First open Settings.ini and set ForceOverlayedWindowGfxDriver = 1 and check if it helped.

If CC can’t even start in windowed mode then try setting appropriate graphics drivers manually. While this might fix fullscreen modes, windowed modes will look smaller and hardly playable even in 2X mode. You can also try to right-click CortexCommand.exe then ‘Properties’, go to ‘Compatibility’ tab and check ‘Disable display scaling on high DPI settings’. For example with 200% DPI scaling and 2160x1440 max resolution you can only switch to 1080x720 in windowed-fullscreen mode or even less in generic windowed mode (remember about window borders and headers). Note that CC shows only your native resolutions and does not take any DPI settings into account. In this case either disable DPI scaling or play in windowed mode. If you’re using some high-resolution display and enabled DPI scaling in windows settings (or it’s enabled by default, for example on Surface Pro tablets) then in fullscreen mode windows will also scale the game and you’ll end up looking at one quarter of the screen or something like that. Note that this is actually a windowed mode, so it looks at NxWindowed when initialized. To enable this mode open Base.rte/Settings.ini and set ForceVirtualFullScreenGfxDriver = 1.

This method might not work with dual-monitor configurations though and you’ll have to adjust window size manually, but in this mode your window may be of exactly the same size as your primary display max resolution. This is a widely used technique when instead of using a native fullscreen mode, you just create a borderless window and stretch it across the whole screen so it looks like you’re playing fullscreen.

Starting with B31 patch 2 you can use windowed-fullscreen mode.

Not that when you’re playing in 2X windowed mode your window must be a bit smaller, than your maximum resolution, because window has boarders, headers etc. Don’t forget to switch to 2X windowed mode via setup UI or you’ll end up playing in a small window even if your resolution is 1920x1080. Windowed mode is actually a bit less tricky to use and does not depend on specific drivers that much. If full screen mode does not work, set the highest possible resolution and play in windowed mode.

Safe driver setting overrides software setting. If it didn’t help, then set ForceSafeGfxDriver = 1. First switch to Software DirectX driver by setting ForceSoftwareGfxDriver = 1 in Settings.ini. If fullscreen mode shows black screen or does not work at all, try selecting simple graphics drivers CC will try to use.

Note, that if NxFullscreen = 2 that means that CC works in 2X mode and your values set by ResolutionX and ResolutionY will be multiplied by 2, so if you want to set 1920x1080x2 in full screen mode then you must set ResolutionX = 960, ResolutionY = 540, NxFullscreen = 2. To edit resolution manually go to Base.rte/Settings.ini and set ResolutionX and ResolutionY values. If CC can’t switch to fullscreen mode make sure that resolution you set for CC is not higher than your display’s physical resolution. If you have hybrid GPU configuration try forcing on GPU or another and see which works. This is not just some generic step to get rid of you, this actually helped me a couple of times while I was investigating resolution problems.

Update your graphics drivers to the latest version if you can. Whenever you did something horrible to your Settings.ini and CC don’t start anymore, feel free to delete the file and CC will reset all settings to defaults. Delete Base.rte/Settings.ini to reset all graphics settings to their defaults. If Cortex Command fails to start with default settings, shows black screen in fullscreen mode or pink screen in windowed mode follow these steps. All GfxDriver options are available only in patch 2 and make sense only under windows, anything else may be helpful for other platforms. Right-click Cortex Command in you library, go to betas and enter the password rocket100000. Attention, B31 patch 2 is still being tested, you can switch to it by applying for the cortex command beta.
