    Again, not a driver issue. Tested on 2 PC's with different cards (GTX 550 and ATI 5750), rolled back/updated both pc's drivers, that setting remains missing. I have no idea how to go about editing the config with a hex editor, so I'd need a complete walkthrough. Aside from that, would it be possible to copy a file from someone else that still has that resolution set and hasn't changed it yet?

    Yes, that would work(but the other settings are also copied). As for the walkthrough:
    -Requirements: any hex editor, windows calculator
    1. browse to c:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV\
    2. make a backup of config.sys
    3. start the config tool and write down your current resolution
    4. open windows calculator and change to programmer view
    5. set it to "dec" and enter the resolution width
    6. set it to hex and write down the inverted hex number (e.g. 780->8007, 1234->3412)
    7. open config.sys with a hex editor and look for that number
    8. pick a resolution width you want a do step 5-6 with it
    9. overwrite the number in the file with the new number
    10. repeat step 5-9 with height

    Btw I still have 1776x1000 available in my general settings. So it's not a problem with the game. It's most likely the monitor driver :P

    Awesome, worked! Gonna tweak it a bit to make it fit better. Was a bit confusing at first, haven't played around with hex values since the Cisco days... Thank you very much for your help!
