Psychonauts vs 32bpp display

lminer · 11-02-2011, 12:49 AM

I have tried to play Psychonauts only to have the error

"The game was unable to find a 32bpp display mode supported by your system in which to run. Your video card and monitor must minimally support 640x480x32bpp."

My setup
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 870 @ 2.93GHz
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1, 64-bit
ATI Radeon HD 5770 (With updated drivers)
Direct X 11

Necroing this post because i'm having the same problem and haven't found a resolution(npi) yet.

my specs are:

AMD Phenom II X4 945 3GHz
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Service Pack 1
ATI Radeon HD 5450

Drivers appear to be up to date.

What kind of display are you using? Monitor or HDTV?

Both, actually. It's a Samsung 2333HD, and it's connected by an HDMI post configured for PC use.

E: ah. I see where you were going with that question now. I created a displaysettings.ini file with my native resolution and it works fine now, thanks.

Will this trick work if my native resolution is 3840x1920?

Edit: Yes it will.
