Hi Roketwod and welcome to the SDV Forums!
I just changed my game resolution by adjusting the numbers in my
startup_preferences file manually and it worked. This should fix your out of range error if it's just the wrong resolution. This seems long but you're really only changing 2 numbers, I'm just trying to be complete here:
* On your PC, open up your AppData folder. If you don't know how to get there, you can just search this in your Windows Search box:
%
appdata%
* This will put you in the following folder:
C:\Users\
yourusername\AppData\Roaming
* Open the
Stardew Valley folder in there.
* Copy the
startup_preferences file and
paste it to your Desktop or Documents folder. Wherever you like. This is just a backup copy in case something goes wrong. Well, wronger than it's already going.
* Open the original
startup_preferences file in the Stardew Valley folder. Choose
Notepad if it prompts you: How do you want to open this file?
There will be lotsa junk in there looking like this:
"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><StartupPreferences xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><startMuted>false</startMuted><levelTenFishing>false</levelTenFishing><levelTenMining>false</levelTenMining><levelTenForaging>false</levelTenForaging><levelTenCombat>false</levelTenCombat><skipWindowPreparation>false</skipWindowPreparation><sawAdvancedCharacterCreationIndicator>false</sawAdvancedCharacterCreationIndicator><timesPlayed>457</timesPlayed><windowMode>2</windowMode><gamepadMode>Auto</gamepadMode><playerLimit>-1</playerLimit><fullscreenResolutionX>2560</fullscreenResolutionX><fullscreenResolutionY>1440</fullscreenResolutionY>" ... and on and on.
Note that last bit I quoted where it says
fullscreenResolutionX and
fullscreenResolutionY. That's what it's trying to set your monitor to. In my case it's 2560x1440 because I play SDV on a nutso big monitor. I changed this to 1920 between the fullscreenResolutionX's and 1080 between the fullscreenResolutionY's and it set my monitor to 1920x1080 in-game the next time I started.
You need to set that to your monitor's native resolution. I'm guessing it's
1366x768? Note that is different than you posted originally but that is the most common resolution close to those numbers. There may be screens that do 1360x768 but there are none that do 1360x786, please do not use 786 as the second number.
* So in your case please change the number between the
fullscreenResolutionX's to
1366 and the
fullscreenResolutionY's to
768. Click
Save from the
File menu, Close the window and try Stardew Valley again.
The only problem here may be if SDV is trying to set your screen refresh rate to higher than your monitor can handle, like 75Hz when your monitor can only display 60Hz. I'm not sure how to fix that, hopefully that's not the case.
