Can not fix resolution STILL? (Stuck in 720p)

[Slothraki]

So I went and bought the Deluxe edition of the game as I was really excited about jumping in! During the beta I started up the game to be greated by a pixelated world of low res textures and jagged edges. It was difficult to play a game about hide and seek when you can barely see clearly, but hey it was only in beta. I fished around and found that my game was actually playing in 1280 x 720p which appears to be my issue! Only I can't find a way to fix this issue... Everything else I play has no issues in running 1080p, besides this. I've tried adding the launch parimeters at the begining, I've tried editing the games .ini files, I've tried selecting windowed and going back to full screen, and lastly I've posted on the steam community a few times with no response from any of the devs. If there is no fix right now, all's I would like to know is will there be soon, and if not, I expect it would be possible to go and request my refund? This is by no means a threat, as the game itself is fantastic and it would be a shame for me to miss out on this, but at such a disadvantage it's not really worth playing for me right now! Image provided below of settings. Thank you.

I've tried a lot of things as well like changing the resolution in the .ini files but that didn't work as well

Changing the scaling to 100% is not a proper fix, now I have to go back to the settings every single time and change it back to 125%, and sign out to confirm the change, it sucks! I can't believe that devs havent picked up on this issue before releasing the game. I know that the game has so many flaws atm but having to play in 720p is a major one!

Weird, I don't have to sign out to make the change happen. I feel your pain, every time having to log out and sign in again to make a change for only one of your games... Are you running Windows 10? And have you tried to change the .ini files first before doing this? Everything about them can be found here in your windows folders %localappdata%\DeadByDaylight\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini and %localappdata%\DeadByDaylight\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini

The things you have to change can be found on these links.

I hope this does the trick

I had tried to change the config files beforehand but it was still running in 720p. Yep, i have to sign out and back in when changing screen scaling (windows 10 pro)

Where do you change them? The windows settings or the control panel?

in windows settings-system-display

Just incase you don't want to swap back and forth between 100% or whichever scale you use
Unless you're fine with 100%, I know that I'm not

After right-clicking the EasyAntiCheat Launcher and checking the box 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings' I got a Launcher Error saying 'Missing AntiCheat Launcher dlls!'

Finally, I went to Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dead by Daylight and right-clicked on the DeadByDaylight.exe and checked the box 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings'. Now it works! Thanks Tensenuma for sharing this fix

Weird I never got that error message.
But you're welcome

This disable scaling fix usually works on any game of mine with wonky resolution bugs on my display settings.
Shadow of Mordor was the same exact way

I have found a temporary solution for those who are experiencing blurry screens and inability to set a resolution for the game.

You need to go into "C:\Users\<Login Name>\AppData\Local\DeadByDaylight\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor" and edit the file called "GameUserSettings" manually. Add in desired resolution, toggle things like AntiAliasing and/or VSync to True or False then save and close.

Some people have already tried this and came up with no results, saying that it makes no difference... But I found that you must set the file to read-only because the game resets it upon launch. I was able to fix my problem this way, though expect your in-game changes to not actually change anything and reset with each game start until you disable read-only state for the file.

^The one above did the trick for me. None of the dpi scaling issues were affecting or helping me. In that gameusersettings it had my resolution as like 1752x980 or something stupid. Thanks StarScribe.
