Why support 1360x768 and NOT 1366x768?

[BONKERS]

This is a baffling and puzzling decision for 768p monitor/TV owners.

1366x768 is closer to a perfect 16:9 aspect ratio than 1360x768 is.

1280x720=1.777777778
1366x768=1.778645833
1360x768=1.770833333

If you wanted a perfect 16:9 version of this resolution, you SHOULD have supported
1360x765 instead as this is 1.777777778

Just manually change it
Go to c:/users/<yourusername>/appdata/local/capcom/Resident Evil - biohazard@HD REMASTER

Open "config.ini" with notepad and change the resolution to suit your needs.

[BONKERS]

Listing that as a generic change does NOT fix the issue.

If you set the .ini file to 1366x768 it will AUTOMATICALLY REVERT TO 1360x768 INSTEAD.

;edit: 1360x765 works. But not 1366;

Oh well, I thought I could help

buy proper monitor already. We live in 4k era and 1080 is lowest resonable resolution

[BONKERS]

Not trying to be aggressive or attack you.

It's just puzzling and irritating don't you think?

I think that it should be noted that 1360x765 which is a perfect 16:9 resolution works. And if 768p users who have an Nvidia card set Aspect Ratio scaling to "None" you will only lose 3 pixels on top and 5 on the sides and have perfect scaling.

God forbid laptop owners who have a 1366x768 display (Hint there are a LOT OF THEM).

Or people who have multiple TVs and monitors. (I own 3 monitors/TVs, 1600x900,1366x768 and 1920x1080) and don't have the performance for one resolution. (IE: 4xSGSSAA on a GTX 570 isn't playable in this game at 1080p. It runs out of VRAM and performance)

Yes, being a condescending butthead is totally a worthwhile addition to the discusion.

The closest resolution to an aspect ratio of 16:9 divisible by 8 is 1360x768
Some games won't work with "X" resolutions not perfectly divisible by 8
1366x768 is quite a bit of an unfortunate situation to be in since it's one of the
few resolutions with one of the sides not perfectly divisible by 8

768/8=96
1360/8=170
1366/8=170.75

[Jacken]

lol "4k era" few people live in that. I will keep my 768p monitor till games stop supporting them, thats about minimum 10 years ater............

We're not living in 4k era... We're just entering it. We're just on the first step into transition.

The divisible by 8 method is so obscure though. I can count on one hand the number of games that *ever* had problems with anything not a divisible by 8. And that was fixed.

1600x900 isn't divisible by 8 and that is supported so that throws it out the window
1600/8=200
900/8=112.5


And 1360x768 isn't ACTUALLY 16:9, neither is 1366x768. At least in my mind they are rather 16:9 with errors because of stupid arbitary old resolution standards based on XGA. (1024x768. Which making into a 16:9 resolution should've been 1024x576 even though you lose pixels. At least the aspect ratio isn't wrong)

1360 x 768 aspect ratio is 16:10

dont buy a laptop for gaming, simple solution. Also get a new card. I have a 2gb gtx 960 and it works fine on 1080... but i feel replying to this thread is pointless. Seems you just want the game to work as expected, rather than fixing the problem yourself with new hardware.

[BONKERS]

FWIW, it was never a Laptop. I was just using that as an example of a large demographic of laptops.

Not supporting 768p when 99.99% of 720p devices are actually 1366x768 is just inane.

And that's despite the fact that 768p isn't actually 16:9, it's slightly off.

16:9 is 1.7777777777777777777777777777778:1
768p is 1.7786458333333333333333333333333:1

ITT: People who think they can see a difference in 6 horizontal lines of resolution...

lmao, ridiculous

[General Furry]

4k era? ridiculous. Most people cant afford 1920x1080 gaming yet. Not only are full HD monitors more expensive but they also requires a lot more processing power. Even if I had a full hd monitor I wouldnt be able to run it. I have a 1360x768 monitor althought the ideal would be a 1280x720 one for my pc specs. But yes 6 lines of resolution can noticeable worsen the image quality as everything is a bit stretched and blurred, Ive seen it myself when adjusting the monitor.
And stop telling people to buy new hardware, its only cheap in the united states. in 2nd and 3rd world countries hardware is very expensive. Me for example, an rtx 4090 is completely out of the question, because it costs more than what I earn per year. rtx 2000 series are out of the production line and the only ones being sold are used, used by cryptominers pumping them 24/7 for an entire year. Buying that is a waste of money. The 3070 ti would be the perfect one, but I earn 1500 monthly (minimum wage is 1320) and it costs 8000, but in the meantime I have to live, buy myself food and pay for services and taxes.
