Changed Resolution

[Fanboi]

Hi there,

I play Civ V on my laptop attached to an external monitor, where I play at a resolution of 1920x1080. However, due to circumstances, I play now on my laptop screen with a native resolution of 1280x800.

The problem, that I have now:
I started the game, the ESBR screen appears, where it says, that game experience may change during online play.
There it says "Click to continue", what i cannot click on. Remember, 1920x1080 is still set.
In my point of view, I can't get rid of the ESRB screen, cuz the resolution doesn't match the native resolution of my laptop.
I tried then to change the resolution settings in "GraphicsSettingsDX9.ini", but somehow, the game doesn't apply the new settings I made in the config file (the cfg doesn't reset though, when I start the game). I had to change the aspect ratio from 16:9 (external monitor) to 16:10 (laptop monitor), but that didn't make a difference.

So, I am curious, how to solve that issue. Maybe someone of you can help me with that :O

Greetz,
Fanboi

Did you try tabbing in and out?
Sure that you set the resolution in the right .ini file (there should be one for DX9 and another one for DX11, if i'm right)?

Edit: And welcome to CFC .

Well, you cleared up one minor puzzle for me. When I switched from DX10 to DX9 the resolution changed and I did not know why. I now realize that DX9 has a separate ini file.

Since my only (graphics card) possibility is DX9, another cfg file doesn't exist. So, it should be the right .ini file, where I make the changes.

Here's the path to it:

D:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\$Username\Eigene Dateien\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\GraphicsSettingsDX9.ini

Tabbing in & out works, but it doesn't change anything :/

Btw, thx 4 the welcome Just a pity, that I stopped by here, just because I have a problem with my Civ V res. settings
