Launch through ArmaII Launcher with CBA > works fine
Launch through ArmaII Launcher with CBA & TFAR > resolution is 640x480 (fullscreen) and I can only see the top left corner (I'm assuming because I can't see any menu options)

If this only started yesterday just try to reinstall TFAR.

I probably should have included that I already tried getting a new copy of TFAR and the CBA version that comes with it. The problem persisted.

Might have been the... ARMA Update? I'm not sure why that would only affect you though.
