Resolution won't go above 1080p?

[hiDreamzZ]

I am trying to play the game in 2560x1440, but the in game settings have no options to go above 1080, only lower. I have tried editing from the ini, but it reverts as soon as I launch the game. I have also tried changing the settings through Geforce Experience which has my optimal settings at 1440p.

Does it offer other resolutions if you switch to windowed or borderless windowed before trying to change the resolution?

Sorry I should've included this as well, I've tried DX12/11 & also tried windowed/borderless windowed restarting the game for each setting change numerous times, 1080p is still my highest option for resolution. I've also tried putting all the settings at the minimum, closing the game, opening it & changing the resolution. Verified game files/ran as admin.

Then something is probably interfering. GeForce Experience is usually a good suspect as it breaks more things than helps, but maybe you have something else. Maybe some monitor manager application like DisplayLink reporting the resolution wrong?

I have the exact issue, talgaby linked me here thank you very much kind Steam user. My highest resolution is 1920x1080 but I want to lower it to 1280x720 to boost performance. My processor is AMD Ryzen 5 2500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx, 2000 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

So I don't have GeForce and I've tried looking for Monitor Managers on my pc, I don't have DisplayLink but I could have some really stupid alternative monitor manager I have to witch hunt lol. My Game runs pretty good so I'm sorry if I seem OCD I just like trying to get as good performance as possible.

Set the resolution to 130% (140% here) and it's done.

I use a desktop, from what I see display link is just a hub for laptops? I do however use an elgato HD60S on this monitor & have a 2nd monitor that is 1080p, but I don't have this issue with any other game so far & it's definitely launching to my 1440p monitor. I'm also not sure what else I could change in geforce experience.
my processor is a i7-3770k & I run a GTX 1070. Not sure if that information is useful in anyway either.

Try removing the Elgato HD60S from the setup test. If it still persists shut down PC (not restart) and then boot and try with Elgato HD60S still removed. If not resolved try the next suggestion (tho I suspect it is this since Elgato HD60S is a 1080p recording device and it is occurring on the primary monitor with higher resolution).

Try unplugging your 2nd monitor. Shutting off (not restart), booting your PC, launching the game and see if it lets you try a higher resolution just for troubleshooting purposes to see if the 2nd monitor is, in some bizarre application information conflict, causing an issue.

If it turns out it is occurring due to the Elgato HD60S have you considered Shadowplay on Nvidia GPUs for streaming/recording, or OBS studio? They are both very good and support higher resolutions and quality.

I use a dual PC setup for streaming.

It does appear to be the el gato limiting it to 1080p, now I guess the question would be is there any way to work around this? I would like to stream it if possible

Is it possible Nvidia Shadowplay or OBS Studio will replace your Elgato in a satisfactory manner for streaming? It SHOULD provide superior results, in fact, but I know some people use physical hardware for streaming to spare performance on lower end systems (absolutely unnecessary, generally, for higher spec builds with the correct settings).

Both of those solutions can use your GPU for this which should solve the concern of CPU usage from your older but still reasonably capable i7-3770k and the GTX 1070 is still a very decent GPU that can handle it without much concern at 1080p (speaking as I have one and actually handle it fine at 4k, albeit with a G-sync monitor so I can use vsync).

If you still insist on Elgato as your primary choice and the others only if you can't get Elgato to succeed try to google "elgato forcing 1080p" as I see others with your issue in various games but no immediate resolution though I only very quickly skimmed. Maybe you can find some additional info there.

I just found a fix for myself! I have a ultrawide monitor and also a 1080 tv both connected. I turned off mirrored displays and it then made ultrawide resolutions available. I don't have this issue on any other game.

I actually have my computer connected to my TV with an HDMI cable right now, should I try this?
