Change resolution?
I'm sure this has been asked a million times by now, but I can't find an actual answer. Is there a way to change my resolution? Literally the only option in game is 1280x722, which is not even close to my display... xD

Same issue here.
I'm running a potato 1360x768 and I can't select anything other than 1280x722.

Pretty much every possible resolution configuration exists in the config.ini file.
Manually changing the "NormalWindowResolution" doesn't make a difference, nor does manually changing any of the "DisplayModes" in that config file.

It feels like it's hardcoded into the exe and it doesn't really care about the config.ini file...

might be time to finally upgrade monitors after all these years, I guess? I use an old TV, so my resolution is the same as your's - 1360x768. xD
Change desktop resolution then try to change ingame again. The game runs in Borderless windowed mode, so it will only allow your windows resolution max. If it was exclusive fullscreen, you would be able to choose a higher than native resolution.

Another option is not use fsr, increase rendering scale ingame and use lossless scaling for the frame gen.

Eh, I'm chillin. My lower resolution allows my graphics card to punch way further above its weight than it should. It gave both my 1060 6GB and my 1080ti way more life than they should have had. Granted, I recently upgraded to a 3090, so it's not much of an issue now, but yeah.

I'm not going to go buy a new TV just for Monster Hunter. haha.

The primary issue is the bracketing/restriction of resolutions.
I have three monitors (two of which at potato resolutions, one of which is 1080p). When switching the game over to my 1080p monitor, it only gives me "1280x720", "1600x1200", and "1920x1080".

I've cataloged my attempts over in this reddit post, some of which were even manually altering the variables in memory (which also failed).

I can't understand why would they lock resolutions out of the options, it really seems hardcoded to only allow some specific resolutions, I've tried everything but the ReFramework to try and bypass this but with no success

For now, I think I'm just going to use windowed mode with Borderless Gaming (it's on github[github.com]).
I've used it in the past for obstinate games.

The "fullscreen" option in Wilds adjusts it to 1280x722, which is blurry as heck.
Borderless Gaming just "stretches" windowed mode, leaving the correct resolution intact.

It's not a "fix" yet, but it'll get me through the weekend. haha.

I uh...bought a whole a** 4k tv and surround sound system for a game a year or so ago lol
Albeit a series I have followed for my entire life pretty much, and they are known for having visually stunning graphics.
Was it worth it?
For me, yes, was not disappointed in the slightest :lunar2019piginablanket:

Same issue. 2048x1152 is just not an option (though it is in config). Game looks like a blurry mess unless it's in windowed mode, which doesn't look great either.

This was the only thing that solved my case, it's extremely useful and easy to use. Really worth it, thanks.
