Guys, here's my problem, whenever i wanted to play dota, suddenly there is a msg popping from my screen saying "not optimum mode. reccomended 1920x1080 60hz". Can anyone help me??? some more,dota has the maximum resolution of 1280x1024x32. What should i do????There should be no problem with graphic card.... what should i do???????????

Message from where? Monitor? GPU should run without problem. If it came from GPU driver try updating it. Please upload a screenshot if you can.

The message come from the monitor itself. My monitor is samsung 22" 2233sw, 15000:1 . I tried to print the screen but, the message won't appear when i paste it at Paint

forget it...its just that your monitor recommended mode is higher than the dota.
it should be no problem (my monitor throw fit like that once in a while...saying recommended mode is 1280x1024 60Hz while im forcing it to run 75Hz XD)

But if i ignore it my screen blacked out

Probably that model doesn't scale from 1280. Play some newer games with that monitor. Warcraft 3 is very old so don't expect it to run on today's resolution..

but i still want to play it wo.... i finished all the CoD already, both crysis played already and ghost recon 2 oso.... so i think of playing dota again

You just have to live with it. Get a smaller monitor to play DotA.

Try playing with the settings on your monitor. What I guess is that your monitor wouldn't scale itself to the settings.

Since you said other games ran fine, might be the game itself. Try setting to the nearest resolution. I don't have widescreen to try on so I can only guide you through experiences I have had helping others.

A note from a friend: Setup -> Image size -> Auto

Hope this works.

So mato89, problem solve yet?

1)There's an alternative when you "Print Screen" which is once you press the button, straightforward open Paint and "Paste", you would have the picture you wanted. Save as jpg file for convenience.

2)I don't see that wide monitor screens would affect DotA pretty much. Perhaps you try using 1024x768 which is standard for War3.

3) GPU prob? How bout you right click your program and set it to
"Run on Windows XP" method. Also check on the settings system provided by your 3D Card. 60hz to 75hz should fine for DotA.


Try one of these.

The monitor doesn't feed this sort of information back to the computer. So print screen doesn't work. It's the monitor that's having the problem. The computer is fine provided you didn't change the default settings.

Try scaling down your desktop's resolution. Satriakid's solution is the best so far.

P/S Why is the word 'feedback' banned?

Sounded like it works for him. My post is red. What happened? Something new implemented again?
