SimCity resolution problem

I cannot change the resolution is SimCity 5. When I click to change the resolution through the settings menu, it gives me only 1 option, which is the default resolution. How can change the resolution...

Okay guys I do not have an answer for you, but if you want to be a guinea pig...

XXXX\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityUserData\Preferences

Preferences.prop

Open in Notepad.

OptionScreenSize 56

I think that will make it go 1920x1080 but I have no clue to be honest.  33 seems to be the default whatever that is.  What is yours now?

I have no clue if this is what it actually does I didn't test.

Good luck

      Thank you for letting me know it works!  Updated the sticky to include this.

      If someone wants XP test some different numbers and report the resolution,

      I will +1 you

      Or just look at your Prop file and tell me what resolution you run is.

      OLD Use Maxis Sticky !

        Just saw this post while looking for a way to change resolution outside of the game. Somehow it got set to a resolution my TV does not support. OptionScreenSize 23 is 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz.
