Screen Resolution problem

The other day I began to have a problem with my ME3 in-game screen resolution, where the default setting had changed to a much lower resolution.

On the in-game menu, I selected extras / options / graphics but the normal choice of 1920x1080 wasn't there, and now for some reason the maximum resolution available is now only 1600x1200. I chose 1600x900 as it fits best, but man, it's chunky!

I checked the config utility in the binaries folder on my PC and sure enough, the highest available resolution is still only 1600x1200.

In the config utility the readings are:

ME3 settings

Windowed - Full Screen

Window mode - borderless

Aspect Ratio - Widescreen (16:9)

Resolution - 1600x900

etc

System

     Display

Resolution - 1920 x 1080 x 32bpp

With everything else my screen resolution is working normally, it's only with ME3 that I have this problem. I checked my PC's Display Properties and everything is normal and set to 1920x1080.

I tried a repair install but everything seemed fine and nothing's changed. I tried rebooting but the problem persists. This all seems very bizarre. Am I missing something? I play ME3 a lot so this is definitely new and wrong. I'm pretty sure it started after an Origin update.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

    Hmm, I just did another reboot and, hey, it's back to normal. I guess it's all part of the crazy world of Origin!

    All good. 😕mileyvery-happy:
