DSFix Borderless Fullscreen resolution Change?
Hi everyone, I am trying to play this game with DSFix enabled on my 1920x1080 TV and I was dealing with some screen tearing issues when playing it on fullscreen, so I switched to the borderless fullscreen mode which fixed the screen tearing, but also seems like it has downgraded my resolution as everything, especially the text, looks a little off.

Any ideas of what might be wrong? Here is my current setup in DSFix

In the game options, under PC settings, make sure the resolution is also set to 1920x1080 otherwise there'll be issues. Also, game settings should have windowed mode on for borderless fullscreen in DSfix.

I tried that, and my only two options for resolution in the game are 1024x576 and 800x450 while it is in windowed mode
