1920x1080x59 hz problem resolution needed.

[CBE Player]

Hi
Just thought I'd check here since I usually get quicker answers than at 2k.

I have been running this game since it came out and have had not problems until the last couple days.

I use an HDMI hookup to my monitor/tv combo and it now (in game) lists only up to 1920x1080 @ 59 hz instead of the usual 60 hz I use to get.

Has there been any recent patches been sent out via Steam? Has any one else had this happen?

I don't see the difference in the "hz" change but it might make some difference in the way things look when I move around the screen.

As 59 is not really that big a deal from 60 I guess I'm just being anal about it.

Any answers?

Thanks

No recent patches that I know of.

As long as it looks good and plays well, count your blessings.

Well it is working, and the looks are just fine for my old eyes.

The only thing that is different is there is a line that shows up at the top of the screen like old picture tube tv's when they were being video taped...

I thought it was because of the 59 hz being below what the human eye can properly see, but maybe that is only to small a difference to notice.

Then again the fact that I had 60hz in the list of 1920x1080 res, up until now kinda makes me wonder why...

inquiring minds...

I'm having this same issue, it's flickering enough that it's a game breaking issue for me. Will post again if I find a fix...

I have finally had to reinstall Windows (dropping back from 10 to 7). and the game works fine now as long as I go online once in awhile (every couple days since the re-install)

Guess I did not really find a fix so much as a Big enough Hammer...

Hi there is a solution to your problem, I think.

"C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth\GraphicsSettings.ini"

Refresh Rate = 60

WindowResX = 1920

WindowResY = 1080

FullScreen = 1

StereoConvergenceMin = 0.000000

StereoConvergenceMax = 0.000000

StereoCursorOffset = 0.000000

ScreenShotWidth = 0

ScreenShotHeight = 0

Version = 1

; Refresh Rate
RefreshRate = 60


Notice that there are two refreshrate parameters to change to 60. Save and exit. Do not "apply resolution" ingame ever and it will remain at 60.
