    I have had this problem for ages now and i am stuck with what to do...I cant display 1366x768 on my Alienware M11X

    I have tryed changing every setting and tryed to change the refresh rate,i have been all over google repeated times with no way to fix this closest i can get is 1024x720 and im loosing half the screen lol

    i have tryed changing the ini config for the game to my native res with no help the game just launches with the same crappy res im scared that this notebook cant display 59 refresh rate as i hear that is the only way to play at your display size

    hope someone can help me please

    Your post is a little confusing. DMC4 won't run at native resolution, or NO game will run at native resolution? Its very possible DMC4 just plain doesn't support it, as some old games have issues resolving odd D3D resolutions. Every single game I own plays no problem whatsoever in 1366x768. :confused:

    could you possibly been running it with the onboard intel gpu? have you tried any other recent game with that res? like codmw2 or lfd2 maybe.
