stuck in low resolution - solution? not fixed

[Clan Wolf]

hi


weeks ran this game at 2650x1600 but it wasnt. it was clear it was stuck in a low res and found it to be stuck in about 1680x 1050. This game has a F11 switch to window mode that isn't a mappable key in settings, no profile/settings config txt to manually do it there

i duno why this happened. but its a early access, so stfu, we know.

press F11, change the resolution from that mode and press F11 again for full screen and now everything looks looks the way its supposed to be

FWIW ...

I haven't tried messing with it, but there is a text config file with the resolution in it. At least, I see my current resolution there. But I don't know if changing that would actually change the resolution in the game.

The file is GameUserSettings.ini, and it's in:

Steam\steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

yeah ingame screen mode is whats messing it up. Default its windowed, at my native res of 2650x1600. Change it to fullscreen and it goes to the thereabouts 1680x1050 low res.

Steam\steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

GameUserSettings.ini

native setting as you can see full screen is not preferred and changing the 0 to 1 does nothing it seems. but windowed fullscreen mode while not true fullscreen is the only option to not have it look like ♥♥♥♥

ResolutionSizeX=2560
ResolutionSizeY=1600
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=2560
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1600
PreferredFullscreenMode=0

Down near the end of that section in the .ini file I see

FullscreenMode=0
LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=0

You could try changing those, but they're both 0 here and I'm playing in full screen, so they may not do anything either.

I also noticed that there are entries for DesiredScreenWidth, DesiredScreenHeight, and LastUserConfirmed versions of those, and then a later section in the file has bUseDesiredScreenHeight. Of course they may not do anything either. I'm just mentioning them, just in case.

One last, semi-random, thought:

Do you have drivers for your specific monitor installed? The monitor may seem to work fine with the generic Windows plug and play drivers, but maybe the game is missing some info without monitor-specific drivers?

I only ask because I recently replaced my monitor and it seemed to be working fine with the default Windows drivers, so I could see some people just leaving it like that (I went ahead and installed the manufacturer's drivers, just because).

Maybe try overriding the DPI scaling settings in the compatibility settings for the EXE?

i tried qouting you with paragraphs above my response, made a mess. So the following is responding in order of your paragraphs


Ok now that is interesting mine said something different and after changing it to what you have, those 2 lines all together are removed automatically after saving and loading the game and changing the screen mode.

mine only said
PreferredFullscreenMode=0

But to humor myself, i added these

FullscreenMode=0
LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=0

With 0 puts the game into Full screen mode but the res is low despite my setting.

Adding 1 to these, puts the game into windowed fullscreen and its ok until its removed from the .ini file. So it did mostly nothing, also noting in windowed fullscreen the res is grayed out.

Duno why this happens i verified the game files. Nothing missing. Looking at it again, the
PreferredFullscreenMode=0 is moved to the bottom of the list.

the rest i did change, did nothing it seems. i reinstalled the game before this and had nothing to reveal. listing in order we have

ones i didn't have to change

UIDPIScale=100.000000 (not changed)
ResolutionSizeX=2560
ResolutionSizeY=1600
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=2560
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1600

ones i did change

PreferredFullscreenMode=1
DesiredScreenWidth=2560
DesiredScreenHeight=1600
LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenWidth=2560
LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenHeight=1600
bUseHDRDisplayOutput=False



Yeah this likely adds some complication but mostly i don't ever have a problem with my DELL 3007WFP, business monitor 30inch, there is no driver from the manufacturer, have never needed one. Windows provides the generic, as does linux. Does not have the usual monitor button settings, has only power and brightness

So its not a gamers monitor nor is it a regular LCD monitor. But it was free is likely worth around $400. Works pretty good, it isnt a problem with other games. Just have to deal with the odd window mode, monster thick dvi-d cable that was a challenge to get. and whopping heat but Its hard to give up - 30inch is good for movies etc as opposed to wide screen or curved design.

my system is low ball, old am3 2011 (more like 2008) win7 64bit.

In need of a big upgrade only just replaced the graphics from R9270x to a RX580 - i had the same problem on the 270

There seem to be drivers for some older versions of Windows, although the model number that I ended up with was 3007WFP-HC. If that's the same monitor, I would probably try the drivers for Win XP, just for the heck of it. But that's just me.

Other than that, I don't know what to suggest. It seems like a fairly weird problem.

W.F mode is ok for now (or known as W.T.F mode) i just wonder if im getting damper on performance. But my cpu to gpu gen is a wide gap. A am3 (not am3+, am3!) PCIe2.0 w 580 its too ♥♥♥♥ to know. So old, yet used for about half that time since 2011 as i shelved it for a while, according to speedfan i have at least 1 dead sensor on the board.

The devs will likely squash more bugs soon. Thanks for your input, and as always i hope you learned something (viewers)

I found the issue for me to be the resolution that I had Deep Rock Galactic set at under settings within the game. If the graphics settings in the game don't match the resolution of the monitor or at the very least the ratios then issues arise.

wow 2019 who cares

I care, seems like people still find this thread through Google
