Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Bug: Screen Resolution changes on start

I'm having an issue with the Mac version (1.0.81.0) of the game. When I launch the game, the screen resolution changes on its own. I can't undo the changes because all of the options menus are push off screen. This makes the game unplayable.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue and how did you resolve it?

Try lowering your desktop resolution or disable any secondary monitors, etc, to see if that will get D:OS to lower the game resolution.

Try deleting the graphicSettings.lsx file, in the '~/Documents/Larian Studios/Divinity Original Sin' folder, to get the game to recreate it when it is next started.
Alternately, you can edit the file in a text editor to manually set the resolution:


Search for the section:

</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="ScreenHeight" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="1600" type="4" />
</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="ScreenWidth" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="2560" type="4" />
</node>



Search for 'fake' near the start of the file to set the display mode (if both FakeFullscreen and Fullscreen are set to zero, it will be in Window mode).

<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="FakeFullscreenEnabled" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="0" type="4" />
</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="FrameCapFPS" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="60" type="4" />
</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="Fullscreen" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="1" type="4" />
</node>

Thank you Raze. Deleting the file did the trick. Good to know in case this happens again. I appreciate the help!
