Why does the game always start in 1680x1050 in windowed mode when my res is different?

  1. My res is 1920x1080 yet every time I have to start the game it is always set to 1680x1050? I have to then change it again.
  2. This issue is quite possibly the result of a corrupted UI or Configuration file. You may want to make backups and then delete the following files:

    default.ini
    vgclient.ini
    vgclient.dll
    vgclient.exe

    These files are located within the bin folder in the Vanguard directory. One or more of those files may be corrupt, causing these issues.

    Next, delete the configuration files/folder by following these instructions:
    1. Open the Vanguard Launchpad (do not login at this time)
    2. Click Advance Tools, Open Game Directory, then close the Launchpad
    3. Delete the VGUIAssets folder from the main Vanguard directory
    4. Delete the files explained above located inside the bin folder
    5. Close all open folders and restart Vanguard using the Launchpad to login and play

    If deleting these files does not resolve your issue, you can restore your backed up files and folders and retain your hotkeys, contact lists, and display settings.

    Once this has been done please try setting the game to your desired resolution and see if the settings stick.
  3. I have the exact problem. I even deleted Vanguard completely and reinstalled it, but that didn't work either.
  4. What exactly is your current desktop/native monitor resolution set to? Have you tried running the game in windowed mode to see if this problem persists?
    In order to do so open the Default.ini file located in your Vanguard directory and change the StartupFullscreen=True value to StartupFullscreen=False. Once this is done save and close the file then try accessing the game once again and see if you are able to correctly change the screen resolution.
  5. I'm having this same issue, except mine is always starting in 1600x1024 resolution.
    I tried all your suggestions here and nothing has worked, deleting all the files and starting in windowed mode. I have a nvidia geforce gtx 570 graphics card on the latest drivers with a HP w2207 monitor that has a native resolution of 1680x1050. I'm running windows 7 if that matters at all.
    I also have the game installed on my laptop and it doesn't happen on it, just on my desktop.
    When I tried the windowed mode thing it starts in 1600x1024, I change it to 1680x1050 and click the fullscreen button and it goes back to 1600x1024. If I then change it to 1680x1050 and go back to windowed mode it goes back to 1600x1024. No matter what I do it is always defaulting to 1600x1024.
