Changing to higher resolutions

home / Knowledge Base / Improvements / Changing to higher resolutions

In some cases, Deus Ex doesn't recognise your screen resolution and doesn't add an option with your resolution to "Settings -> Screen" window. Instead you may set it manually:

Press "T" (to enable the console), erase "Say" and type setres 1680x1050 if your screen resolution is 1680x1050 pixels.
If that didn't work, close Deus Ex, go to DeusEx/System, open DeusEx.ini. Find [WinDrv.WindowsClient]. Set the variables above it (again, as an example — 1680x1050): FullscreenViewportX to 1680 and FullscreenViewportY to 1050.

You may want to adjust FOV according to your widescreen proportions. Go to DeusEx/System, then open User.ini, find [Engine.PlayerPawn], calculate your FOV and adjust both DesiredFOV and DefaultFOV.

In high resolutions, there is a problem with the user interface, which becomes bigger than it should be. Unfortunately, there is no solution presently.
