1080p seriously?

[Dab_Masterson]

WTF is wrong with this game, cant even get it to run full screen native resolution. Negative review incoming.

I ran into this yesterday as well. I'm not sure how to fix it either. One thing I noticed is in the game launcher my resolution shows up properly (3840x1600) and that resolution and others were mixed into the list like it wasn't sorted properly. I've owned this game since it came out (and the original as well) and have played the game many times and this was the first time I've run into this so they most likely broke it recently with a patch.

So there is no way to make it completely full screen?

You just need to go into your display settings to change the game into full screen.

That's not the issue, the in-game resolution setting is missing a bunch of supported resolutions. In my case it only goes up to 1920x1080 and is stretched across my 3840x1600 monitor and looks horrible. This game worked fine the last time I played so an update is probably causing this issue. The game launcher lists my correct monitor resolutions, it's just the game omitting everything above 1080p.

Aspect ratio?

On a whim I disabled my secondary monitor and now the game is playing at the correct resolution. I have had a multi-monitor setup for over a decade and it was never an issue with this game in the past so I don't know what changed. Dab, if you have more than one monitor you can go into the Windows display settings and select the "Show only on monitor <x>" setting based on whatever number your main display is.

no point in having higher res when the game is not made in higher resolution. The textures will still be in lower resolution and it wil be pixelated on higher resolution.

Works in 2k for me

I just tested it and could easily set it to 4K in fullscreen.

Are you running a multi-monitor setup with an Nvidia GPU by any chance? I searched around more and it sounds like this is an old multi-monitor issue, I plan to work around it by temporarily disabling my touchscreen secondary monitor (displays a bunch of AIDA64 stats of my CPU, GPU, drives, etc..)

I only use a single monitor. Months ago I was using a laptop and plugged this monitor into it. Suddenly, Red Dead Redemption 2 had a refresh rate setting issue. It worked fine once back to a single display. This game might not like multiple monitors. I don't know. I've only ever used a single monitor when playing this game.

Windows scaling. If you have a laptop and it displays scaling at 125% then disable it.
