Windowed borderless does not work (ultra wide screen)

[Bella]

As soon as I put windowed mode in it immediately switches me back to full screen and pushes the game to the left. It is then in the correct resolution, but it is still full screen and I can no longer click on anything.
I have a wide screen and I've tried everything I can.
Is anyone having the same problem?

[RyanMcBain]

I have the same issue. I want the game in 1080p but it keeps changing it to 1440p.

[TTV.TheMelodicNightmare]

I have a similar issue of my 1440p defaulting to 4K

[RyanMcBain]

Will there be a patch for this? If not I'm gonna ask for a refund. This is ridiculous. I never had this problem with any of the previous games. I should be able to put the game in 1080p borderless mode without the game bugging out and making the screen smaller.

I got it!
There is a file called "GameUserSettings" in the game location. There I entered a 2 for everything that concerned the full screen and I set the file to read-only. Then start on DX12 mode, then it worked for me.
Hope it works for you!

Thanks, I’ll try this. When I set the game to full screen 1080p the game shrinks and refuses to use my entire monitor. I have a 1440p monitor. Hopefully this works.

To change from full screen to window borderless, a friend told me you have turn off HDR in the game or in windows and the game

[RyanMcBain]

That didn't work for me. How do I fix the problem I have when I set the game to 1080p on my 1440p monitor and the game doesn't fix to my screen? It's basically cropped.

The only way I could get a windowed mode to work is to use the DX12 version instead of the normal one

Hey all,

I'm sorry to hear that you were experiencing an issue in The Devil in Me whereby your chosen display method and resolution are resetting unprompted.

Does anyone happen to have a screen recording showing the behaviour as it happens that I can take a look at? I saw above that this was being encountered only in the DirectX11 client, but not the DirectX12 one? Is that true for all of you who have replied here?

hey, sorry for the late reply to this, but i just found this thread to see if something has changed after i wanted to play the previous games again. i haven't purchased Devil in me yet (due to the reviews about bugs and such even in recent ones), but this same issue exists in the prior 3 games as well even in the DX12 version as you can see in the video below (showing it in all 3 previous games in a row). Restarting the game after changing the setting doesn't help either.

My guess is that you use the same / similar engine and all that for all of the games, so these bugs probably have the same source.
Also could you guys please fix the clunky movement controls / camera (with mouse and keyboard at least)?

EDIT: also in case it is relevant, this is the content of the "GameUserSettings.ini" in the following path as example for Man of Medan C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\ManOfMedan\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor (later i also tried to change the fullscreen values within it, but it still always goes back to default "fullscreen" ingame)

EDIT2: after turning off HDR in the "Display" settings i could save the borderless mode until i close the game. restarting the game leaves HDR turned off but sets it back to "Fullscreen". setting the file to read-only after changing HDR to off and setting it to borderless now finally leaves it at "borderless"

Thank you so much! Turned it off in game and everything is looking good. Appreciate you
