Game launching in to high of a resolution.

[zanshin]

I've been trying to start up Pillars of Eternity 2. 

 

It boots up as if it's trying to display over four monitors.  I've tried disabling my second monitor and booting it up, I've tried reinstalling with only one monitor, I've validated the files.

 

At best I can see the top half over two monitors.  I can't click anything as I have the Critical Role DLC message (which is already installed) prompting me, so I can't see any menus to try changing the resolution. 

 

I'm really just not sure what to do, is there a text file I can edit to lower resolution to one screen?

I have the exact same issue but don't have 2 screens so all I can see is the top left corner.

I had the same issue. I tried looking for the settings file, but had no luck.

 

I managed to fix it by temporarily setting my resolution to the highest possible setting, then starting the game. I somehow managed to close that DLC window after I tried switching to windowed mode with ALT-ENTER. One of the buttons on the left of the screen (still only partially showing on my screen) brought me to the graphics settings. Kind of a clumsy fix though.

Having the same issue. The game starts in 4K even tho I don't have a 4k monitor.

 

I've followed BucklingSprings suggestion and temporarily changed my display to a 4k res and then I was able to finally get into the game and change it.
