Can't change my screen resolution

[Astatine85]

After changine my screen resolution to 1920x1080 from 3840x2160 when I load up a save it automaticly changes back to 3840x2160

Im currently using a 4k display would it be the problem? Is there anyway to set it to 1920x1080 for better fps?

I also get automatic changes to highest available resolution. The switch happens when I load a save from title screen.

Hi Everyone! I would consider myself relatively new to the game, (300+ hr experience), but nevertheless I will try to answer your question.

To reset the screen resolution you could try going through the KSP settings to do it, or find your settings config file (this is a file called 'settings.cfg' on the main page of your KSP data folder. To get to it on steam, right click the KSP icon, click manage and then "BROWSE LOCAL FILES". If you don't have steam, the path will probably be something like this: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Kerbal Space Program'.

NOTE: I can't confirm whether or not that's the right folder because my files are stored under steam here: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program'.

 

Find 'settings.cfg' and open it with WordPad (or equivalent) and find where it says:

SCREEN_RESOLUTION_WIDTH = (Your own values)
SCREEN_RESOLUTION_HEIGHT = (Your own values)

 

Then replace those values with the ones of your choice. (for example)

SCREEN_RESOLUTION_WIDTH = 1920
SCREEN_RESOLUTION_HEIGHT = 1080

 

I really hope this helps!

 

NOTE: Remember to save your config files!
