Missing 16:9 screen resolutions
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

The graphic settings are missing 16:9 resolutions.
Here are the only resolutions that I can choose:
1920x1200
1680x1050
1440x900
1280x800

The native resolution of my monitor is 1920x1200 (16:10 ratio).

I need to record/stream my game-play using a 1920x1080 resolution (16:9). But there option to set such resolution.
Please provide additional 16:9 (standard) resolutions, even when using non-standard monitor.

Hello lipek and thank you for the report.
Currently the system that the game uses does not allow any resolutions other than those that are native to your screen. This is intentional behaviour and there are currently no plans on changing it, however, you can resize the game window to any size in the windowed mode.

Hi Geez,

Thank You for the answer.

"This is intentional behaviour and there are currently no plans on changing it"
I'm very disappointed with such decision. Other games have such option.

"you can resize the game window to any size in the windowed mode"
Unfortunately, resizing the window is not accurate. It is hard to set it exactly to 1920x1080. There is no information what size the game window has.

Regarding the windowed mode. It is also impossible to set the width of the window equal or greater than the screen width.

Hello lipek.
We are planning to add "windowed resolution" option to the video settings in the future stages of development to address this problem.
