Failed screen resolution change now wont l...

Is there a text cfg file for both overwatch and the source sdk base where I can change it back to the default resolution ?
I had no problems launching the game before I changed the screen resolution. When I chose the "wrong" res in-game it looped into a stutter. Now when I try to launch it I get this:

I think if I can change the resolution back down to 1024X768 in BOTH the overwatch and source sdk base, things will return to normal.
However I can't seem to find where exactly to do this in the files.
If anyone could enlighten me , I would be grateful.

Hello,

Here's how:

  • Open the Steam Library window, find Overwatch in the list
  • Right-click on it, hit Properties
  • Click on the Set Launch Options... button
  • In there, type: -w 1024 -h 768
  • Save, then launch the game. You can now change your resolution again from the in-game Options menu, but after you exit the game, be sure to go back to the Launch Options window and remove what you added, or your resolution will set itself back to 1024*768 again
  • If that doesn't work, use -autoconfig in the Launch Options window
