  1. how to edit an ini file


    so i recently downloaded the oblivion remake trough xbox game pass, but the game refuses to run in anything but 1080p even though I have an 1440p screen. looked it up on discord and fount a work around using a couple of ini files. only thing is that after making the change my computer refuses to let me save the change. found out that its a common problem on game pass games. how can I change my own files on my own game on the game that I payed for? all I want to do is to play oblivion in my monitors native resolution

    :)

    how to edit an ini file

    Hi,

    I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

    If the .ini file is in an administrator accessible folder, you will not be able to save the file there, but you can save it in another location (e.g.: Desktop) and replace the file that will ask for permission before replacing it.

    good evening

    Show hidden files and folders, The ini file may be hidden, so you'll need to enable the option to view hidden files and folders in File Explorer. To do this, open File Explorer, go to the View tab, and check the box that says "Hidden items."

    Search for the ini file, You can use the Windows search function to look for the ini file. Press the Windows key + S to open the search bar, then type in the name of the ini file. Make sure to search in the entire C: drive or the drive where your program is installed.

    Reinstall the program, If you still can't find the ini file, try reinstalling the program. During the installation process, the ini file should be created in the appropriate folder.

    Dual monitors casuing windows to move around

    Hi Sam, your first question actually lead to the solution. The game was reverting to 1080p each time i ran the game, so it then messed with the windows. I had to edit the ini file of the game to maintain the 1440p res.

    Thanks for your help
