Okay, let me see if I can write this up properly...
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU: AMD FX-8150
RAM: 16.0 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. M5A97 R.20 (Socket 942)
Graphics: 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX660 (Gigabyte)
(driver have been updated to latest drivers for graphics card)
Neverwinter Nights 2 - far as I know updated to the last official patch.
Ever since I got this game, I have not been able to change the resolution of the game.
In short, in the Game Options section, under Graphics, there is =nothing= showing for Screen Resolution.
Yes, the rectangle is utterly empty.
For a while I just lived with it, because I was playing the game in a small sized window on my 21" CRT monitor, and could see everything just fine. I believe the settings in the *.ini file had it set to 1024 x 768. However, when I pressed ALT + ENTER today, the rules changed. Now I have a game screen that takes up almost the entire screen when I am clearly =not= in Full Screen mode. The full screen mode seems to have a much higher resolution, quite possibly the maximum for my monitor. (According to NVidia Control Panel, that is 1600 x 1200.)
Has anyone had this issue before and know of ways to fix it without reinstalling the entire game? Any and all constructive commentary would be appreciated. Also, I don't know if this has a direct affect on the game or not, but I have yet to even find the NWN 2 Toolset - if one came with this game.
