Got a new monitor. Won't recognize the higher resolutions.

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 1:30 am

I got a new 23 inch LEC monitor. The resolution maxes at 1920x1280. When i start MW, the max resolution that is available is 1280x960. I was playing at 1600x1200 with my old monitor. When i load Oblivion am am able to play at 1920x1280. Wht did the resolution change in MW? Does it have to do with the desktop settings? Thanks.

I think you can't use high resolution on your new monitor without MGE installed, but this is how I did it.

1 - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9cfb2d51-5ff4-4491-b0e5-b386f32c0992&displaylang=en and reboot (must be online)
2 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/morrgraphext/files/Beta%20Releases/MGE%203.8%2B%20SVN%20builds/mge3.8.2-rev.0178.7z/download and extract to Morrowind folder
3 - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3b170b25-abab-4bc3-ae91-50ceb6d8fa8d
4 - just launch Morrowind and then exit through the game menu

The MGE is working now if you don't have any errors or issues. :)
