Dead space 3 resolution problem

I just got dead space 3 and then the classic happens... The game is running fine, but the screen is black.

I have a 1440 x 900 screen and I have no idea how to change the resolution with Ea origin.

Could someone help me with this... Please?

    Find the following file and right click and edit the relevant lines to read as below:

    C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\EA Games\Dead Space 3\system.txt

    Window.Height = 900
    Window.Hz = 60
    Window.Width = 1440

    Once you have made these changes just save the file and retry.

    But the file of the game is in the origin folder and when i open the dead space map...there was no system folder...at all.

    Ea origin version perhaps?

    C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\EA Games\Dead Space 3 is a hidden folder. You may need to click on Organize, Folder and search options, View, and then select "Show hidden files, folders or drives, Apply, OK, close and re-open Windows Explorer. You will then be able to access that system file and edit its contents.

  • Hey there, how did you solve it in the end..Ive tried all the solutions I could find and the game resolution won't go over 1024 x 768 60Hz..my native resolution is 1920 x1080 which is an in game option but won't apply when I alter the config file.

    Thanks
