Windows 10: Why would a game's resolution would stick to single option and why would the most part of...

I have Windows 11 and Crysis game installed. It runs fine on 1920x1080 but I need to reduce the resolution.But it doesn't show any other resolution option. All my other games like COD1, 2 and even latest COD and GTA5 games shows all possible resolutions apart from the defaults.So I don't know why this game is showing behavior like this.------------------------------------Also, if I try to "force" change screen resolution using the game.cfg file, it seems like it tries to run into that particular resolution, but most of the content of game hides in bottom right corner of the screen.Suppose if I

Games unable to detect screen resolution options

Hi! I'm having an unusual problem I can't find any documentation for. Several of my games (but not all) have become unplayable. Near as I've been able to diagnose, the issue seems to be that they are either not able to query the screen resolution options,
or the data being returned is invalid.

Games I've been able to replicate with:

• Mechwarior online: The default windowed configuration loads, but when you go into the settings menu, the screen resolution options are blank. There is nothing there to select from. Attempting to save ANY settings change will write the blank screen resolution
  value into the config and crash the game.
• Homeworld Deserts of Kharak: Game starts to load. Colors flash on the screen, and the music acts like it has loaded the splash screen, but you can't see anything. Near as I can tell it trying to render to a 0x0px, or 1x1px screen resolution.

Having more than one failure confirmed this is not a game specific issue.

System is a Lenovo Y500 Lapotop with a GT 750M graphics card (just the single one, not the second optional one).

Things I've tried:

• Reinstalling the games (no change)
• Installing video drivers direct from Nvidia (no change)
• Removing and re-detecting video and monitor components

The one weird thing I found when digging around in settings is that under the display adapter it lists resolution/refresh options for both 59 and 60 HZ at every resolution. However, I can't access the 59 HZ setting through the Nvidia app. No idea if this
is related to the issue, but it is the only other thing I've found that seems out of place.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

Radeon Overlay not displaying all options

Ok, I got a question. The options to hide the overlay are confusing. What are the steps to turn on the overlay in-game? Not interested in logging much at the moment. Is Alt-R part of turning it on/off?
