[4.2.1] [PC] Resolutions
Something has happend to the resolutions. After the patch, somehow I had a totally screwed resolution on my 2560x1440p Monitor. To clean things up, I deleted all ini files and let the game create them fresh after a restart. that fixed the stretched image, but now when I ALT + Enter, Game gets windowed, of course, but when ALT + Enter again, Game keeps a lower resolution, but stretched to my native monitor size, which results in unsharpness of course. can't find a way to fix this... Any help ?

If you're talking about these lines in GameUserSettings.ini then unless you were or are playing in fullscreenmode=2 for some weird reason those lines are are ignored anyway so they weren't doing anything.
- ResolutionSizeX=
- ResolutionSizeY=
- LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=
- LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=
- WindowPosX=
- WindowPosY=
- DesiredScreenWidth=
- DesiredScreenHeight=
- LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenWidth=
- LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenHeight=

These Lines are the only way how to get my resolution back to normal, when I edit them to 2560x1440 before I start the game which was played in a window earlier.
When I tick and untick "Fullscreen" in the settings, I end up with this stretched resolution. And to press a button I have to move my mouse way over the actual button to click it
For some reason, that gives me a much smoother gameplay and a higher FPS... I don't get what's wrong here.

Totally unrelated, sorry, but did someone else notice that hte blight update really made teh game look weirdly bright? like idk HDR was on or something?
When im alt tapped out ti looks fine in the background with some program over it, but when click on the game to have that in full screen, yeah idk its weirdly bright

GMan79,
I have the same issue since 4.2.1 (4.2.0 didn't have this issue). I have a 2560x1080 monitor which I always resized to 1920x1080 before launching the game. Now, the game stretches to the widescreen resolution regardless of any fix I've tried. This is literally unplayable and the only way is to play Windowed Mode which isn't viable at all. They need to fix this ASAP.

sadly no mod or devs even look here or have a solution.
@MandyTalk. @Peanits @not_Queen could you maybe bring this to someones attention, please?
there are a lot of people that have weird resolution issues after the last patch

If you just drag the resolution scaling bar down to something other than 100% and then raise it back to 100% that'll make everything sharp again. I've had this problem forever.

That doesn't work. It's not that it's unsharp (more the usual) it's simply not the right resolution.
I can't even move down the mouse to the bottom line of the monitor, it's like 3cm over it and game says "window", also game is in fullscreen, ends there. Same on the right side.

I have this exact problem right now. I normally run in 2560x1440, and now when I boot up it's in a lower resolution, and the mouse is off center. If I toggle off fullscreen, it fixes it, but the window is so tiny that I can't play in windowed mode. Any attempt to re-apply full screen messes up my resolution again. I can't even make it out of the main menu half the time because the cursor is like 3-4 inches off where it should be.

I figured out a few things. Haven't been on here for like a month but if you're still having issues let me know I'm pretty sure I not only figured out the resolution issues but also the weird issue with strong systems getting horrid FPS regardless of graphic settings such as RTX 20 series barely being able to get 60 FPS never mind maintain it although that specific issue is pretty rare.

Still having issues as well?

@KhaineGB Can you message me privately somehow or email me or something? I have figured out a couple of specific issues and how to exactly replicate them 100% of the time and wanted to fill you in so you could hopefully directly pass the info on to someone that can do something about it. I've been trying to catch Mclean on twitch this last week but I'm in the middle of moving to a new house and getting the old one ready to go on the market so it's been tough.

I'm pretty interested what you found out and your solution about it.
Please describe :)

Ok the first thing cripples any machine but it's the kind of thing someone has to do on purpose so it's likely not something you did but still worth a quick check.
Open command prompt as admin and run:
bcdedit
Make sure that you do not have "useplatformclock" listed.
On my system and the other 6 systems I've tested if this is enabled DBD can barely hold 60FPS and if you move your mouse back and forth it'll drop down into the 50's or even 40s.
So you don't want to see this:
Ideally you should see nothing about platformclock or platformtick like this:

Ok now the other thing is that they've allowed the use of:
fullscreenmode=0
However an important fact that is overlooked now is that when using =0 these two lines which are and were previously ignored when using borderless fullscreen (which is =1) are now actually used and are important. Those lines are:
ResolutionSizeX=
ResolutionSizeY=
So make sure that if you're using fullscreenmode=0 that those two lines are set to the resolution of your monitor that you want the game to use. For example if your monitor is a 1920x1080 AND you use fullscreenmode=0 AND those lines are set to:
ResolutionSizeX=1280
ResolutionSizeY=720
Then the game is going to stretch 1280x720 across your 1920x1080 screen and it'll look terrible.
If you're using fullscreenmode=1 then you don't need to worry about those values because it will use your current desktop resolution because it's using borderless fullscreen.
So to recap. If you're using fullscreenmode=1 then things are as they normally were. If you're using fullscreenmode=0 then you must make sure that the values for ResolutionSizeX= and ResolutionSizeY= are set correctly for your monitor & what you want the game to use.
As always: Never should you set read-only on an ini file, and steam launch parameters don't do anything because when you launch the game via steam you're not actually launching the game. You're launching Easy Anti-Cheat so any launch parameters set will go towards EAC and are not forwarded when EAC starts DBD up, making them useless.

Anyone that has noticed they had stuttering and bad FPS which appears to be fixed by lowering mouse polling rate from 1000Hz to 500Hz or 125Hz should make sure that they do not have useplatformclock listed under BCDEDIT.
In reality nobody anywhere, ever should be using it because it cripples most aspects of Windows, however on a couple of "tests" it appears to make the system more responsive and for that reason well known YouTubers that offer tweaking advice suggest using it, but this advice (as well as practically everything else they suggest tbh) should be ignored.
Hope this helps someone! :)
