In-game resolution is incompatible with monitor upon starting Arma 3
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I start Arma 3 from the desktop and when the game eventually opens, my monitor goes blank and the monitor displays "Out of range" in a red box. This means that the games resolution is incompatible with my LCD Westinghouse monitor. {F18080}

Additional Information

Although if I start Arma 3 from within Steam i can choose to start in windowed mode. My monitor will accept it and it works. However the game does not show and accurately where my mouse pointer is actually at(shown in provided picture). In order to fix it have to go into video options and change display options from windowed to full screen and everything works just fine(which is what should have happened from the start). My desktop resolution is 1920 X 1200.
