with a host of other problems for just changing monitors (different res) and switching networks. hope this helpsĪll steam does is revalidates the failed file and reacquires. the above ^ sorted this, now res is changable and the games work, hopefully this is all you need to do and not have to touch the regedit configs. other games too did not recognise this res change and would not respond well. This was a noticeable apparent problem with switching monitors from 2650x1600 to 1920x1200, the res was locked and adv settings was not working. If you have hl2 installed run first, if not tf2 i guess. before i did this i defrag the hdd, until SSDs big enough for games is cheap which i plan to do (takes time to get a good performance ssd), defrags for that will be a thing of the past. Uninstall or just update display adapter (card) i updated as i had a new recommended driver available under radeon.
