Game : Transformers Devastation.

Looking for expert advice, desperately looking for a way to fix this. Game has limited in-game graphics settings, it looks bad in FHD on QHD monitor and I want to force it to run in native 2560 x 1440.

All conventional ways I've tried have failed, there is no .cfg files to edit, I've had limited success with CheatEngine and GeDoSaTo. But solutions are unstable (or I'm just not good enough with these?)... Can anyone help me find a stable fix / permanent solution?

any help would be highly appreciated.
thanks all!

Thanks for the reply. I have a GTX960. There does not seem to be anything I can use in the Nvidia control panel, or if there is I don't know how. This game is from Platinum studios, same who made Metal Gear Rising Revengeance which had a similar problem, someone made a patch for it though. I talked to the guy who made it via twitter. Here's what he suggested me to do, but honestly I'm having a hard time using Cheat Engine, I'm not a programmer, I'm a digital artist, any help would be welcome.

"If it has an in-game menu I recommend using Cheat Engine and seeing what values change when you change the resolution. If it's as dumb as Metal Gear Rising was, you should look for the res values in memory as floats. If they're indeed floats like I said, you might be able to find them in the executable. And you can find them with a hex editor by converting the floats to hex: http://gregstoll.dyndns.org/~gregstoll/floattohex/

The more proper way would be using Cheat Engine's debugger which tells you where the values come from(which is how I found it)"

Might be easy for him, but I'm having trouble figuring this out... :/

Well...

In Nvidia Control Panel, there should be an option for display scaling under Adjust Desktop Size and Position. Try playing around with that.

For Cheatengine, I believe you just change the data type to Float and search for the current horizontal and vertical resolutions separately. Do a search for their current value, then change the resolution and search for their new value. Then try and change them after you've found both. But I think you'd have to do that everytime you play the game.

Thanks for the input James. I've looked into the Nvidia settings, doesn't seem to work even when I select the override option the game still runs in 1080p. Even if it did it's a solution that could affect every other software which would be less than ideal.

As for Cheat Engine I did it once but had a lot of trouble replicating the results and that's probably the biggest issue if I have to do it every time I run the game. The guy who made the fix for Metal Gear Rising made an executable patch that fixes the problem permanently... I wish I had the skills to do the same or knew someone willing to do it. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=99628721&postcount=7487 I need to find a permanent fix.
