    "Yeah this is the bug I mentioned. Settings screen is automatically setting the incorrect resolution with no way to change it.

    I meant to post how to fix this issue. It requires some basic editing using regedit, changing the lines for full screen width and height so Arena uses them instead. Close Arena before making changes. After making this change don't go to the Graphics settings page or you'll have to repeat this fix.

    1. Press Win+R to show the Run box, or go to Start menu and type 'Run'.
    2. Type 'regedit' without the quotes, press OK (confirming a prompt if necessary) and wait for it to load.
    3. Navigate to this key and click the 'MTGA' folder icon:
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wizards Of The Coast\MTGA
    4. In the right pane find the entries 'Screenmanager Resolution Width_....' and 'Screenmanager Resolution Height....'
    5. Double click them to show the 'DWORD' editing box.
    6. Make sure the 'Base' is set to Decimal (it will be set to hex by default), and type your desired full-screen width and height, respectively (eg 1920 for width, 1200 for height). Click OK.
    7. Close Regedit.
    8. Start Arena and you should have your chosen resolution.
    (note that you can alternatively press F3 after loading regedit, and search for 'Screenmanager Resolution Height' to find it quicker, but just make sure you are in the location shown below when the search ends!)

    1680x1050 display resolution missing since last patch? I assume it was there before but since the patch this morning its not and everything is a bit blurry because of it. The closest now is 1664x936 which I have never heard of
