Default refresh rate does not work for my monitor.

I just bought the game on steam, and when I start it my monitor goes blank and tells me that the refresh rate is out of range. Is there a command line switch to change this so I can get in the game? From the audio everything else seems to work.

Hi,

I've had this problem for about 2 hours now.
After a lot of resolution changes,Refresh rate changes,driver updates and headaches.
I found the solution.

for some reason the game seems to mess up in the auto detecting of your systems settings,More then likely due to a monitor not being installed with software so not detected by the system.

The only way i found to fix this is to enter the games options setup outside the game.

Go to:

My documents>My games>men of war>Profile>Player.

here you will have .set files of options,settings,keys and game progress.
click on the options.set file and when the select program box comes up link it with Notepad.


Once this is done you should be able to see all the games settings.
My problem is that the game setup the refresh rate to 85hz which my monitor couldn't support.

Adjust the resolution and refresh rate to your current setup. (or play it safe with 1024x768 ,60hz)
Save the file and exit notepad.

You now should have no problem playing the game,
Hopefully this helps you and everyone that has this problem.

or you can just tell it to use desktop settings in game settings....


{options
{video
{resolution
{mode desktop}


haven't had a problem with it using desktop settings (1280 x 1024 @ 75 hertz).
