help fill 2688x1242 iphone 11 pro max screen, stuck at 1920x1080 SOLVED!

[Λrrick]

Is there a way for me to set up the app so I can stream games to my phone in 21:9? I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and so far I seem to be stuck streaming in 1920x1080 FHD at 16:9 and I want to make it wider (and if possible the same resolution as my phone, 2688x1242), I have vertical black bars to the sides of the 16:9 game display that arent even being used.

All the monitors hooked up to my computer are 16:9 FHD if that matters.

I already know i can pinch-and-zoom to fill the svreen but then that chops off the top and bottom of the game display and I often need that for the HUD...


EDIT: So i found the solution. You need to use nvidia control panel to make a custom resolution that matches the device you want to stream to, my iphone 11 pro max in this instance. The Big Picture interface is stuck in 16:9 no matter what but once you launch a game you can set it to your new custom resolution in the display settings. This should work for any game that supports ultra-wide monitor resolutions. I got it working with Half Life 2, also tested with Life is Strange but that game seems to not support aspect ratios wider than 16:9. And you wont even need to keep your monitor set at that ultra-wide resolution for this to work (everything would look squished when you're using your PC). Once the resolution is in the system you can set the game to it in settings no matter what resolution your desktop is set to and it will work!

Try setting up a custom resolution that matches your phone for your desktop and switch to it before you start streaming. I did it for my iPad and it works a treat. You can do it in the Nvidia control panel (not sure how it works with AMD cards).

I can second Vuze's comment. I added the resolution of my Air 2 to my registry via CustomResolutionUtility and was able to select it in Into The Breach. It looked crisp as heck. Works better in games with interface scaling, alternatively calculate something like 0.75x of your phone's screen and set that up

that still works if the monitor actually connected to the computer hosting the game is only 1920x1080? my iphone is 2688x1242, a really weird resolution

i tried that out and would not seem to accept the custom resolution i was trying, 2688 x 1242. I couldnt get any 21:9 resolution to work, the number just turns red and it wont let me submit it.
