Wrong aspect ratio when using alternative resolution
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

My monitor has a native resolution 1920x1200. However, sometimes I need to set a full HD resolution for streaming (1920x1080).
When I set the "Resolution" in the "USER INTERFACE" menu to 1920x1080x32, the resolution is set correctly but the graphics is still rendered using wrong aspect ratio 16:10 (aspect ratio of my monitor) and then squeezed to fit 1920x1080. There is no option to set the aspect ratio manually in the settings menu!
This is a very annoying issue, because the video looks flattened and unnatural.
Before 0.59 it worked fine.

Steps To Reproduce

Get 16:10 (1920x1200) monitor.
Turn off image scaling on the GPU/monitor.
Set the DayZ user interface resolution to 1920x1080.
Set the rendering resolution to 100%.

Check if video looks flattened.

Additional Information

Workaround:
Change desktop resolution to 1920x1080. Run DayZ with the same resolution. The aspect ratio is correct then.
