Need Help, Want a lower resolution while still being windowed fullscreen

[Bigfoot]

So, I've got an ultra wide monitor, 3440 x 1440. The game does that which is fine, but I need it down to the windowed fullscreen version of 1920 x 1080. Or at least something similar. I'd like to play in windowed full screen but it locks the resolution. Any work arounds on playing it at a lower resolution while still being in windowed fullscreen?

I'm not certain but there are various launch options you can add on the steam side that might be able to work. Including forcing a resolution. Just sometimes they don't work in some games so I can't say for sure. Can google a list of the commands and how to do it if you want. I'd elaborate but haven't done it in a while lol

Yeah I have no idea. Just tried two ways and neither worked.

By default in UE5 and UE4, windowed fullscreen runs at.. FULLSCREEN resolution of your monitor. That's not something you need to work around, that's its intended functionality.

Yoou can still use res scale slider or upscalers if the performance is the problem..

Ya know other games have similar things of windowed FULLSCREEN. Yet you can still CHANGE the resolution to what is DESIRED. By all means performance isn't a problem, what the problem is I need to resolution to be what I need/want it to be.

Most UE4 and UE5 games don't do whta you want it to do, becaus eit is fullscreen borderless window so it rrunns fullscreen.

Back in the day in insurgency Sandstorm, i pushed this through our graphics programmer to replace the behavior such that you could alter the resolution and the borderless window would scale to it like a normal window would.

If you want to run in smaller window, Windowed mode is there for you.

Which is what I'm trying to avoid because... who the hell plays on windowed. Like just windowed. Gross. Ew. But the workaround I'm doing since ya can't change nothin is changing the system display to what I need. I'd prefer if I didn't have to change that everytime I wanted to play the game but I suppose whatever needs to happen.

Whatever floats your boat, though the question "why ?" still remains.

stream. Twitch doesn't support ultra wide.
