Next time I play HotS again, after the game starts up, all settings have. 'Some of your graphics options require a game restart to take effect.

I am trying to play Command & Conquer: Generals on a laptop with a native resolution of 1600x900 but the game doesn't appear to support any custom or widescreen resolutions. All of the resolutions in game appear to have an aspect ratio of 4:3, leaving large black bars down either side of the screen.

How do you run Command & Conquer: Generals in a custom widescreen resolution?

In order to set a custom resolution, simply perform the following steps;

Start the game for the first time
Change the resolution from the default 800x600
Exit the game
Inside your My Documents folder, you will find a Command and Conquer Generals Data folder
Inside this folder you will find a file called Options.ini, edit this file
Find the line that says Resolution = and change the value from whatever it is to whatever you want

For example, for a resolution of 1600x900, you will want to set the Resolution = line to Resolution = 1600 900.

I will start up the HotS client, set all settings. Play and when done, shut down game and blizzard launcher. Next time I play HotS again, after the game starts up, all settings have been reset.
Already did a Scan and Repair, and still happens. Is there something else I can look at, settings file on my hard drive, or is this a blizz side issue?

Hey there Break977,
It sounds like something is preventing the settings from saving in the Variables file. Take a look at my post here for a few suggestions on what you can try to fix this.

As suggested in your other post, deleted the Variables.txt file. Shut down the blizz launcher, then restart the launcher and the game. Once in game, reset all settings and something I noticed, when changing the Graphics Quality to anything other than preset, the game displays the message 'Some of your graphics options require a game restart to take effect. Would you like to restart now?' When I click yes, the options do not change, they revert back to what ever I had prior to making the change.
So, after shutting down the game again, I opened the Variable.txt file with my text editor, and manually changed the resolution to my native screen resolution. Then reopened the game and glad to see the resolution stayed to what I changed it too, I was then able to make all other changes as needed.
Since this is a new(ish) issue, one thing for sure is there have been no changes to any account on my computer and no changes to the install location of the game and folder in which the settings have been saved. Weird, but workaround is helping.
