Can't change the resolution
My monitor is 1600x900 and when I enter the game the resolution is at 1280x720 and there is no option to change. What should I do?

I think I read elsewhere that somebody had to go into borderless window mode and was able to change that way.

But I am surprised it doesn't support that resolution in full screen.

Check your monitor’s OSD and confirm your resolution. For a time the resolution in my game was showing only 1920x1080, but the game was using window’s res of 2304x1440.

The game only seems to support standardized resolutions. So, 720, 1080, 1440 and 2160 for 16:9 resolutions and... some really weird ones for 21:9 because it's incredibly strict with its 21:9 resolutions.

Awful.
Never had this problem with any other game.

@Miss Ameba Try setting it to 21:9 atleast that way I could change it to a higher resolution. Although now the screen is smaller because of the black bars.

You pretty much have to wait for a actual patch to fix it. I also have a 1600x900 screen, waiting for the new GPUs serie to buy a 1440 or 4K monitor. To counter this, i'm using a little program to get my screen to go 1080p (which isn't supported by my screen so Windows is blurry), but in game it's better than having to play at 720p. Not the sharpest but still better.

What is the name of the program?

It's called ChangeScreenResolution, you can find it there : https://tools.taubenkorb.at/change-screen-resolution/
You'll have to create a .bat file with a script to get it to work. Also, it needs DSR enabled in your Nvidia settings.

Basically, it's a script that makes your resolution to change only when you launch the app specified in your bat file (so for this, ds.exe for Death Stranding).
It will switch your actual resolution for the one you want (1080p for example), then when you quit the game, the script switches to your original resolutio and it closes itself.

No problem, if you have any issue creating the script file, you can pretty much do a research on this forum, someone posted a ready to use file (you'll just have to change the path to ChangeScreenResolution, and the resolution you want to be active while playing the game) ;)
