I just got a new monitor, and it's not compatible with my old resolution. I just have a black screen from the time the moment the login screen appears.

I know how to delete the settings folder, but that's obnoxious and I'd like to know if theres a workaround. prefs.ini doesn't seem to have resolution settings stored in it anymore. Perhaps there a command line switch to force windowed mode? Or a way to manually edit in a resolution setting? Any help appreciated.

Try pressing ALT+Enter when the client starts so that it switches to Windowed Mode. From there you can easily access the settings.

(Also, ALT+Enter in a majority of fullscreen application/game will change between windowed/fullscreen)
