Resolution Issue

[morph113]

Somehow I can't get the game to run at 1920x1080 resolution. The game only runs in 1536 x 864 no matter what I do. In the game settings it's set to 1920x1080 and fullscreen. In the gameusersettings.ini I got:

ResolutionSizeX=1920
ResolutionSizeY=1080
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=1920
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1080
bUseDesktopResolutionForFullscreen=True
FullscreenMode=1
LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=1
PreferredFullscreenMode=1
DesiredScreenWidth=1920
DesiredScreenHeight=1080

Which seem to be the only lines that affect the screen resolution and I played around with them but the game will not run in 1080p resolution. It's the only game out of hundreds of other games that I have this problem with.

Does anyone have a fix or an idea how I could solve this? My desktop resolution is 1080p of course. I'm running on a 970M with updates drivers.

find this setting, it's at the top

sg.ResolutionQuality=100.000000

For most people it'll probably be 85.000000
Set that to 100

It's proper term is resolution scaling and that's why you're getting that odd resolution. At 100% the game will render 100% of 1920x1080 instead of 85% or whatever it's set to for you and then scaling it up. Your computer simply isn't doing the last part of scaling it up and you get that weird resolution.

That's the logical solution, if it doesn't work, look into your graphics drivers for a display scaling option and turn it off. Similarly, windows also has a display scaling option in its graphics options... turn them all off.

Yeah I already checked that and it already said 100.0000 before. I missed to mention that in my post so that's not the issue. I also have no display scaling anywhere I can see. It's literally just this game that has this issue.

Btw. I noticed that after I started the game the last time, it changed

DesiredScreenWidth=1920
DesiredScreenHeight=1080

to

DesiredScreenWidth=1536
DesiredScreenHeight=864

in the settings file. But changing it back does nothing. Also making the file read-only does nothing either.

you can try this.

https://12noon.com/ - screen resolution changer

"Display Changer II 1.7.0"

"Change the resolution of any Windows display (width, height, color depth, refresh rate, scaling, and rotation) permanently or only while a specific application is running. Display Changer II can also clone (duplicate), extend, add, detach, and rearrange the displays in a multiple-monitor setup. It can even configure your multiple monitors for AMD Eyefinity (so you don’t need to bother with the AMD Catalyst Control Center). This is useful for presentations with laptops as well as games and home-theater computers. Display Changer II uses XML files to specify your monitor configurations. This can be an advantage over Display Changer, which uses command line switches to specify settings and must be run once for each monitor."

Thanks but I am somewhat reluctant to install a third party software just to have this game at a higher resolution. The strange thing is, the actual screen resolution stays at 1080p but the game renders at a lower resolution. It's evident by alt+tabbing out of the game. It also seems the game is actually running at fullscreen windowed but not true fullscreen even though fullscreen is set in the options and settings.ini. So while the game is at 1080p apparent resolution, it only renders in 864p and seems to upscale to 1080p. I don't know, it's kind of weird. I guess I'm just gonna have to live with it. The game isn't about the graphics anyway.

Can try and post in the bugs section and see of they respond, though ive never seen them address anything. The most ive seen is the mod posting.

Just as a test what happens if you change screen modes when the game is running using F11 ?

This changes between windowed fullscreen and windowed modes.

Strangely enough what they call "fullscreen" in the settings is not really so, it's "windowed fullscreen".

You can check this when you make the change and save it, the ini is updated to reflect this.

FullscreenMode=x whereby 0 = fullscreen, 1 = windowed fullscreen and 2 = windowed.

Their in-game settings alternate between modes 1 & 2, not 0 and 2.

Just as an added tip, if you want a cooler running GPU you can use the UE4 built in FPS Limiter, just change "FrameRateLimit=0.0" to whatever you want, I run mine at 60 fps, don't need more for a game like this (my opinion of course), all settings max and at 2560x1080 the gpu is only loaded 50% most of the time. Results will vary highly based on you specs of course.
