You can change the resolution using 4 method that I have found out, only tried first two method.
I’ll try to share with everyone here, hope it can help some users.
If you make change to files in game, make sure you make a backup copy of what you change, so you can go back to in case you screw up the game.
1:using the steam launch option by directly entering common command lines. sample are show below, but it appears the noborder and novideo is not working, maybe its not supported by shogun 2, but the windowed and startwindowed option is working for me.
[link] wiki complete command line options reference

[link] steam command line options reference
-noborder -novideo -sw ?
-noborder -novideo -windowed ?
-novideo -noborder -startwindowed -w 1440 -h 0900 ? w median resolution
-novideo -noborder -startwindowed -w 1600 -h 0900 ? w median large resolution ( good option to use for my video card)
-novideo -noborder -startwindowed -w 1680 -h 1050 ? w large resolution
-novideo -noborder -startwindowed -w 1920 -h 1080 ? w large high resolution
2:using preference script to modify directly by entering in the steam launch option or edit it directly in the script located in your application data file under the user. This method start shogun 2 in windowed with border, currently it does not have option to remove border of the window, at least i did not find one yet so far…
you can change it in the preference text directly or enter in the launch option
