Vid card/monitor/game forces 24p@1080, unplayable please help!!

[Skenator]

I'm an avid Company of Heroes fan and was really excited to play it on my 46" Samsung D6000 model TV until I actually attempted it. For some reason when I play COH at 1920x1080, the TV goes into a film mode and displays at 24p, which as you guessed forces 24FPS or 23.997 according to the in game benchmark, ha. The game runs at 60p in windowed mode, but that can only be activated when I hit the windows key to view something on the desktop and immediately goes back to full screen upon resuming my game.

I talked to Samsung on the phone and they claim it's on the game's end. .which is strange because there is no 24p option in any menu. I switched from a Radeon 6950 to a Geforce GTX 670 because I heard about an Nvidia option to force resolutions and frame rates (please let me know if you feel that would work and how in this situation) but I couldn't manage that either.

Another avenue i'd like to explore is how to change the game launch options to force a windowed mode 100% of the time, any thoughts on that route would be appreciated as well.

I'm really frustrated with this and would ultra appreciate a solution, the 24 frame problem is much worse than just a low frame rate, it makes the game unplayable because of syncing issues and massive screen tearing.

If anyone can offer a solution, I'm willing to expend MASSIVE EPROPS ON XANGA, in repayment for their efforts, I've taken this to a few forums and no one can solve the problem--that is until you solve it, brave interweb adventurer.

From what I've heard about this, this is a game specific problem.

Have you tried any other games? I remember people having this issue with Crysis with some TV's.

If I remember right, the issue could be avoided by not using HDMI to your TV. I assume your using HDMI, have you tried VGA? To be honest with gaming at 1080p, VGA looks just as great.

Try this. Yes, I know it says Crysis, but it's an nvidia thing.

btw: don't know what massive eprops on xanga is, but i'll pass.

I have the same problem with Prince of Persia and Panasonic plasma Tv.
My guess is that it chooses the lowest supported refresh rate.

I have read that solution is to delete every refresh rate/resolution mode in CP except the one you want to use.

Let me know if it works
