CS2 - Native resolution not available in fullscreen mode

[Der Haudegen]

Hi everyone, I need your help setting up my video settings in CS2.

I am running a dual monitor setup (Main screen 2560x1440p 144hz, 2nd screen 1080p 144hz).
Now, when I boot up CS2 it launches in fullscreen windowed mode. I want to switch to Fullscreen mode but if I try to do that, I can not select my native resolution of 1440p but only have 1080p available.

Is there any way to fix that yet?

You're a saviour! Just tried it and it seems to have worked. are there any potential drawbacks from deviating from the default setting in the nvidia control panel?

ongoing issue, didnt find a solution, and no it shouldnt require using a different display port vs hdmi. I play in windowed mode just to avoid the ugly small screen

I have been using the h and w parameters at launch along with a few others until they patch this, but these commands really help:

-w 1920 -h 1080 -freq <refresh rate> -fullscreen

if you decide to change settings, your resolution will change; always make sure you apply borderless fullscreen to your game when you are editing your video options in-game otherwise, it will go to the available resolution and refresh rate the game is able to detect

So i think i have a better solution..
Right click on your desktop and click "display settings"
Now click on your 1440p monitor and check the box that says "Make this my main display"
Now when you open CS2 it should let you change the resolution.
I had the same problem and i just did this exact thing i said and it worked perfectly

Also having this issue. Cannot set full screen resolution past 1600x900. Tried setting "full-screen" in NVidia Control Panel > Display > Adjust desktop size and position > Scaling but I didn't see a change in the game's behavior. Looking for any help and valve pls fix
