    I have tried setting the resolution manually in the cfg file and setting it as read only, highest resolution in the game setting menu is 3840x1200

    I tried re-installing windows, i am using a 780 TI graphics card to run the Dell UP2414Q display.

    Any ideas would be much appreciated, I bought this to play Metro :(
     
  2. There are several user.cfg files, if you have changed the one in the game directory, try the other one located at ...\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\4A Games\Metro LL\...

    The one in the steam folder is technically just for backup purposes.

    Yeah just go to C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Local\4A Games\Metro LL\110000100002d7d\user.cfg <<< or whatever urs says those numbers may be different on different systems.

    The above folder/ file is the only one that needs to be changed the other locations don't change a thing. They are actually used as a "base" basically for "safe mode" like purposes.

    create a backup of user.cfg first then...

    Change this ...

    r_res_hor 1920
    r_res_vert 1080

    To this...

    r_res_hor 3840
    r_res_vert 2160
