Any way to force true 4:3 scale in Destiny 2? (Searched prior)

[Brick, Kerberos Panzer Police]

I ask because it's how I've played my games most of my life. Destiny 2 LOVES to enforce 16:9 scaling where most other games would let you play 4:3 natively. Also, disclaimer, I'm not here just to get slapped with "16:9 is better" or something to that effect.

You would have to go into compatibility mode, which will permit you to alter the resolution for "Safe Mode" launches.

These launches permit the lowest settings for resolution compatibility.

Have you tried getting a 4:3 monitor ? :D

Why yes, I do have a 4:3 monitor, which I'm using as we speak.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a go soon.

Your only realistic option is to set Resolution to 1280x800 (if I remember correctly). Image will be a little stretched, but you'll get used to it eventually. Previously D2 had correct alignment for 4:3 monitors by default, but for some mysterious reason, they've cut it out...

This is very strange, I agree. I wonder if we can get Bungie to restore the correct 4:3 scaling from said earlier versions.Otherwise, this will have to do. I'll set up a custom res in Nvidia Control Panel and give it a go.

If I may, it's not a mysterious reason.

If you were to look at the requirements to run this game, (Decently) it would require alot more modern graphics cards.

There by, removing an option for 3:4 resolution, also removes the need to test this resolution properly.

If the number of people playing this are almost all 16:9, then why bother?

That is likely the mentality.

Did it work?

The worst part for me is that 1280x800 doesnt work, it always forces 60hz everytime I pick that resolution and it's the only game that ever gives me that problem
