4k Resolution

[Wupster]

So I'm running an R9 295x2 and usually run games at 4k. The launcher only goes as far as 1080p.

Anyone know how to up the res? perhaps via file editing?

Thanks very much guys!

i think you would need to recode the game, since its already running at 4k internally on the higher AA settings.

Yes, right. The Highest AA setting includes downsampling from 4k.

The game doesn't support that native resolution son.

Still waiting... surprised there is no fix yet.

The game currently doesn't support any resolution other than the standard 720p and 1080p options you see. Using the "Highest" setting of AA causes the game to be rendered in 4k, then downsampled into either 720p or 1080p. For now, that 4k rendering is the best you can get until SE makes a patch that allows us to choose other resolutions or someone make an plugin/hack that allows us to edit the resolution outselves.

Until either of those two things happen, you're stuck with 4k downsampled to 720p or 1080p.

Except the 4k downsample is blurry and possibly laggy due to the AA, so its useless and better left off. A bit sad.

First, welcome to PC gaming! Unfortunately not all PC games can be played at all resolutions. While there are many great games that take advantage of 4K or multi-monitor play, this is one of many that do not.

Any game should be playable at any rendering resolution. Oh, and the game already can render it at 4k, so there isn't much excuse except laziness.

Oh, right, it's laziness. Porting games is so easy that any amateur can do it.

No, but square should be able to...

Oh great, a tart who most likely knows nothing about programming is talking out of his ass.

Believe it or not, game development isn't easy and porting can be a ♥♥♥♥♥, especially with licenses and Sony's platforms since they sneak pretty deep in your code and can't be removed that easily.

This is a very good port but also an old game. 4K didn't exist back then and they won't remake all their textures just for a handful of whiny elitists because most of their audience don't have 4K.

Stop using the word blurry if you don't know what it means xD

I am not talking about remaking textures, i'm talking about the rendering resolution... jesus

EDIT: http://steamcommunity.com/app/340170/discussions/0/528398719809935336/ Hey look, some resolution options. Now I can play at my screen res of 2560x1440. <_<

I'm not an elitist and i'm happy with the port other than the resolution options. The game isn't that old. You guys are being fanbois.

Well I didn't intend this thread to be a slugfest....but thanks for all who've offered their insights
