Running DayZ Workbench forces DayZ client to run at different resolution next time it runs
Assigned, UrgentPublic

Description

I normally play DayZ windowed at 2560x1440 resolution. Whenever I run Workbench, the next time I start DayZ client it switches to 1920x1080 for some reason.

Expected behavior:

Running Workbench should not change DayZ client's video settings.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Start DayZ client
  2. In DayZ video settings, change the screen resolution to 2560x1440 and windowed mode
  3. Save settings changes and exit DayZ client
  4. Start DayZ Workbench
  5. Exit DayZ Workbench
  6. Start DayZ client again
  7. Observe that the DayZ client window is now 1920x1080 instead of 2560x1440 desired resolution.
Additional Information

If I could, I would avoid using Workbench at all due to this bug. However, as far as I'm aware, some things can only be accomplished in Workbench, like converting images to EDDS files, etc. Every time I have to launch Workbench a little part of me dies inside. I'd much rather use Vim and command line tools to build mods.
